THE COURIER. 11 r y Art Notes. Tho very interesting notes on tho Evans collection and sale sent Tho Courier by Mi6S Sarah Wool Moore and printed i'i tbeso columns last week were so much appreciated that I print this furthp- notice of tho artist. Minor, from The "iiiiiep. Bent me by Miss Moore. I Ed-1 KOIIKKT V. MINOK S MVCKSn. A significant sign of the time?, as al ready noted, and one which has been long and anxiously looked for by the Ameri can artist, was given at the sale of tho Evans collection at Chickering hall last week. It would 6eom that, at last, our painters are to have honor in their own land. In an interview with Mr. Kobert U. Minor, at his studio at tho Sherwood, he expressed his gratilication at tho re sult of tho sale so far as ho was per sonally concerned. "But," ho said, "the applause whieh greeted tho bid of three thousand and fifty dollars for my Close of Day.' was as much directed to American artists, as a body, as to myself in particular. Hitherto Americans have lacked tho opportunity to compete with the world, and tho Evans 6alo gave them that opportunity." Being asked if ho had expected the appreciation of his pictures shown so substantially at tho sale, he replied: 'Yes, and no. I suppose most of us are conscious of the power that is ours, but I wish success had come sooner, for I am no longer a joung man and my health is not what it once was, but that it has come during my lifetime is more than is given most of up, bo 1 am con -tent. I must confese, however, that I fe!t a pang of emotion when live thou sand dollars rang out hard for the pic ture of my old friend Wyant. How good it would have been had he but been there, too ! "' "The Evans sale." ho continued, -'was one of tne greatest importance that has ever taken place in New york,.fortbew - reason that it was a lioo collection, and because the collector was liberal, criti cal and sensible, and tho sale was not a result of the necessity of the artist. I am deeply interested in tho success of my compatriots who, like myself, have fought a hard fight, for example and here a bright smile stole across his seri ous face , a friend of mine in London who much admired my pictures, was very intimate with Sir John Millftis and asked him to come to my studio to see them. 'An American artist ?" said Sir John. 'Oh, no. no ! I cannot go to his studio, tie might shoot me.' Never theless, we are making rapid advance ment and will 6Con run them as close in art as we are doing in literature." Mr. Minor began his studio late in loot for the poetic side of nature and found it in plentitude. On an easel in his studio stands a lovely limpid n onlight scene, deli cate subtle aid strong, reminding one in some respect of Turner. This canvas is an actual study Irom nature, having been piloted ut night with tho aid of a locomotive headlight, and after ward touched up by du light. Side by side with this raro picture stands that considered by the artist his masterpiece. "Nightfall." a rich and grand conception of treee, foliage aud golden sunset. Mr. Minor is in his sixty-second jear, a quiet and self contained man of some what delicate frame, with regular feat ures and large gray ejes that light up with enthusiasm as he speaks of art. and gentle and courteous in manner. One could wish him more robust- health and' many yoara Jo enjoy the. deserved celebrity which camo to him to gladden his heart aud that of tho appreciative woman who bears his name, and who enters into all the details of his work, being, in fact, his right hand. If Mrs. Minor bo not as emotional as she was represented to have bean when her hus band at the Evans sale suddenly found himself famous, she is all that a helpful, sympathetic and gracious woman should be. itsSSSSSSSsSSSSSS People Hate No Trouble In rettinr what thev want at tho Good Luck Grocery. 0- w- CTTV HOT MPtrtM. There will open at the Avery galleries, :;S Fifth avenue, on Monday next an exhibition of twenty eight oils. six draw ing?, twelve reproductions in color of original work four has reliefs, a silver wedding cup and a small bronze Dguro of fcl hu Vedder, the artist and illus trator. Tho exhibition will continue to and through February 24th. It is some time sinco Mr. Vedder haB shown any work in New York, and the- coming dis play will undoubtedly attract wide spread interest. The Girls Men Admire. They admire the girl who is her mo ther's right hand in household matters, and who is not above taking an interest in the most trivial things in connection with home duties. They admire the girl who is a bright, entertaining com panion, and who baa ever a kird word and pleasant smile for those around. They admire tho girl who is always neatly gowned, no matter if in inex pensive materials, and whc never dress ei loudly or in questionable taste. They admire the girl who can adapt h-rsolt to any society, who never puts oa h fleeted airs, and who would Ecorn t) do an action of which all the world might not know.
