Added power of attraction lias been given to the Lewis and Clark Exposition by the exhibition of fine arts which was opened yesterday afternoon with a bright receptl6n. Several hundred guests at tended, among them many lovers of art. The reception began at 4 o'clock and ended at 6. It had to be extended beyond that hour, for there weie many loth to depart from a y.ene -so rich In beauty and meaning. The Exposition is going to prove too short a time in which to see all that Is shown In the Museum of Art. It is to be regretted that Portland cannot always have access to such a collection, but of course that is too much to hope for. No city of the Wept, and very few of the East may dare hope for so much. Port land alone bears the distinction of being able to claim It all for even a brief period of four or five months. Seven Galleries of Canvases. "he walls of seven big galleries are lost In a wealth of canvases, with many fine bronzes through the middle of the apart ments by way of variation. To walk through these seven galleries is to meet with the masters so often encountered be tween -the page? of magazines and books, but so rarely elsewhere. And it is not until the original is met with that the total Injustice of the print can be ap preciated. Those of yesterday's guests who had met their painters through the mediums of prints found themselves com pelled to remodel their ideas. For while the print holds the form, It loses much that Is valuable In the way of details and leaves behind all the coloring. "Whether In portrait or landscape, half the powir and expreIon nd charm lies In the. coloring.' Therefore those who had known a number of world masterpieces by their form found themselves lost In a new admiration when confronted by the original. The Receiving; Party. The opening of the museum was attend ed by no exercises. Director Frank V. DuMpnd explained this very aptly when he said that the pictures were the enter tainers and that they spoke more elo quently for themselves than anyone could speak for them. Thus, when the guests arrived, they were escorted at once into the galleries. The receiving party was made up of Mr. a"hd Mrs. Frank V. DuMond. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Ladd. Mr. and Mm T. B. Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. O E. S. Wood. Mr. and Mrs. H. W Goode and Mr. and Mrs. II. C. Wilson. The pictures are set In a cou&enlal and harmonious? atmosphere. The low, vault like museum, with its dark, oiled floors And its artificial lights, seems peculiarly suited for such an exhibition. This effect, it might be explained if by design and not by accident, and every detail of the building and of the arrangement of the pictures shows careful thought and . a proper intuition of the precise methods "to apply. Arrangement of Lights. In the arrangement of lights great skill has been shown. With Improperly placed lights the great paintings would look like collections of meaningless daubs of paint. As It is. every painting is shown off to the very best advantage, with the possible exception of the land scape In gallery P. where Home little manemerlng wa? found -ileeesnary to see It In Its ent'rety. but this will be promptly remedied, and Is really not worth" speak ing about. Mr. DuMond and his assistants found it necessary to work up to tho very min ute of the recaption to coraptote the big task they have performed so well. .In fact, the hanging of Millet's "Man With the Hoe" was complotod jupt as the van guard of guests reached the west entrance. In the Gnllcrics. Entering: the museum, such a maze of pictures Is presented that at first one Is at a loss to know which way to start out. But the hanging: of pictures has been catalogued and numbered, so that there need be no confusion. Gallery A, the most advantageous starting point for "doings' the museum, lies at the ex treme wost or.d of the building. It Is given up for the greater part to the works of the impressionists. There are some remarkable canvases here, where the artists have expressed them selves in broad effects and with no care for details. This gallery has 114 can vases. Gallery B contains the work of several masters of the 'old Dutch and English schools. Among the paintings that are most generally known in this gallery might be mentioned "The Countess of Huntington and Sister," by George Romney; "The Portrait of a Child," by James McNeill Whistler: "Gathering Fagots," by Diaz; "Holy Family." by Peter Paul Rubons: "Bay of Naples," by Turner, and last but by no means least, "The Man With the Hoe." by Millet. It was this cillery that seemed to get the greater amount of attention yesterday. There was no minute during- the afternoon that a group was not before every one of the old masterpieces of Gallery B. Not that the other galleries were not fully patronized, but Gallery B happens to stand second and people getting this far seemed loath to go farther. Portraits and Landscapes. Gallery C proved notable for its por traits, as well as for Its variety of fine landscapes and group paintings. Here is found Romney's "Lady Hamilton." There Is also a portrait by the noted American painter. William Chase, and four paintings by George De Forest Brush, another distinguished American artist. Mr. DuMond has three of his canvases hung- here. "The South Wind," "Refuges," and "Halcyon Days," all of them works of art, which bespeak a brush of unusual power. The entrance way lying next to Gallery C Is hung ! with eight fine paintings. Gallery D Is gien up to landscapes and with Galleries E. F and G, represents the works of artists of comparatively re cent years. There are many fine works in these galleries, which volumes of de scriptive matter would be needed to do them Justice. Galleries F and G are de voted to miniatures and photographs, and add much to the completeness and charm of the gallery. There are 28 bronzes arranged through tho different galleries and all of them share in the high standard which marks the museum throughout. Today and on each succeeding: day of the Exposition the museum will be open to the general public.
