Gold"~Sant's * kdrersity "=Ete., Ele, Bpeetal Correspondence of The Triduné. Parts, July 6.—Tho British exhibition s not only ong of the floest In the Chiamp do Mars, it Is aleo the most surprising, Nowhere are the slzns of progress more visible; nowhere do you find better taste, both in the work exhibited and the way of exhibiting, This progress is very evident in the Britlah {ndustries, but here It might have been expected. It {s when youturn to thosc parts of the ex- hibltion In which Art s applied to Industry,—ns in the manufacture of furoiture, porcelain, and bronze-works—or where Art reigns alone,—in the picture and sculpture galleties,—that you ARB MOST ASTONISHED. There fs not In tho whole Palaco any art-dle- play more full of interest or more auggestive. 1t waa not long sluce It was the fashion to sneer at English Art. Probabiy the sppesrance and costumes affected by the English travelerabroad ~—mala and fomale, but especlslly female— had not a little to do with the dlsparaging opinion so often expressed abont It. Intha main, It Is fair to argue frum taste In dréss what s person's or a nation's tasto may be in higher things. A real, decp-rooted love of Art would be as clearly shown In the selection of a nocktic as of a plcture,—~in the carving of a wooden table as in the grouping of a plece of aculpture. Then, again, the architecture. What could be thought of a country which had allow- ed the perpetration of & Nationsl Gallery, and the construction of those thousands and tens of thousands of hideous railway-orches that shock you at every moment in London? Let us admit, then, that Art was till lately in & very bad way in England. Or, rather, that Art was torpud, waiting for an outward influence to stle Its sluggish soul Into renewed life and activity., It was not always 80, Two hundred—thres hundred—years ago, Eugland—** Merry Englaud "'—wasstudded with fair clsles and plcturcsqua palaces. The people was musical, cven to the peasantry,—just as the German peovle Is musical at this present day. (I speak of clementary music, of course, not of the higher forms.) What can be prettler In fts way than the old Engllsh gleo or madrigal? Look at such towna ns Choster, Canterbury, or Dawlish [n Dovonshire. Or, it that be too far, look at the faithful reproductions of the archi- tecture you flnd in the Exhibition,~at Cubltt's houso, or tho pretty English cottaze of Collinson & Lock. The old Furitans liave much to answer for. With their advent Art deparied, or scemed to depart, forever. Yet it was not dead. TNE IMPULSE camo at last. It waa at tho 1851 World's Falr that England awoka to the sense of her artistic Inferfority, When she compared her poreelains and plctures with the works of the foreizner, andat 8 glauce measured tho humiliating dls- tance between then, then, with true Aunglo. Bazxon teoaclty, she sct about the gigantic task of education. Bouth Kensington Muscum and the Art-Schools weretho chief instruments of the revival, Branch schools soon dotted the country in all dircctions. The pupils swelled and swelted In nutnber, tHl from thous s thev grow to be hundreds of thousands, Manufac- turcrs paid heavy sumsto induce French and Bolgian workmen to settlein England, Tho por- celain-makerscalled intheassistanco of designers from Sevres, Marchester took to studying tho differont forms of Eaatern Art. With the quick- encd eve camne the quickened ear. The nation becamo suddenly conscious of the power of Musle. Heethoven and Mendalssohn wero pop- ularized by the concerts of the Philharinonic Bovloly; chamber-music drew crowds to the popular concerts at 8t. James' Hall. From ad- miration it passed slowly to undcnunuluF. It has nuw, in Musle, reachied the period of fmita- tion, Perhops tho next geueration may ace England a musical creator. In all this, however, the forelgn influence is still plaio. Sterndale Bennott was a wesker. Mendelssohn, Worcester porcelaln s often a combinntion of English work and French {deas. It Is different nll.oiether in the case of Palnt- log. The works of Art exhibited in the British picture-galleries are, with few exceptious, dls- tinctly and unmmfluhly impressed ith the mark of tho native genius. They are YRACY OF THE B0IL," and true reflections of much that is interesthog in the uwnnri. the thought, and_the customs of England. They havo_come to Frenchmen ns a perfect rovelation. British artists, as a rule, work In and for their own country, and seldons take part in forcign competitions. For ono of thelr plctures in the Baon you can generally find two or threa contributed by American artists. The Freuch contemporary school fa donbtless bruader, more universal, moro fdeallstie. Mod- crn English Art is young beside it} but it has already many of the qualltirs that entitle It to conslderation and respect. It is ot a sehool apart; original, esruest, vitorous; realistic rather than ldcallstic, An English landscapo s & falthful copy 0!
