Studio-Talk
interesting sketches, in almost every one of which
is apparent a genuine love of nature and a sincere
attempt to express the thing seen. In contrast to
these are the ambitious studio sketches of Mr. A.
Williams, one of the most " popular" of Irish
painters, which strike a jarring note with their
artificial composition and somewhat commonplace
colouring. E. D.
PARIS.—The American artists who have
made Paris their principal or sole place
of residence, are divided into two im-
portant groups: The Society of American
Painters in Paris, and the American Art Association
of Paris. No one who understands the artistic
temperament will be surprised to hear that certain
misunderstandings once existed between the two
Societies. But since these disagreements have
been completely smoothed over, it is needless to
insist on the matter further. Moreover, those who
are interested in the American art movement in
Prance will note with pleasure the presence of
several works of some of the most notable members
of the Society of American Painters in the exhibition
of The American Art Association now open. Thus
the members of the two Societies are fraternising in
the galleries on the Quai Conti, the Society of
American Painters being represented at the younger
Salon by MM. Alexander Harrison, Eugene Vail,
Humphreys-Johnston, V. A. Bridgman, Charles
Sprague Pearce, Edwin Lord Weeks, and H. S.
Bisbing. Peace is concluded. All's well that ends
well—and results in good pictures !
The exhibits of MM. Harrison, Humphreys
Johnston, and F. Vail attract special attention.
The first-named is represented by a Soiree tiede,
exquisitely luminous and delicate ; the second by
an Etude, a boldly-brushed head ; and the third
by two strongly contrasted canvases—a sea-piece,
Prcs de Dordrecht, and a landscape, showing a
pink house on the banks of a running stream.
Each work reveals the personality of the painter
with equal intensity. M. Bridgman sends La
Riviera au temps des Grecs and a Portrait de Mile.

a study of a girl; and M. Weeks a Jielai en Perse
