would be cold and without appeal. I foresee a great future for sculpture
in America, where our temperament demands it. The educational value of
sculpture at an exposition is incalculable. It is a school for the
sculptors, too, as well as for the public.



The Color Scheme & Landscape Gardening



Nothing excites the Exposition visitor more than the color scheme of the
buildings. But "excite" is really not the proper word, because there is
nothing exciting about it. Nothing was farther from Mr. Guérin's mind
than to create excitement, unrest, or any of those sensations that might
lead to fatigue or even to a nervous breakdown. We understand fully by
this time that it was Jules Guérin who is the responsible artist, and
who supervised the putting into existence of the first real "Guérin"
that ever was. Mr. Guérin has the distinction of being the first
director of color and of decoration ever appointed for an international
exposition.

It must become evident to any person who is at all familiar with the
fascinating tonal designs Guérin produces for many of our leading
magazines that what he did was nothing but to paint nature as he has
been used to represent it in his pictures. Guérin must have had a
glorious time with that first great opportunity, so seldom to happen, of
putting all those pet colors of his into the actual outdoors, there to
feast his eyes upon them. It was a daring and novel undertaking, most
successful in a large way. I hope we are going to benefit by this
