The Democrat joins with the rest of his friends in wishing hiu success. It seems strange that a man whom Europe honors as the greatest living painter of sacred subjects should be practically in Englund that the magazines huvejis yet left him wholly unexploitod. Every body’s Magazine for Decemlier gives the American public their first glimpse of Eugene Burnnnd’s work with an interesting account of his simple, hard-working life among the peasants of his well loved Swiss village. His paintings show a deep sense of the power and mystery of certain JBiblc scenes, and a strongly reilgous treatment, that is nevertheless modern. America should learn to know his work bettor.
