THE ARTS CLUB.
A very interesting Icetnre dealing largely with sculpture of the Greek, Roman, Renaissance, and modern schools . was given in tho Arts Clubs last evening by Miss Myrtle Leo, some very fine Jain tern slides illustrating it. Modern sculpture, sho said, compared to the older schools, was wanting in intellect and refinement, and owing to modern dress tliero was di faculty in depicting modern figures. It tended to hard roalism. The sculpture of the Renaissance expressed vilality, spirituality, and intellectuality, and was a wonderful mixture, of perfect art and inward ©motion. Greek art was a typo rather than individual, not lending itself to the expression of emotions. Tho real greatness of (lit, Roman art lay in its architecture and realism was its distinguishing feature.
