...Palmer returned to the U. S.; rested on her laurels. In 1918, she died at Sarasota, Fla., bequeathing her collection of Corot, Bissavis, Whistler, Monet, Millet, to the Chicago Art Institute; her castle and fortune to Potter Palmer...
...Senff was sold last week, for Frans Hals's Portrait of a Dutch Lady. It is an interesting demonstration of the force of fashions among collectors that, in one evening's bidding at the same sale, 35 pictures by members of the Dutch School, Velazquez, and Corot (whose works bring the highest prices of all more recent artists) were sold for $346,150. The rest of the collection which onetime Sugar Merchant Senff had made in the 1890's brought the total price to $580,375. Governor Alvan Tufts Fuller of Massachusetts had his dealers buy Corot...
...little pictures of the White Church of Arequipa, Peru, and the Churches of Cuautla in Mexico are fresh and charming, and the Canal View done in Venice recalls Corot's sketches of Rome.

Pisanelio may seem, at first thought, to be purely nonsensical, but with longer inspection of these drawings, it will be found that his nonsense becomes mingled more and more with passionate reality until it fixes itself in admirable...
...cooler, less sensuous and more spiritual music of Debussy, exemplified this afternoon by two nocturnes. Debussy's work has always seemed to me, if I be pardoned for what may seem to some a grievous confusion of arts, to partake somewhat of the nature of pictures by Corot and some of the Impressionists. There is in them the same silvery quality of overtone, the same sort of shimmering airiness that is found in the paintings; an almost wraithlike quality with its appeal to the imagination combined with an emotional body of ever-shifting sentiment and passion...
