The Art Gallery was thronscd last nlRht with a salusv of talent, a pluilaiix of beauty, the occasion being the opciiliij; of the lUth Loan i;\liil)ition of the Ansocla- tlon. Many of Mont real's best art critlea were thero to vlciw the 181 p'.ftiirea in water colors and pastels, lent by the art patrons of Moutreal. la the whole eollcn- tlon thcro are only five Cnnadlana repre- sented. Fraser, ICdson. O'RrUii, ISarnsley nnd Bryiniier. Ninnerona as the pictures are, few of them are Inferior, and thero are some tliat are truly brlllhuit. The com monplaco ones are at least respeotable, which augurs well for the future taste of <-"aHadian collections of art, bo they foreign or native. The majority of the pictures are good In color, tectiniiiuo, drawing and composition, and tltose wlio have lieeu fortunate onouRb to travel abroad will rociRnliie old friends that will liring up many pleasant moiiiories nmin recollections of their flylns trips to the art centres of the world.

Mr. Eraser's "Pool in tb' Woods" — another of Sir William V;>i Home's collection— is startling in it fidelity to nature, while Mr. Harris' "Maple Wreath" is as unique for ori ginality of desfgn as in.spiring for ii patriotism.

A NOTABLE REPRESENTATION OF GREAT IMASTERS. The Art Association of ^Montreal is en- titled to view witb complacent pride the 'Loan Exhibition of Water Colors' now upon the walls of the new Art Gallery. The bringing together of such a notable collection of pictures in this pleasing me- dium reflects the greatest credit upon all concerned. It speaks volumes, too, for the diffusion of artistic appreciation among our wealthy citizens that pictures of such real merit and in such numbers should have found a home in our city. r FEEDING THE PET CROW. Alike to the connoisseur, the student and the amateur, the exhibition cannot fail to afford both pleasure and profit, and increased respect, perhaps, for an art that not so long ago was the play- thing of the dilletante and the butt of the 'art critic' Looking around upon the many subjects in this pleasant room, one meets at every turn works of trans- cendent merit and a wealth of celebrated nnmes that one did not expect to find out of Europe. To the student especially it will be of absorbing interest to observe how vnry- JOSEF ISRAELS. ing results have been obtained by differ- ' ent mafiters, and methods liere are many and manifold ; and the simple pioture- lovor will find this collection a thing of beauty and a joy until the day it shall huve been disjicrsed. AmouRst the many paintings by artists of world-Avide celeb- rity are three Turners, two in his earlier manner, 'Fonthill Abbey' and 'Wesley- dale, Yorkshire,' the former especially a fine study in composition ; and one, 'Florence,' in his later manner — what has been called his 'cadmium period' ; all three have the charm of this greatest of Perhaps J. F. Millet's pastel, 'La Le- con d'equitation,' which occupies the place of honor, will win the greatest 8li.';re of favor. It is indeed a beautiful and masterly study, and criticism upon it here would be almost an impertinence. In Dutch subjects the exhibition is es- pecially noteworthy : there are many fxampies of Tliolcn and Wcissenbruch, and the versatility of the former will be sure to attract attention. The modern French, Fn.Tlish and Canadian i)ainterH are also well represented ; so that no one who takes an interest in art in pen- era!, or the art of aquarelle in particu- lar, can afford to miss this masnificeut agpregation of serious and beautiful work. 1^ ^'^^7^s'!'w4i-%:^' FLORENCE— J.

Two examples of David Cox also are worthy of especial attention, as they show his M-ell-known mastery over styles BS far asunder as the poles in an especial degree, the one being treated in his bread, strong manner, the other show- ing a delicate elaboration of detail. There are two good exanii)les of Copley Fielding and a Constable that, while charming, is not characteristic of this artist's work. J. CONSTABLE, 1837.

Forluny's 'Carpet Warehouse, Tangiers,' has been seen hero before, but it is t\. perfect ptudy of its kind, and 'cus- tom cannot stale' its w-^rdiii <.f color iind other merits ; Arthur !^^elvi^e'3 'Waiting an Audience with the Pasha' will be new to most of tlie visitors, and its many charms will surely gain their hearty aj)- Dreciation. ART IN MfATEB. COLOR?; Private View of a Mafimlfloent Loan Bxblbltlon Held Last Bvenlns. There was a large and fashionable stather- ing in the galleries of the Art Aeaociation last) evening on the occasion of the private view to membera of the loan exhibition of water colors. Although this is not by any means the first loan exhibition held by the Art Association of Montreal, yet this is the first that has been devoted exclusively to water colors. The loan exhibitions have each year commanded more and more at- tention until now they are looked forward to with great anticipation by all art lovers as a rare artistic treat. As has been already remarked one of the advantages which the present generation has over preceding generations in Canada, is that of being able to see without leaving home, some of the works of the great mas- ters of painting. And be it to the credit of those men in Montreal who own many fine ex- amples of the old masters, that they so gen- erously lend them that the public may not only have a glimpse of their beauties, bub may study and examine at leisure if they so desire. The well lined walls of the new gallery show that there are enough really fine pastels Bed water colors in Montreal to make a firat- clars exhibition. The members' private view iMt evening would hardly be the time chosen to get a good view of the pictures. While the evening was a charming one in every respect, many were able to get )Ut a glimpse of the pictures; it was qaite mpoBBible to study any one of them. Apirc from the crowd in the galleries, the music times to see the pictures in a good light, for the lights overhead were often reflacbed j in the glass covering the pictures. All will, however, have opportunity of visiting the ex- hibition in the mornings and afternoons when the excellent lighting brings out the desirod ' fifect to perfection.

An orchestra was stationed at the head of the stairs, and an excellent programme of music added much to the pleasure of the evening. Light re- freshments were also served in the Inrge cla8B room adjoining the new gallery. The evening was generally considered to have been one of the most pleasant "private views " on record.

To go into any elaborate criticism of this collection, the first loan exhibition of water colors given by the Art Association of Montreal, would be quite unnecessary. Indeed, criticism of any kind is not needed; it would eeem almost impertinent to at- tempt it with the grand examples before one of Turner, Millet, Fortuny, Decamps, David Cox, Prout, Maure, Israels, etc., etc. Let it be rather to call attention to somo of the more prominent ones in this notable col- lection. The picture that will receive the largest share of attention is Millet's pastel, "La Lecon d'Equitabion," which has been lent by Mr. James Rous. It is an exquisite thing absorbing one's attention and growing more and more in beauty with study of it. There is also a crayon of Millet's "Mdlle Emilie Millet" that will attract attention- There are no less than four Turner's in the exhibition. Two of them, Fonthill Abbay and an Autumnal Morning are of about the : tame period. Another, Wo. 164, Florence, tl ' of this [painter's later period, of the time when he painted the Venice Canal and Dido Leaving Carthage. Tlie exquisite coloring and grouping of the figures command instano attention. In a prominent position is one of the mist rf'T)ark8ble colors in the exhibition, 'Tne 8 itan's Audience," by Arthur Melville. It is a magnificant interior with really marvel lous grouping and coloring. lb will be a favorite with many. Another Oriental interior is thib of a Morocco Carpet Wareholise, by Fortuny. It has been seen before, yet one could nob tire of it. There is another and very muoh smaller example of this master i/i an "Arab Sheik." Two examples of David Cjx, •'Warwick Castle" and "A Scene in Wales," apart from the separate beauties of eaoh, teive to show the painter's versatility. Two scenes of Copley Fielding, one of Coa- stable, and yet two others of the modem school, by Swan, are charming. The draw- it)g in the pastel, " The Wounded Lioness," by this latter artist, is very tine. Of Weissenbruch, Bosboom and Tholen there are the largest number of examples. The thirteen of the former will all, it ii safe to say, be carefully studied, one of hia Holland scenes in particular showing the atmospheric effect after rain. A good deal of interest will attach to No. 54, "The Maple Leaf," for it is a very deli- cate portrait by the President of the R.O A , Robert Harris. It will repay more than ordinary notice. There are examples of the work of two other Montreal artists in the collection. "Francie," by William Brymner, has already received a great deal of attention here, and has been lent by Mr. James Ross for the exhibition. Another water color by the same artist, " A Cart Load of Sea Weed," has already attracted attention, and is lent by Mr, J, Reid Wilson. The one example of James M. Barnsley, an excellent lands- cape, is lent by Hon, G. A. Drummond. Of that gifted artist, Allan Edson, whose un- timely death has been a loss to art in Cana- da, there are four examples. All are char- acteristic and highly prized. I I Two examples of the impressionist sshool cl&im attention it once partly on accouac of the vivid coloring. Besnard'ti pastel, "Eoude de Femme," lent by the Hon. Geo. Drum- mend, is not pretty, yet the wonderful Qiodelling of the nudo figure must be ad- mired. It fascinates one, as does also the Benoir pastel of two sisters, almost above it. One of the most attractive of the smaller pic- tures is the liastel "Autumn" of L'Hermicte. Five examples of the work of Maure have re- ceived admiration from all. They are lent by Sir Wm. Van Home, Dr. Wm. Gardner and Messrs. David Morrioe, C. B. Hosmer, E. B. Greenshields and A. B. Mac- farlane. Indeed the modem Dutch school }8 very fully represented. The one example of Prout, a church interior, lent by Mr. B. B, Angus, gives a fine idea of that artist's work. Altogether the collection Is one that reflects the highest credit upon the Art Association. That Montreal can boast of such a collection of masters must be a source of congratulation to all. To all, from the connoisseur to the amateur, the effect of viewing it will be the best. Many a visit to the gallery, and a long one too, can be the only meana of ap- f)rc elating such an artistic treat. The pub- ic of Montreal can do nothing else but show their appreciation of the Association's labors.
