An admirable description of the National Gallery of Art as planned by Mr. Platt is contained in the American Magazine of Art, published v the American Federation of Arts, itten by Royal Cortissoz. Mr. Cor- t ade is in the Renai ats. It is rusticated on the first or and left smooth on the upper stage, where blind windows are in- troduced to be e the practicable ndows below and to help in lending proportion and animation to the whole long wall. A parapet broken by balusters at regular intervals crowns the facade. A few niches symmetrically . placed the upper part of this facade provide spaces for statuary, but there is little decoration about the scheme as a whole, It is intended that without undue severity this should have the simple and serene aspect befitting an archi- wral monument of the kind, A ortico ing that air of vast spaces which In European galleries has been due not so much to a definite policy of museum building as to the taking over of old palaces for museum purposes. A museum on the scale of the National Gallery in Washington cannot possess a precisely intimate atmosphere, but it can at least approximate to that rather than to for- bidding grandeur. Thus Mr. Platt's vestibule and entrance hall, of reason- able dimensions in themselves, lead to a corridor that is in its turn comparative- Iy modest in scale, and this corridor frames a court, open to the sky, in which a fountain and green things completely exclude austerity. There is a lounge and tearcom at the further end of this court, with windows opening on to the tree: and grass. The court will make places for a certain number of pieces of sculp~ | ture, but in its broad character it is in- tended to give the building a kind of friendiy center. “The typical galleries on this floor. which has side windows on all four -_— .
