[While serving on the World’s Fair Jury]
Saturday — I spent partly at the Gallery, and visiting a couple galleries. A fine show of Tintoretto’s at Durlacher’s – which gave me a deep feeling of satisfaction. It is only as one grows older, that he can come to appreciate the Old Masters.
[I forgot to mention that on Friday, before going to the Whitney Museum, I stopped in to see Hopper. Mrs. Hopper was there, and as usual, monopolized the conversation. Her grievance that day was that Hopper, according to her, had not only not voted for her picture at Richmond, but had failed to try to influence the other jurors in its favor. God help the artist who is married to another artist!]
