THE COURIER. I . Si si ART CHAT. Art in Lincoln has, within the last few years, taken a great stride forward. The Hayden art club has had a great deal to do with the development of art in the city, and too much credit cannot be given to that organization. It has by the judicious bringing of good pic tures to the city cultivated the latent art instinct and stimulated the lovers of good art to study and work for a higher standard. The exhibition last winter was one of the great uplifts along the line of good art. The splendid aggre gation of gocd paintings seemed to fire all the artists with renewed zeal and the interest has not lagged in the least. The state university, that head of so much that is refined in the city, is per haps the head of the art interest. Miss Cora Parker, the instructor in art, is one of the best artists here, if not the very best. She has had good training and has studied under the best masters in this country and in Paris. Her work is original and "geniusy." She has im bibed the new impressionism to a great extent and uses it with telli g effect in her work. A great deal of her work is from nature. She takes picturesque and unusual scenes and makes them look real. Some of her figure pieces are very clever indeed. Her studio in the university building is lined with bits of landscape painting that she has brought from difierent places where she has trav eled. This summer she will spend Borne time in the Shinnecock hills, that fam ous paradiee for artists. Mrs. James H. Canfield, whom Lin coln is most unfortunare in losing, is one of the art lovers of the city. She loves art for art's sake and always takes a great interest in all that pertains to the upbuilding of good art in the com munity. She has studied for a number of years. Within the last few years she has studied under good instructors in this country and was in Paris under a famous master for a while. Mrs. Can field is an impressionist. Her work shows the effect of that school to a great extent. She loves to paint figures and portraits and shows remarkable talent in that line of work. The paintings of her daughter, Dorothy, and of Chancel lor Canfield are true to life and show originality that is pleasing. Some of her little landscapes are clever and pretty. Mr. H. H. Bagg, who has his studio in the Burr block, has been identified with the art of Lincoln for a number of years. He came here when the art interests were yet in their infancy and has had his share in building up a love for good art. He has had the good sense to paint Nebrreka scenery and has been most successful in that line of work. Seme of his best work is in water color landscapes. His principal forte seems to be landscapes, although for the sake of teaching he has taken up the lines of portrait and figure painting. He has some clever paintings in his studio. He is not an impressionist. His work is more even and is smooth. He is a conscientious artist and does hie work with a love for it that will event ually bring him fame. Frances Bel Don Carlos has her studio in the Burr block also. She originally came from Denver, where she studied from nature. A greet deal of her work is of the western mountains and Bhe has caught the spirit of the west in a pleas ing manner. Lanscape painting is her favorite work and she shows the most aptitude for that style. She has failed to take up with the new impressionist school also. If with her painstaking detail she would use a little of the free dash that comes from this new school her work would be more pleasieg. Dur ing the art exhibit last winter she made a copy of the Harvesting scene in Utah that is a very faithful copy and pleasing indeed. The canvasses she has in her studio are mostly scenes from Colorado. Miss Elizabeth Tuttle, who has been studying in Chicago for three years, will return this summer. Her work has been attracting attention in Chicago recently. She does a great deal of clay modeling also. Hei favorite work is fig ure painting and she seems to be more at home in that line of work. Some of the best things she has dono have been figures. The Arts, a magazine in Chi cago recently reproduced one of her paintings that was remarkably clever and true to life. There was a strength and a life-likeness about it that were refresh ing after the namby pamby sort of work that young artists usually turn out. Miss Tuttle bids fair to be one of the best artists Lincoln will have. Alice L. Righter, the new instructor in oils, water colors and pastels at the university, is a clever artist and one that will add greatly to the interests in that line in the city. She has been studying for some time under approved masters and her work is showing orig inality and splendid results. She likes impressionism and does good work with its aid. There are other artists in the city, many who are doing splendid work. They are lovers of art and work, not for fame, but because they love it. Many homes are beautified by dainty water colors and clever paintings done in oil by these lovers of art. The foun dation of good art is laid and the future is well assured. William Reed Dunboy.
