The article presents information on fine arts. Thousands of men and women live in France and Belgium by the direct practice of fine art, as only a few score live in the U.S. and the whole population, at least of the cities and towns, are brought face to face with the fine arts and have them for a part of their daily life. Almost every family has one or more members connected with art. Every young man, if not himself an artist, has a friend or two who are artists. The greater number of the artists see, in the annual exhibitions, only a market for the products of their industry; mercantile activity has replaced emulation.
