in art matters usual luring lur-ing tile summer months the artists are again c niingto the front with a number num-ber of surprises for oar artloving public pub-lic They have not been idle Aside from the sketches whu4hey have gatheied of Nature serial story 1 studies and plans for larger pictures1 have been growing under their hands Several of these have been exhibited during the past week and have proven of unusual interest MR GEO M OTTrXGKB I has two landscapes at Savages gallery both fine examples of his matured skill Lake Mary and the Silver Lake form the subjects The granite rocks and height of the one and the pine woods I and snowy peak of the other are splendid splen-did subjects for the brush Mr Ottinger has handled them with his usual care and delicacy In the Lake Mary es specially the cold grey of the granite and the dark translucent depths of water are most happily given It is not to landscapehowever thatMr Ottinger devotes his highest skill and labor in the realm of liguie painting he has made diligent study into the nistory of Old Mexico and many are the unique and original subjects he has painted from it In his studio are sev eral of the very best of these The Storm Priest is a picture which must attract attention and interest at first sight it is a capital idea for an effect in color aside from its historical value The priestall gayly bedecked in brilliant colored feathers and precious stones goes stalking down a steep mountain trail playing upon a sort ot flageolet with which he is supposed to call up the spirit of the storm at least in this case he has been successful black clouds hover overhead and great floods of mist are gathering around the I peaks whilst the priests drapery and long black locks stream wildly in the wind Another picture representing a meeting between an Aztec warrior and an Amazon princess is painted in the artists best manner Love at first sight seems to be lIfe motive the artist has wished toshow There is a second idea beautifully expressed in the same picture pic-ture The vanquished princess lays her bright spear at the feet of the warrior 1 but shenas gained a victory nevertheless neverthe-less one which gives the greatest pride to a woman the complete enthrallment of a lovers heart Several other pictures i of incidents of the Montezume reign contain good work but we prefer the two pictures we have mentioned MB II L A CCLMER Has made a sketching trip through the Yellowstone National Park calling also at the Shoshonc Falls he has applied himself most assiduously since his return re-turn and aside from his labors in other directions he has managed to place before be-fore the public as the first results of this trip general view of the Shoshone looking up the river This is a very comprehensive view of the fall embracing embrac-ing perhaps more points of interest than can be given from any other point it has this drawback however that to do it full justice requires the most consummate con-summate genius and years of practice Mr Culmers rendition of this scene has been both admired and criticised The Narrows of Ogden Canyon is in our judgment a much better picture To delineate the various forms of rock with its cleavage seems to be an intuition intui-tion with Mr Culmer The rocky walls in this work are splendidly painted they loom up pale and grand To carry the details so far and yet keep such a unity of effect is a triumph for the artist ar-tist there is no aim to show nature in a poetic mood but rather to give aFt a-Ft ral rendering of facts The rugged grandeur of a Wasatch Canyon is well realized the glimpse of the lake in the extreme distance not only adds to the picture but places the locality In color composition and technique this is one of Mr Gulmers best The coloring color-ing is extremely delicate and beautiful all pale and misty and full of true grada tion an effect at once captivating and difficult to obtain We compliment the I I artist T f MR FEED LAHBOUBXE The three superb paintings of the I Shoshonc which Mr Lambonrne has exhibited Walker Bros during the I week attracted a large number of visitors I i visi-tors The commendation and praise L bestowed upon these fine works of art I must baye been gratifying to the artist F in the extreme Besides these picture I he has just completed a small pair 01 I I mariries called Grey Morning and I Golden Evening Y both excellent little I pieces A couple of sketches illustrating I illustra-ting the geysers are interesting 1 MB JOHS TULLIDGE 4 i I Mr Tullidge has been along the D < fc R G and obtined some fine material for work He lias placed one scene on I canvas1The Castle Gate = Itis treated under a most poetic effect the last glow I of evening on the rocky height There is something Egyptian in the weird I fpnns of the rQcks towering bove like a vast sphynx or hugh monolith watching over the narrow pass below The tone of this nicture is full of softness soft-ness and air Sunset on the Salt Lake is a happy Apiece of work warm and i plowing with the r red light of sunset We hope Mr Tullidge will place these Works where the public can have a chance of seeing them There is a little picture also in the studio painted pretty by the artist from a sketch by G S Erb Mrs Aside from his work in the studio I in connection Mr Tullidge has been engaged m nection with Bfc Anaerson frescoing fresco-ing a room forMr J R Walker We had the pleasure of viewing fins piece of work and < we consider it an achievement achieve-ment of which both gentlemen may ment o sell feel roud Mr Tullidge has done Portion and Mr Anderson tfie artistic tl e j SSended particularly to the lias attended more deration We do not remember ever ae ration effect Sroom in which the total < of eing harmony a room and beauty of color and t sesigu ST more strikingly apparent I with its nice adjustments of H its parts j to make an agreeable effect without anything being overdone a most judicious I judi-cious discrimination of line and colors Fhe ceiling is laid oil in four panels I j with a richly decorated cornice in bas I relief and we observe a new feature 1 introduced showing a rustic bar running run-ning along in the angle of the rove i this bar supports vines of morning glories twining around it and hanging rich festoons over the projecting mouldings of the cornice Woven into the general design are four beautiful landscapes I representing the seasons each one is a little gem Another original idea shown is that in the centre of the four large I panels is an opening showing a peep I of the blue kyA most exquisite fancy of the artist has been to givea second rendition of the seasons in an entirely different vein from the firat idea This time with fruits and flowers typical of each season sea-son Spring being represented by a branch of apple blossoms which in luxuriant luxu-riant grace has trailed through the aperture Summer is shown by a branch bearing a glowing crimson rose drooping down through the next azure opening Autumn by a bunch of luscious lus-cious purple grapes which hangs temptingly down Winter is shown by the bright berried holly and what does it not suggest of holiday mirth and cheer no matter how rages the storm without this is a fitting emblem of love and mirth suggesting jc ful reunion or loving hearts on that day which above all others brings peace on earth and good will to men We congratulate both artists on the result of their combined labors which show that they must have worked in unity together The result is a magnificent magni-ficent piece of artistic workmanship t S |
