Loan Exhibit Affords Feast for Portland Lovers of Art Display Includes 250 Famous Paintings Canvases Prom Noted Old Mas ters Enthrall and Instruct Opens With Festival Week, to Attract All Summer. RT LEOXE CASS BAER. EVERY picture-lover In Portland will hail with delight the splendid op portunities granted by the privilege of the free Lan Art Exhibit to be held during the Summer at the Portland Art aitKPum. Beginning with Ross Festival week, this collection of 250 valuable and famous paintinss owned by prominent Portlandcrs. will add lusttr to the city's ultvady widely-known and keenly-alive appreciation of the liner arts. The trustees of the museum are doing a Farticularly noteworthy act in putting he general public in personal touch with a loan collection emhraelng most of the representative oil paintings owned in the rity. The collection is a notable and rxtenslve one. including the work of a few of the older masters, as well as can ass by modern artists. Portland as a city has every reason for congratula tion that such an exhibit may be seen within her gates. The list of contributors includes W. B. Aver. J. W. Burns. I. N. Flelschner, Dr. William Jones. David T. Honeyman, William M. Ladd. Charles S3. I.add. A. I- Mills. Walter Mackay. Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie. H. C. Wormian. C li s. Wood. Mrs. Theodore Brooks Trevett. Misses Sallle and Frances Iewls. Miss Flanders. Mrs. Hugh Hume. Mrs. James Reed. Mrs. W. S. Iadil. Miss Henrietta II. Falling. Mrs. H. W. Corhctt. Mrs. Helen Ladd Cor bet t and the Misses Fail ing. The splendid private collections of these contributors are well known and have been universally admired. With this opportunity one may study art at first hand, and not, as is so often the case, gain a knowledge of what great artists have thought and -done simply through the means of black and white reproductions or from books. One real live painting from the hand of a master will tell us more of art than hours of patient study of what the art critics have to say. In this loan exhibit the most notable of the old masters includes three por traits, a Oeongone. of the Italian school, a Cuyp of the Dutch school, and a Gains borough. The last named is of Mrs. Stddona and is undoubtedly an original. Another noted portrait is of Opurbet, by Iilmself. This artist also is represented fcy several rich landscapes. : Three portrait by Mettling are anions the choicest paintinss shown, as is also s charming head by George Fuller, one of the most interesting of the earlier Amer ican artists. A very larse canvas by Daumler. entitled "Cherubs and Fruit," Is decorative in character and rich in warm coloring. ; Montlcelli can be studied in half a floien canvases, of figures and landscape. He Is first and above all a colorist and runs rich In wealth of beautiful colors. vf these types "The Cavalipr," loaned by Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wormian, was shown tn the art exhibition at the Lewis and Clark Exposition and attracted much at tention and discussion as to its merits. The largest painting, "The Ball." glows pith color, and is delightful in compo sition. Diaz, distinguished also at, a color ist, is shown in two flower pieces and two landscapes. For contrast in color one may turn to the cool silvery greys of Corst. It is to be regretted that but one landscape by Theodore Rous seau is shown, as one always likes to see a full representation of the Barbl zon school. Daubigney is shown in several landscapes and a study of a flock of sheep. Albert Ryder, an American colorist. peculiar in style and technique, is well represented in the collection. Going back to the French artists. Roybet, Bonvin and Vollon are all rep- 1 rence, shows his New England environ- resented. Roybet's work shows a fond ness for the introduction of rich stuffs and tapestries in his paintings. As a still life painter, Vollon has never had a superior. He is called the painter's painter, a man of quiet force in hand ling color. Of the American painters, Innes is represented by several landscapes. J. Allen Weir is shown in portrait, land scape and flower pieces. " A generous number of gems from the brush of Childe Hassam, the New York impres sionist exponent of portraits and land scape, who spent all last Summer sketching in Harney County, "are on exhibition. Among them are several charming Oregon studies with glimpses of Mount Hood. Also by Mr. Hassam is a beautiful portrait study of Mrs. David T. Honeyman. J. Francis Murphy, one of the good modern landscape painters, is repre sented by one landscape. As are also Twachtman and Henry R. Poore. Tal cott. whose death is a recent occur- ments in his "Hard New England Pas ture," loaned by Dr. William Jones. This conception is expressive of all the barrenness as well as the beauty of the country in which he lived and painted. There is one painting by William Chase, who has been for- years one of the leading figures in the art world. In style versatile, he paints landscape, figures and still life alike with appar ent ease, and has done much charming work. The landscapes by Homer Martin in the exhibition are excellent in color and poetic feeling. A water color landscape loaned by Miss H. H. Failing expresses the strength and originality of Winslow Homer's style. A strikingly beautiful yet severely quiet landscape of rolling hill and canyon in soft, cool greens and grays, is represen tative of Sartain, and has been loaned by I. N. Flelschner. Several charming mar ines from the brush of Gedney Bunee- are also to be seen.

The A-Y-P Exposition will bring to this section many who will extend their visit to Port land. While here among the hundreds of attractions and interests our city has to offer them, surely no one thing can excite more favorable notice and comment than will the loan collection of paintings at the Art Museum.
