ART AND STUDENTS OF ART
Lecturers at the Congress Discuss Methods ,
Details and Results ,
HOW PICTURES ARE REALLY BUILT UP
iionloilKo of Aniitoniy nn KN
IIH llnilfrxtniidliiK of IVrwpectli c
or Color American I'lilntem
ConMldvrcd ,
W. M. R. French , director of the Chicago
Art Institute , addressed the Art congress
jcstcrday morning , Illustrating his remarks
by drawing In crayon. The attendance was
not large , and was composed almost entirely
of women , but the lecturer's drawings were
alone worth more of an audience , putting
aside all question of the technical value of
hii lecture. He took for his subject "Anal-
ogles Between Art and Lltciature , " being
Illustrations of certain analogies between
composition In graphic art and composition
' In literary art. Among other things he
| said.
"Audiences generally are more familiar
with literal y than with graphic art , yet
there Is a striking similarity between the
two. The writer of a seimon or a book first
prepares an outline of bis subject , nnd later
fills In with anecdote ami descilption , and
embellishes with rhetoric. So It Is with the
artist After deciding upon his picture , ho
then makes a rough draught of Its outlines.
The llrst lesson taught In the art school
, i Is to sketch the subject model with the
, . fewest possible lines to make It recognizable.
Then then nil In with the little things , but
the whole picture hangs on the oilglnal
lines
"Wo fapeak of making a skeleton of our
work. In the literary world the use of this
term Is In a figurative sense , but artists
generally deal with real bones. To attempt
to draw the human flguro the artist must
understand the formation of that figure. If
> ou attempt to draw n man In the act
of striking n blow , and It Is Inconvenient to
seutro an athlete for a model , jou try to
think what position the bones would take
In placing your man In the proper posi
tion. "
Here the lecturer drew the skeleton of a
I man In an attitude of striking , and after
ward built him up , presumably Into a thing
of flesh and blooj.
t "The task upon the artist Is to produce a
3 picture which shall appeal to us as strongly
as ho Intends it should. There are many
acknowledged laws of composition , not
founded by the artists themselves , but by
recognized critics , buch as Ruskln. These
are principality , balance , curvature , con-
tlnulty , radatlon. repetition contrast , Intcr-
change , simplicity and harmony. "
These points were then each In turn 11-
lustrated in sketches made by the speaker
nnd later on were nil combined In one
picture The lecturer made further refer
ence to the similitude between the work ol
the graphic artist and literary artist by
telling the thoughts which actuated Edgar
3 Pee when he wrote "Tho Raven , " as Poe
himself told It after the poem had been
published. He showed how all the Ian3 ol
composition mentioned hero were brought
Into use by the poet In building his great
poem.
l < Afternoon Attendance Iiiurenneii.
There was nn Improvement In the attendance
-I
tendance yesterday afternoon , but the sam <
feminine predominance was apparent whlcl
characterized the audience In the morning
The lecture was by Charles Francis Brown
an instructor In the Chicago Art Institute
aud his subject was "American Painters.
Ho Illustrated bU lecture by the aid of i
stereopticon , the room being darkened for
the purpose , nnd the pictures were thrown
on a canvas stretched over the front of
the plpo organ.
The lecturer said ho bacj been Impressed
by the logical arrangement of some of the
exhibits in the Government building nt the
exposition , showing the development In
some particular branch. He mentioned the
hammer which Is shown In the crude shape
of stone which was used centuries ago and
the finely finished article which Is used by
the skilled workmen of today In accom
plishing the development of the trades.
The same Is true , he said , of the display In
the Art building and ho would seek to Illus
trate this development In the course of his
lecture.
Mr. Brown divided the history of Amor-
lean art Into three periods. The first was
the colonial or revolutionary period , closing
with the death of Gilbert Stewart ; the second
end extended down to 1878 , when the Art
Student league nnd the Society of American
Artlsls were founded In New York and the
third , or modern period , coveied the tlmo
from 1878 to the present. In the beginning
American art was under the Influence of
the English and Italian school , but since
American students began to go abroad for
their education and training the Influence
of France and Germany Is more noticeable.
The speaker then gnvo a short sketch
of the different American artists , with crit
icisms of some of their work , beginning
with Benjamin West , the first American
painter , following with John Trumbull ,
John Copley , Gilbert Stewart and others
down to those well known today. Through
out It all specimens of the work of the ar
tists were thrown upon the canvas for the
benefit and Instruction of the audience.
The lecture wag entertaining and of great
value to all Interested In art culture.
Mil * Ciuillleld'N l.vctnrc.
Miss Anna Caulfleld gave a lecture before
the art congress at the First Congregational
i church last evening , on the "Golden Ago of
Italian Art , " Illustrated with stereoptlcou
views In colors , which to many was a reve
lation In art , poetiy , philosophy and history
all combined. She has been strongly Im
pressed with the natural trinity of archi
tecture , sculpture and painting and for an
hour treated her charmed audience to a most,1
Instructive transition from the Gothic to the
Rcnaissant In architecture nnd painting In a
very philosophical resume of the progres
sion from the thirteenth century In Florence
to the sixteenth century In Rome nnd
Venice. Mrs. W. W. Koybor Introduced her.
Her endeavor was to answer the questions ,
"How shall wo awaken an Interest ! in art
In America' " "How shall we convince the
people that ) art Is something more than a
mere form of amusement ? " and "How can
It bo best Introduced Into our cities , our
schools and our homes' " We need eye cul
ture Hi well ns soul culture , she said , speak
ing more particularly of the American people
ple , and she advised that we turn from
God's nr'J in nature to man's art In nrchi-
lecture , sculpture and painting. The Amer
ican people can do as did the ancients cul
tivate n love of beauty from the continu
ous scene of the beautiful In which this
country abounds In Its natural scenery. She
stepped aside a little to add a word of
praise to the TransmlssUslppl Exposition as
an object lesson In art.
Stress was laid upon the value of color
and she rather deprecated the decoration of
homes v\lth' pictures In black nnd white
and brown and white. The women's clubs ,
she thought , could awaken an Interest In
art by going about It the proper way. An
awakening In the direction of att , however ,
she bald , Is going on Jn America as In the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries there was
a revival In Europe In the Renaissance. The
capltol at Washington and the congressional
library building she had thrown onto the
Ecre n to emphasize this point and by way
ot comparison with Florentine architecture
In the Duomo which , having grown from i
study of the Pantheon , had become the or
Iglnal ot all great domes from St Pel'er'i
at Homo to the national capltol. As a treat
ment of the subject of architecture itself tin
lecture was a most profitable one t'o he
listeners.
Her Stereoptleon Vle .
Her stereopticon views were of a vcr
high order , numerous nnd versatile. The
covered everything of note from the day r
Lorenzo the Magnificent In Froienco , t
Michael Angelo's frescoing of St. Peter's an
the Vatican in Rome and the masterpiece
of Titian In Venice. Fra Angelico's work
of spiritual beauty In his religious painting !
Andrea del Sarto's faces , Raphael's madon
nas , the style of Leoiardo da Vinci nn
Glorgionl's pageantry scones all found
place In her Interesting sweep of the fou
centuries. Florence she considered the hel
of Rome's magnificence and Venice that o
the marine beauty of Constantinople , cac
Inheriting a special feature of the respectlv
divisions of the Roman empire. Form wa
the prevailing characteristic of Florentln
art and color that of the Venetian. Her II
lustrations were brought to a happy final
by a reproduction of Titian's Afisumptlo
and a moonlight scene of the grand canal c
Venice , for which she was compensated b
spontaneous bursts of admiring applaus
from the tclect , audience which had accom
panled her in her enteitalnlng tour from th
-nno to the Tiber and thence to the "brld
of the Sea , " whobo doge lives now only I
the immortalization that has como froi
Shakespeare's pen and Titian's bnibh.
