OPEN AIR ART
PURCHASES ON INSTALMENT PLAN. At the open air art exhibitions, when Paris artists set their canvases up beneath the trees of the Boulevard St Michel, in the Latin Quarter, or the Boulevard de Clichy, in old Montmartre, pictures may be purchased on the hire system. If piano makers, furniture dealers and sellers of wireless sets sell their goods by deferred payments, artists ask why should not they do likewise. The buyer gets his art so much a month and the artist is able thus to sell more pictures. And John Citizen, who by this means is able to acquire a picture, may be making a valuable investment should the artist whose canvas of yellow and red sailed sardine fishers of Concarneau, or sunbeams lighting the glades of Fontainebleau forest, one day become famous, as others before him have become famous.
