MURAL DECORATION FOR A NEW YORK CHURCH BY VIOLET OAKLEY

of the leaders in the movement as accepted in Paris.
The following is the list of artists who were re-

Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Paul Ganguin, Vincent Van
Gogh, Georges Seurat, H. de Toulouse-Lautrec,
Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Armand
Guillaumin, Auguste Renoir, MaryCassatt, Henry E.
Cross, Maximilien Luce, Theo. Van Rysselberghe,
Paul Signac, Pierre Bonnard, K. X. Roussel, Leon
Voltat, Edouard Viullard, Albert Andre, Maurice
Denis, Georges D'Espagnat, and Charles Guerin.
The arrangement of the exhibition—indeed,
its very raison d'etre—was, however, greatly mis-

even less satisfactory. Those who admired the
first were naturally disposed to ask why they should
have to look at the others, and what can have been
the aim of the committee of management in getting
together such a heterogeneous set of examples of
modern work ! The very best picture was, without
