The. HovendenVpainting, ''Breaking
Homo Ties," which will be exhibited by
tho Haydon Art club, commencing
Christmas night, is undoubtedly the
most popular picture ever painted in
Ame ica. At the World's Fair in Chi
cago it created a deeper and wider im
pression than was ever made by any
other in a similar exhibition. In reply
to a friend's inquiry a3 to the thought
which suggested tho painting of tkw
wonderful picture, lie wrote the follow
ing letter:
Plymouth Mkctixg, Montgomery
County, Pa, August 21, 1SD1 Mrs.
Liraino Xurmen. Dear Madame: I
have been unable earlier tj reply to
your kind letter of 1 1th. owing to lack
of time, and also to the fact that I can
rot use my ejes to read or write only
occasionally, and then at more or less
risk. I suffer a great deal from he id
ache. Fortunately it does not injure my
eyes to paint, so I shall try as briefly as
possible tt give jou a sugaetion or two.
In the tirst placo I cannot nowrecill
the time when the idea of Breaking the
Home Ties" Hist came to me. 1 only
know that it was with mo for several
ears before I commenced to paictit.
and that I had it very much in m
mind, and that it took a great hold of
me. I had in mind the mother. That
was almost tho picture to me. I think I
luvo succeeded pretty well in giving my
ideas of her tho American mother as
1 havo eesn them in the country. I
have been fortunato in feeing very
many noble ones, and that is what I
tried to convey in my picture. Of course
I might have considerable to say, but as
I said 1 have to be careful ot mv eves.
And then. I am not a writer, I am a
painter and do not think thi matter out
as a literary prison would.
I thank you very much for vour kind
ness, and should be glad to see the poem
of which you speak.
I ought to state, perhaps, that I did
think that to many a young man the
picture could do nothing lut good . Tbw
I had with me while 1 was at work
or. it. Yours truly,
Tiios. Hovk.vde.v.
