Panama-Pacific Exposition in San
Francisco he is represented by a col-
lection comprising twenty-nine of his
prints—an unusual honour for a young
artist.
Mr. Sturges’s work is distinctive;
he knows the value of line and tint,
and expresses with charming delicacy
the play of light and shade. In the
mass his lines are vibrant with life.
There is a fine freedom and sureness
of touch in the treatment of his flesh
tints. Mr. Sturges is an excellent
draughtsman and is fancy free in his
work. He will sketch a figure or a
landscape on the copper with the flash-

would display in his work. He had
in the exhibition here a number of
shipping scenes vibrating with light and
atmosphere, several of them showing
moonlight effects—also bits of Boston
Harbour. A number of his portraits
included in the group showed his

is seldom that an
exhibition of etch-
ings has aroused so much
enthusiasm among artists
and art lovers generally, as
did a collection of dry-
points and etchings by Mr.
Dwight C. Sturges, exhi-

some recent additions early
this year. The work of this
artist has met with much
success, many of his prints
having been purchased by
connoisseurs. At the exhi-
bition of the Chicago
Society of Etchers held at
the Art Institute of that
city a short time ago Mr.
Sturges was awarded the
Lamont Prize, and at the “on the war path” (Pennsylvania Acade??iy) by cyrus e. dallin
