10 popularity is a problem and a menace to the growth of art appreciation in America. Ill -12- A contemporary artist of repute and renown, and a contrast to Maxfield Parrish, is Childe Hassam. The technique in his work carries an impressionistic but individual character all his own. And what a delightful feeling for atmosphere, for sunlight, for the lyrical. What a strong sense of composition and what a sparkling joy of life he achieves. His canvases fairly radiate and palpitate, life, light, and joy and are expressed with great freedom. Ill -13- Gari Melchers is a second contemporary artist worth noting. His work also is characteristic to him and contains nothing of the contemptible "prettiness" which condemns some insignificant would be artists. There is solidity, frankness, sincerity, character and a realistic truthful quality that admits real sterling worth. Gari Melchers
