THE OPEN-AIR GALLERY.
A group of enterprising Paris artists, unable to pay the high prices demanded for exhibition halls, solve their difficulty by setting up a portable exhibition of their own on the wide pavement under the boulevard trees.
Spring and autumn see a week-end of such open-air> shows with the artists themselves, or members of their families, acting as showmen and salesmen. The public stroll by, taking their time to study the pictures, and if one of them attracts them enough to buy it and carry it away with no more formality than if they were buying a bundle of vegetables; and the money goes direct to the artist’s pocket undiminished by high commissions and tips.
