Appreciation
Of Modern
Art
By MAURICE BLOCK.
In order to understand modern
paintings we must realize that paint
ing of all the arts is most sensitive
to the social changes of our time.
Art is essentially a social expression
and reflects in a large measure the
character of its age.
Science has revolutionize every
phase of modern life. It has min
istered to Vnan's comforts and it has
changed the very order of his being.
Through scientific discoveries in op
tics impressionism came into being,
The painting of light, which was
the greatest achievement in the his
tory of painting since the discovery
ot perspective, impressionism at
once became the almost universal
creed over the entire western world.
It revitalized painting.
Then science lured the artist into
still newer fields of expression-, in
to the world of abstract forces and
ideas where he seeks to express mo
tion, complexity, sound, sensations,
etc. Almost countless isms have
sprung up all having at base the
same principle. Summed up in a few
words they aim to communicate sen
sations rather than to relate facts;
to interpret life rather than to re
cord it. This struggle has been in
force some 30 years. What will j
come ot it all we are too near to
predict. That the large majority of
these artists are serious men there
car. be no doubt. We are stupefied
by their efforts. Without seeking to
understand them, we rely on the fu
ture to be their judge. But our dis
comfiture is increased in the realm
of music and poetry where the same
forces are at work and we realize
vaguely that some metamorphosis is
upon us.
We have only to go back into the
last century to find that many of
the artists, such as Ingres, whom
we now call academic, Corot and
Delacroix fought the same fierce bat
tle for their ideals as our mod
erns are now engaged in, and under
the same condemning f.riticism,
'monstrous," "vandal," "absurd."
Throughout the 19th century each
new period of painting departed
from the rules held sacred before its
and though up only a short while
thought the ride quite fascinating.
She hopes to go soon again.
Mrs. Donald Macrae is also very
enthusiastic regarding this mode of
travel and after her first flight im
mediately began making arrangments
for a trip of considerable length.
Ideal Club.
Mrs. C. E. Swanson reviewed the
Current Events at a meeting of the
Ideal Club held last Tuesday with
Mrs. James Hunter on Glen avenue.
Others who contributed to the af
ternoon program were Mesdamcs M.
F. Rohrer and G. F. Spooncr.
Personals.
Mrs. J. M. Barstow spent last week
in Chicago.
Miss Leta Hunter is in Lincoln,
Neb., for the week-end.
Dr. Earl Bellinger has returned
from Excelsior Springs, Mo.
Mrs. Howard J. Butler has return
ed from a visit with relatives in Har
lan. .
Mrs. Wallace Graham "returned
last week to her home in Ottum
wa, la.
Mrs. Joe Cheyne and small daugh
ter, Jean, have returned from Fort
Dodge, la.
Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Mayne leave
Tuesday to spend a few days in Des
Moines, la.
Lynn Brown, who attends college
at Ames. Ia., is spending his vaca
tion in Council Bluffs.
Mrs. W. H. Dudley plans to leave
on Thursday for Vermont state,
where she wilt visit relatives.
Miss Ruth Cooper will return to
morrow evening to resume her stud
ies at the National Kindergarten
school in Chicago. .
Miss Dorothv Faul krrived . this
morning from Lincoln to be with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Faul dur
ing Easter vacation.
Miss Katherine Swift of Harlan.
Ia., spent last week in the city at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Win
ifred Mayne, and Mr. Mayne.
Mesd ames M. A. Tinlev and E. P.
Schoentgen returned Friday from
Grinnell, Ia., where they went to at
tend a meeting of the D. A. R, j
time, and yet each has come into
recognition.
All of this leads us to reflect that
times change; we are different from
our grandfathers; we are placed :n
essentially different evironment. It
is right that we should be; the very
fact of life means growth and
change. It would seem that in the
process of change we require cer
tain landmarks, like the old home
stead, to remain unchanged, and
since the artistic perception is exer
cised in so limited a way by the aver
age man, his tendency in that line is
nonprogressive. The fact remains
that as the capacity for accepting
new ideas in modern business pro
longs the lite of a man in that busi
ness, so the same capacity with re
gard to life, art, philosophy, etc., en
richess life and maintains through
its maturity a certain vision to meet
the new and changing order.
The collection of paintings now
being exhibited at the library by the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts presents
the life work of an artist in a man
ner in which we are seldom priv
ileged to see it. Here is a man of
unquestioned capacity and endowed
with a supreme sensitiveness. He
gives us in his youth the familiar
harbor scenes which respond to our
casual vision. They please lis be
cause we can comprehend them at a
glance and without exercising any
mental energy. The artist reaches
certain heights in this period, it is
true, but he is restlessly casting
about for a medium. Then he re
freshes us with a vision nf color;
light has taken possession of 'him.
The series he calls "Pools" is before
us, vibrant with life and light. Here
the artist interprets nature through
a more evolved and sensitive vision.
Then, just as Whistler did, he delved
into the rich mine of oriental art and
thought What he learned there he
has told us in his figure and still life
compositions. He is no longer im
petuous, but certain and contempla
tive. The adaptation of oriental
thought in the figure pieces is alto
gether masterly; these arc portraits
in a new sense, the figures taking
their places amid groupings of ori
ental units in harmonious composi
tions. In his still life groups he has
given his most profound expression
He feels in the primtive carved . ant'
polychromed saints and in the pot
tery of the old Persians something
of that quiet reverential dignity that
renders them capable of conveying
his greatest message to the world.
One feels by the conviction and
strength of his painting that the art
ist must have worked under pres
sure of very strong feeling and that
what he registered was himself, the
objects painted being but the vehicle
of his emotions.
