THE EXPOSITION ART-CALLERY. A. D. BHATTUCK. Tz 'TRIBUNE to-day resumea its criticisms of the collection of pictures at the Exposition, com- mencing with A. D. Shattuck (N. A.), wno has the first group of pictures on the south wall of the northeast room, ten in number. This artist is a native of Now Hampshire, began his artistic studies under a portrait painter in Boston about 1851, continued his studies at the Academy in New York, and opened a studio thero somewhere about twenty years ago. He is now a little over 40. A simultaneous exhibition of the works of Shattuck, Colman, and McEntee some years ago caused them to be compared with each other. The last-named srtist has a group in one of the east rooms, and & comparison of the artists st the present time shows & strong difference be- tween them. McEntee paints in great variety, with' strong characterization of his subject, ex- presging the weathor or the sesson with great distinctness; Shattuck reprosents the place rather than the sentiment, and is distingmished | for excellence in detaits, foreground, for in- stance, in which the present large picture is strong. Auntumn landscapes, especially in White Mouxtain scenery, are his favorite subjects, of which (No. 44) “ White Hills in October” is a fine example. The shoep (Nos. 4G, 47, and 53) are the most pleasing of the small pictures. Grace, pastoral effect, and likeness to Navare, are to be looked for in Shattuck. The groups of the esstern rangs of galleries are reached next, the particular ornament of the Exposition. Four pictares of J. G. BEOWN (X. 4.), two landscapes and two of the genre pictures, for which he is best known, make up his group. Nos. 115 and 118 are wood interiors, looking up and down a ravine, bright and painstaking. It would appear that Wood interiors are not easy to make into effective pictures. If we go through the galleries and examine such pictures ss we canfindof this class, No. 349, of Richards’ group, and Hetzel’s ** Bhade Creek " (No. 713), for instance, both careful studies and good ‘paintiogs, we ehall get some notion of the diffi- ‘culties. A few figures, a boy withagun or some children with bright clothes, wonld add to the interest of the pictaros, bat woald take off all the attention from the principal aim of the artist, the representation of nataral objects and the expreasion of secinsion. It is by the figure-pictures like “Yes or No ™ (No. 116) and * Walk In" (No. 117) that Drown has reached his reputation, though this group on tae whole falls below a fair representation of him. Alittle pictare of & bootblack, * Dall Times” (No. 422), in the corridor. and a little sup-lit girl in the southwest room, “Sunlight and Shadow " (No. 731), are fully as good ex- amples of Brown's usnal production as those in the group, and there is a water-color also, of children_at a watering-trough, ‘* Patting His Foot in It 7 (No. 521, corridor), which ought to be taken into sccount. The sanshine effects of the two last pictures, and also of the girl’s figure in “Walk In” are favontes of ‘the artist. Jeaithfulness and high finish, such 28 are exhib- ited conspicuously in the carefully-dressed and well-bred but not too spirited young gontleman and lady who have reached a critical point in “Yes or No,” appesr to be among the chief aims of the artist. Brown is a New York artist of English birth, now getting well into middle age, popular for somewhat humble and genre subjects. Let the visitor wbo does not like these atep to the left, Bonih of ite door, and examine | WINSLOW HOMER'S GRODP. Nobody ia of two minds about thess—it is yea or vay, and that speedily, too often tbe latter. These lovers, * The Conrse of True Love ¥ (No. 110), bave a different time under the shade of the hay-mow from Brown's gentle folk. This manis ‘plainly & farmer : Brown is probabls a boottkeep- erinabsnk. Tho drawing of the girl's figure, the averted, petuiant expression, are admirable. ‘There is a red earof corn at their feet which warrants the suspicion that the rustic lover bas found it and presnmed on a lib- erty warranted by tradition, which he is obligod to explain. Homer is one of the rising young artists whom Jarves looks to to cure us of the damage experienced from Leatze. These six pictnres show his hand perfecily. “*Gloucester Harbor” (No. 111) at the top is in the style mede familiar to the visitors of the New York water-color exhibitions by the pages of hi§ sketch-books, always spirited and vigor- ous. As Homer is a marked man sad not s pop- ular favorite, some of his qualities are worth pointing out. First, he drawa well, as will be clear from =a carefal inspaction of the presont pictures without referance to their color. ‘The admirable ontline and poss of the figares, such as the girl with the milk-pail in No.108, is & merit of Homor rarely though occasionslly (as in our spring_ exhibition of water-colors) want- iog. The artist is plainly arriving at other ob- jects than to make pretty pictures—a fact inexplicable to persons mot particu- larly conversant with artist life. ‘There are groups of pictoresa here—William Hart's landscapes for instance, and perhaps Brown's genre pictures before spoken of—in which decorative effect seems to be one of the orincipal objects. Other groups, such as Whit- tredge's, are marked by effort after reality, and othors, like William Beard's, by the intelligence of the artist. The common remark that artists ought to paint pretty pictures, and have no right to paint ugly ones, i true to the extent that itis their duty to produce that which sball givo pleas- ure to gome claes of minds, which shall in some ‘way be interesting snd satisfactory to worthy persons. It may be supposed that a profession including profound as well a8 clever men, thonghtful ones as well as doxterous, should bave a thousand different objects in view besides pleasing the popular, uncoltivated fancy. The artists may, in their early studies, be satisfied with producing merely plessing, ' finely-finished works ; but itis almost a matter of course that the more thoughtfnl and bright-minded of them ehould presently turn to purposes of & more serions kind, either to the expression of original and valuableideas, or to tachnical prob- lems of various kinds, of which the former it is noadless to sy is indefinitely the higher aim and the rarer; but either of them more creditable to the artist than a mere ornzmental object. Homer appears to bamainly occapied with tho latter, and the particular things be ie seeking are good drawing and certain relations of color which respect weight more than tint, and are appre- hended by artists better than by lsymen. “Milking Time” eeems to have been painted altogether for this. There is no especial story. Linear perspective ia altogether avoided, apparently purposely, the three boards of the fencs being thrown straight across the pictura. The relief of the girl’s figure sgainst the feacs, and of the fence szainat the fieid, are to be obtained sltogether by the monsgement of color, and Homer is plainly uowilling t0 exag- gerate serisl effects of distance for that pur- pose, anddevotes himself to painting ‘fine re- lations of color to convey distance. By daslight the success in this picture is_questionsble, but in the eveuing it i3 very striking.

Let the person who wants to Lnow what the differonce between good and bad portrait-painting is, make a study firat of these pictures of Le Llear, who is acknowledged one of the very best portrait-painters in the country, torethor with the group of Sellatedt of Buffalo, nes: by, and Philligs’ * Norton" in the Chicago Gallory, and Slurlaw's studies of hesdsin the same room,—if_they msy be reckoned among portraits.—and then ‘turn to the ordi- nary run of portraits exhibited in abundance in the Chicago room—not but they they can paint as bad portrais in New York or Buffalo as we can here, but untortunately the gallery is accessible to our own bad artists. Ono taing is noticeable to the attentive observer of these fine pictures of Le Clear, as in all good portraiture, and that is the accazate, unshrink- 1ng drawing or ** modeling,” as the painters call it, of tho whole face in every detail, 80 that not only every feature is perfectly character- 1zed, bat every fraction of & square inch is truly sod considerately defined, tho effect of which 18 thatif you direct your tontion to any particuiar spot you can see jus ‘what the shape and texture of the skin at that point is. This aud the fine color snd the mao- agement of background, and the relstion of the masses of color to each other, go to make 1up good ;i?ertmm a8 well a8 other fine picturea. ‘Thomas Clear (N. A.) was born iu Owego, N. Y., in 1818, aud bas always been chiefly & por- trait-painter in Rochester, Buffalo, and New York City. Ho hos, bowever, painted a fow compositions, street scenes * Young America,” “The Itinerants,” etc. Ho has worked steadi- 1y up to bis present reputation, snd theso works indicate tho merits on which bis 1eputation de- peuds,—fdelity. technical skill, aod especially the power of expresaing character, as well as bodily likeness, The group of portraits of L. G. SBELLSTEDT (X. A.) is in an adjacent corner, six 1u number, includ- iug one lady. Less academio than Le Clear in oxecution, Sellstedt is more forcible in color, the one point in_which Le Clear has lately been criticised. The purtrait of himself 1a the finest of the group, every way excollent, and express- ive of character. Belistedt is a Swede by birth. ‘The Swedes, is woll known, inherit no dis- tinctive last name, and Bellstedt is dorived from tho salt production of the district where the arist was reared in humble life. He used to sail upon our lakes, but, some twenty-five years 80, settled in Buffalo, and for the last fiftecn vears has beon painting good portraits. Per- haps the most remarkable thing in his caraer is hisindependence of association with other artists. His membersinp of the National Academy is dated 1875. He bas spent all hig artistic lite m Buffalo, far from the stimulus of the fellowsbip of brother arusts, which is nlmost a necessity to most painters, and has worked up to hus present oxcellence by bis own ability and force of char- acter. If, as bas peen said, itis ‘‘the mark of true genius to build ita own fire,” Sellstedt pos- sesses the sscred tlame. For great force and meric generally the portrait by Phillips and the Teads of Shirlaw before spoken of, snd perbaps the neighborivg beads of Freer (Nos. 610, 611, southwest room) are worth examining. Bad portrrits can be found readily, destitute of good drawing, true coloring. or similitads, snd be- tween the extremes of decidedly good and ob- trusively bad thers ars in this collection pictures of this class in all styles of camposition, or, it might be eaid, 1o all stazes of decompoeition. 'T'wo groups of landscspes and views on the east side of the northeast room atuwract the ad- miration of sll the better class of spoctators,— CASILEAR'S AND 8ANFORD GIFFORD'S GROUPS, Tne Iatter is on the whola likely to bear off the palm in the whole exhibition for pesceful, prre, and satisfactory beanty. Tho art displayed in the arrangement of the groups is as great, though aiso as well concealed, as that in the singlo pictures. T light comes from the same quarter in all, excepting, perhaps, oue of the Little Alpine views. Tho central picture, **San Giorgio, Venice " (No. 152), is incredibly besutiful, the fair and famous islo of architectare floating lightly upon the golden waters. Itis so true that travelers recogmize the painted sails of particular boats; it is 8o luminous and sweet that comment and criticiem lay down their amms. If you got eeparated from your friends im the Esxposition look for them before thig pictare. If yon do not find them there, they will find you. Sanford R. Gufford (N. A.)— not to be counfounded with R.Swaw Gifford, the painter of coast scenes—is another New York boy, from Saratoga County, the son of an iron- monnfactarer. He was educated an artist, studied in the best ataliers 10 Europe, and hav- ing acquired tachnical skill, turned to the gource of all successful ar¢, the atudy of Nature. The prosent group is Oriental and European, but Gifford has been versatile in subjects, and it 18 only aince recent_joarnevs in the East that ho has been especially known as le is here. He also has painted cosst scenes, and the names of somo of his former pictures indicate their sub- jects: *The Coming Storm,” owned by Edwin otn, “Csmp of the Seventh Regiment,” “ First Skating of tbe Season,” ** Mt. Mansfield,” ete. Gifford was a member of the Seventh Regiment of New York, and went to the War— repeatediv—with the regiment, in_cases of emer- gen:y. He hasbeen anAcademician for the last twenty years. One of the most striking of the prosent pictares is * Memnon " (No. 103), s simple view of the great Theban image which 8118 calm in the aunshine with a placidity which Beems to rebuke modern degeneracy. The framing of these pictares is well studied, a8 well ag their other points. Gifford is fully possessed with the artistic instinct, eeizes beauty and paints it with ekill and intelligence, aims not at & moral, but at the sentiment of the beautifal. P OASILEAR'S GROUP, noxt to the porth, is another thing altogether. Casilear waa brought up au engraver, and fol lowed that art for maoy years. These pictures show it in the clean ouclines, definite trestment, aod disposition of weight aud masses, which would bo effective even without the color. The large central picture, ** Twilight, Catskill Moau~ tains ** (No. 144), ia a beantiful ropreseutation of the quality of a clear, post-sunset sky, 80 bright a3 to kul out all the detail of the mountains against it excepting the sim- plo outline. The brook in the wood, a little pic- ture, the upper oneto the right, is a sweet, finished picture that anybody would like to pos- zess. Durand and Cole were Casilesr’s masters in landscape art, and he stadied with the former abroad, but the necessities of those dependent upon him kept him long at work upon his busi- nees, engraving bank-notes, and it was lste wien ho was £rea to devote himself to painting. Correctness, purity of atmosphers, patient fin- ish, the qualities of an engraver, are amony the conspicuous merits of Caailear, an immense con- trast to George Iunsss. Close by this group is a ses-ghore picture of BRICKED, ‘Op Iron-Bound Island, Mt. Desert, Me.” (No. 150), which is a first-rate' example of one of the younger artists, Who haa painted himself 1n- to reputation within the last five years on just such subjects. A similar picture in water-color, * Break, Broak, Break,” was exhibited in the New York Exhibition of 1874, which, with this, may be. reckoned among the bost of Bricker's works. The artist is from Newburyport, Masa., and many a long day, his word for it, has he lsin upon the grass and looked at the ses. Another of his cosst pict- ures, *Summer Aftsrnoon, Cspe Ann " (No. 627), has somehow found its wavinto the Chi- cago Gallery, but itdoes not compare with ** Iron- bound Island™ for breeziness, dash, and wet- ness,—qualities which we ars just now, under the recent tateisge of Lake Michigan, ospecially wall qualitied to appreciate. A verv small picturs of John Lafarge (N. A.), under this, a water-lily (No. 151), is sweset in sentiment, and worthy of the artist. ‘Two important groups remain in this room. BELLOWS, OF BOBTON,— or New York, at will,—occupies the sonthwest coruer, with six pictures highly charactoriatic, and one not at all characteristic to persons who have made his soquaintance of Iato years. How- ever, Bollowa used to be reckoned & genre paint- er, and * The Blina Beader * (No. 105) is prob.. ably an older picture thaga the others, and cor- tainly not so distinctly good. Bellows isa New Englander, with 858 long' an Ameri- can | hna;fi a8 anybody short of the original lgrims. Early practics in drawing, an spprenticeship in lithography, and oy b od Bellows with bis artistic outfit. He paints a great deal in water-color, and has been & hugh officor of the the water-colors. They &re marked with the same distinguishing feature as tho oil pictures; a certain waving, flickening quality, best described perhaps by a word sugested by an artiat, ** pal- pitatiog,"” which is very individual sud pecoliar, aod yet very pleasing 8nd gcemingly true to Na- ture io somo aspects. Nobody paints mare hike a gentlemsn than Bellows. His quiet subjects, tasteful monagement of colors, ‘wnd well-aus- tained execuuon give 0 lis piotures a self-pbssessed, polite character, eminently gatisfactory to good sociely. He i3 de- servedly tucceesful &t present, command- ing better prices than most other artists, espe- ciolly for water-colors. The critically disposed may ponder whether tbediference of atmosphere in the two pictures—' Sunday in Devonshire and ‘*Showery Day, Isle of Wight” (Noa. 101 sod 104)—is not too slight for the contrast of weather. If you want particular spacies of trees, Bellows is not. the man to executo them. His Lombardy, poplars are distinguisbable, but all tha rest of his trees are clothed in the foliage of appletrees, and represencgreen, plaasantshade in goveral. Characterizationof this kind is not what bo is after, und it must be looked for elsewhare. Bierstadt's_fine osks, by the way. are meant for cottonwoods, but cottonwoods resembie every- thing.—witness the tine elm-like trea at the foot of Eighteenth street.

Chicago a Leader Among Cities in This Respect. The Eminence Attained by “The Evening Journal” Printing-House, The Most Artistic Establishment in the Country. Bhining in bright hues from great brick walls, glancing in rainbow tints from fences, Dbill-boards and curb-stones, the show-bills of the period challenge admir- ation and sttention at every turu, and en- hanco the picturesque attractiveness of every metropolis. Chicago is pecalisrly conspicuons as & city of show-bills. Its broad strests are of spacial value to the showman, exhibiting as they do his Targost and gayest sunouncements to uncommon advantage. The gaps in its bmlding lines, also sre of rare worth to him, giving him generous, expanses of slde-walls on which to hang his many-colored paper banners. Bat it is as the home of the most complete esablishment in America for producing novelties in the Lno of show-bill printing thst Ohicago is superlatively interesting tc public exhibitora the country over. A TrBoss knight erraot, in quest of the rare and the beautiful, hied him one dsy last week to the job printiog house connected with the Ecening Journa! office, on Dearborn street, be- tween bladison and Mooroe. The fact that cer- tain aaperb posters, eminent among thoir fellows for grace of design, bnlliancy of color, aad gen- eral elegance of execution, which from time to time-in thepast had avracted the knight erraat’s attention, had always been found to beay the Journal job office imprint, was the chief caase of his visit. He had an additional incentive in the knowledge that every dramatio, masical, migatrel, circus, or other smusement mansger of note who had ever been in Chicago, had borne prompt snd plessant teatimony to the saperiority of the work done at this eatsblishment. What he saw, heard, and learned was found to be of unusual interest. 8o entertaining was the visit that its results have been jotted down in detail, and are here duly chronicled. The Chicago Evering Journal Printing House is under the management of Mr, John B. Jeffery. This gentleman i o tail, conrtly youog man, direct io speech, natty of attire, and brimming with a business vitality which is Chicagoish to the core. He is a practical printer. being thor- oughly accomplished in every grest and minor feature of Lis art. At 20 years of age Mr. Jef- fery’s complete familiarity with his avocation and pronounced executive ability led to his be- ing given the full charge of sn office extensive enough to employ upwards of forty journeymen prioters, He afterwacds Leld equaily onérons positions in the office of theold ann‘ng Pozt, in this city, and in those of the defunct Repub- tican, and in Millard & Decker's large houso. He was then, at the age of 24, coaxed to In- disnopolis, where he acted as business-mansger of -the Sentinel, effectively and succesafully as usual with him 10 eversthing ossaed. Five years ago he forsook the Hoosier Capital to assume his prosent place. Thosa have been five eventful years to him and to the cause of fine job printing 1n the West. In that time he has g0 wielded nis authority and opportunities that this city is now the acznowledsed peer of any metropolis in its ability to iesao artistic pag- ters acd to do elegant printing of all kinda. ‘Though he i8 still the voungest man at the head of sny like institution in the country, Mr. Jeftery has challenged aod _distanoed competic tion e ago. Blendiog with his ac- curate knowledge of his trads an agree- able personal address, cotrect artistic judgment, mature literary perception, and excellent admin- istrative capacity, he is peculiarly adapted tothe arduoua task he holds &0 well iz haad. Under the sagacions direction of Mr. Jeffery, the Evening Journal Printing-Honse has become the home of all that is ornate and thorouch in ita lLine of business. Its work is a marvelous com- binazion of tho artistic and mechanicsl, sud sheets are thrown off by its busy presses, that in design and execution are often worthy of porma- nent installment in any art gallery. 8o elegant and reasovable is the show-bill work of this house, that it hasfairly raversed the old chaonels of its trade. Within a fow years the West has not only cessed looking to Eastern cities for its show-bills, but it has actually creat- ed bere in Chicago a market for the Esst. The fresh and beautiful deaigns of the Evening Jour- nal House are in steady and growing demaad all over the country. It sends its printing to New York, Philadelphis, Halifax, Richmond, Havana, and intermediate points along the Atlantic Coast, while heavy ordera are filled westward all the ‘way to San Fraucisco. Mr. Jeffery has worked a pronounced change in the ideas of amusement mansgers in regard to show-bills. He has provad, and is atill prov- ing, to them that what are known ag ‘*‘stock- cuta™ are by no means a8 useful to prominent artists and combinations as cuts mzde expressly to order. Stock-cuts are pictures kept on hand by oue or mare printing-honses, aod are gener- ally sold indiscriminately to all who apply. Un- de:r this arrangement a gayly-colored poster which originally ropresonted Chbarlotte Cush- masn 88 Queen Katherine may ultimately bs hung on the bill-boards of city and country as Lydia Thompsoa, Aimes, or Soldene in gome one of their favorite characters. The injury, of course, is to the greater artist in all these cases, for they are , blazoned to the pablic a8 joint owners of cuts with tho inferior and less repntable per- formars. LW The Evening Journal Printing House keeps stock cuts. g’horfl will alwsys be n demand, which must be supplied. But AMr. Jeffery sslls these with such discretion that no injury iz done to the parties for whom tho cats wero firs: made. To the better class of dramatie, musical, and other managers he makes offers so advantsgeoLs that they ara fast growing ioto the babit of hav- ing new and specia! poatera propared for them. With such accomplished masters of the pencil a3 Felix Regamey, Theodore Wnst, Joseph Beale, and others, o design for him, Mr. Jeffery ig able to give managers the freshest and most beautiful of drawings. He guides his aruists personally, farnishing practical suggestions and ideas to them. This is neceasary even with the most competont draughtsmen, for the artistic- executive and the suggestive faculties are rarely combined in ope person. Matt Morgan is ane of the most facile aod adept artiats in tho world. But hig inability tlo ‘hit upon pat themes weakens his work amezingly. Tn addition to designs thus maturely wrooght, the patrons of this house have the benefit of the superb chromatic type made by William H. Paga & Co., of Greenville, Conn., and of print- ing done on the unrivaled Poiter presses. They o cmicago. A. F. Brooks has gone to Northern Michigan to make sketchas for two or thres weeks. B. F.

Kor the information of strangers: Besides the Exposition exhibition of pictures, there are two good thoagh not large coliections of paintings constantly open,—the gatlery of the Academy of Design, on Michigan avenue, and Highwood's private gallery of German pictures, on Wabash avenue. The young ladies have taken to wesring family portraits for oruaments. Breastpins having de- veloped to & gize approaching the shield of Achilles, ivory postraits have now become avail- able, There are several advantages in this naw fashion. In the horsc-cars, for instance, an agreeable point is farnished for opposite eyes to rest upou, and the tedium much beguiled by the supply of & temporary gallery of fine art. If the copies could be esrtified in some conspicuous way, & convenient means would be furpished for forming a fair infereuce of the probabla descent and social connection of the wesrar, for it is not everybody whoso ancestors wore ruffied shirls and had their portraite pawuted on ivory.

Auspicious Opening of Another School Year— Unsurpasscd FEacilities for Classical and Scientific Culture in Chicago —The General System of Private Schools, Seminaries, and Academies. .. The past week has been enlivoned by the most interesting, most importsnt, and, in some re- spects, most delightful of all the anniversaries of civilization and Christianity, the openiog of the public schoots, while the comiag week wiil witness the reinauguration of ‘‘business” ins large proportion of the academies, seminaries, and private schools of the city.
