Astute Parisian Scheme For Booming ■ \New MaiMr.” For tlie booming of a new artist an astute dealer is ueeesary. He catches bis artist as youug as possible, prefer ably us an exhibitor of cra z y canvases at tbe autumn salon of the lj>deP“ ^ ents* exhibition, and commissions Dim to paint 100 pictures a year. One by one, occasionally In twos ana threes, at judicious Intervals ihe deal er sends the pictures to tho Hotel Drouot for sale by public auction. There he has confederates, wbo raise the prlco ut caeb sale, and he buys tbem In blmself. After u few mouths tbe young ar tist's cauvases bnve a certain market Tfllue. and the next step Is taken to turu their painter Into a modern mas ter. The critics nre uttadked. One or tbem Is asked to look at some daub, and when he cries out wltb horror the dealer says: \What? You don’t like It? Take It home wltb you as a favor lo me. live wltb it six months nud then”- In due course an art amateur calls qoon tbe critic and ennnot contain bl* admiration for the new artist’s pic- “Wbat a masterpiece! The most modern thing In art 1 bave seen for a long time!\ be exclaims. Doubt begins to Invade tbe critics mind, and wben oue or two more en thusiastic amateurs bave visited him he Is worked up to writing a column of panegyric on the new master. The amateurs are. of course, sent by the dealer. One or two articles and tbe boom Is in full awing. Wealthy and simple minded collectors, remembering bow otber painters have been decried In tbelr early days and bow tbelr works later bave commanded fancy prices, rush in. The new master makes about 10 per cent of the proflt and the dealer the otber 00 per cent. Tbe new master Is at tbe mercy of tbe dealer. If be grumbies tbe dealer floods tbe auction looms wltb a hundred or ao of his masterplecea and orders bls agents not to bid. tbe result being that tbe can vases sell at rubbish prices, and tbe boom la burst.-GII Bias.
