PHOTOGRAPHING ON CANVAS.
Paris, Nov. 1. Artist Becliard, a pupil and friend of Cabanol, has discovered a method by which ho can reproduce any subject by photography on painters’ canvas, reducing to tho minimum the difficult art of painting reproductions. No one has been able to do it hitherto, because the canvas is coated with white lead and fatty substances. By using a photograph of the picture on canvas the necessity of spending weeks, perhaps months, in work on the original outline is obviated, as the shading is faithfully reproduced with the outline by the camera, and only the colors have to be filled in. The reproduction of a painting like, for example, “Le Poote,” in the Luxemburg, could not be finished in loss than four weeks by ail artist of overage talent. But by photographing tho picture on canvas and afterwards painting in the colors the whole can be completed in eight days and, it is claimed, in equally good style.
