| TEXT | Art is becoming mose and more generally diffused throughout this country, as it progresses in wealth, and the pioneers of great fortunes are reaping the harvests of their early exertions. We do not love art the less because it is not as generally diffused as throughout Europe, but because we have not had the same advantages in studying it as Europeans, who have the convenience of the galleries that have taken centuries to collect, and when the works of the great genius of the old masters can be studied with little cost. But wealth engenders travel, and travel knowledge and taste for art, which, although dormant, and without knowledge of the great store of art which is hidden from, us, exhibits itself in delicacy of taste, which is the next thing to it. Our country is still in its infancy, but it is growing dally in art as well as in everything else, and schools where it is disseminated are now scattered throughout the city, so that all those who have artistic genius can learn the rudiments of their road to fame. Among these may be mentioned that of Mrs. Canti, at No. 58 West 125th Street, who offers all the inducements to students which they can crave, and advantages are here given which cannot be found elsewhere. Those who buy their materials at the studio, and paying ten cents for wardrobe room, can have their lessons free, and those who bring their own material have but to pay fifty cents a lesson. Artists' materials are furnished just as reasonable here as they can be got elsewhere, and original designs are furnished for pupils, and pictures are loaned to copy. Besides teaching all kinds of painting in oil and water colors, Mrs. Canti teaches interior decoration and fresco painting, and pupils acknowledge their progress under the lucid and able teaching of their preceptress. Mrs. Canti is an artist of long experience and of fine taste and genius, and has been a resident for a considerable length of time. She has been established as a teacher here only a few months, and during that time has secured many pupils who are progressing rapidly in their studies, some of which give fair promise of a brilliant future. Her rooms are new and finely fitted up in a tasteful manner. She gives lessons in oil painting, water color, pas-telle, china lustra on canvas, paper, velvet, silk, satin, china, wood, metal, stone, porcelain, and slate, either in classes or singly, and gives exhibition room to all those who wish to expose their work. She is a lady of fine presence and winning manner, and has not only gained the affection and esteem of her pupils, but of the public in general, who respect her both as a lady of culture and refinement, but especially provincial in the profession she has adopted. |
