That was an imperialistic, nationalistic age, spanning the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Big Stick diplomacy and the building of the Panama Canal. Those were watershed years for American foreign policy as it shifted from a primarily protectionist role in the Western Hemisphere to complex global alliances and involvements-the result of the new U.S. trade ventures. It was the Gilded Age when the great American fortunes in rails, metals, oil and stocks were amassed by such families as the Astors, Mellons, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Whitneys. With the resources set loose by industry and western expansion, these urban capitalists reshaped the nation's economic and cultural life. In the vanguard of the cultural change were artists, architects, designers and draftsmen, who, between the 1870's and World War I, r e d e f i n e d A m e r i c a n aesthetic tastes and styles. Forgotten for the most part now, they guided and elevated the sights of the bill-paying monied class, many of them just one generation removed from overalls and the shovel. The legacy from these artists was a "renaissance" in culture, ranging from new museums of fine art to ubiquitous street sculpture that symbolized civic virtue and enterprise. They believed that America was the natural heir to the great European traditions-- particularly that of tne Italian Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries-and felt that the Renaissance creative spirit was being born again in the United States. Absorbing all the best from the past, the thinking went, American art would be great because it advanced the torch of traditional culture. "The goal of this group was to place American art in the long tradition of art and culture and to establish critical standards for American works of art," says Richard N. Murray. Murray, director of the Birmingham Museum of Art, was formerly with the Smithsonian's National Collection of Fine Arts, where he collaborated on an exhibition about the period. What exactly did this American Renaissance produce? What survives? The list is long and diverse- though not always ap­ preciated by many present- day Americans who regard the period's highly or­ namented architecture and art as bizarre relics. But many of the nation's cultural institutions and their first buildings were created then: libraries, museums and universities, among them the boston Public Library and the Library of Congress, both elaborate, ornate structures rich in historical references and lavish with murals and sculpture. .City planning and slum clearance got under way at Washington, D.C.'s National Mall area, Chicago's Lake Front and in San Francisco. Architecture schools were formed, the first at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1865. Urban parks were desigend. Elaborate, domed state capitol buildings went up. And memorials marking any number of occasions, from the rising sun to Abraham Lincoln's achievements, were constructed. There was much more. The artists designed the currency of capitalism-gold pieces, the hundred dollar bill, the Lincoln penny, the Liberty dime and the Buffalo nickel. And urban palaces and summer "cottages" in an eclectic range of European styles lined fashionable avenues and resort drives. These were filled with magnificent f u r n i t u r e , p a i n t i n g s , sculpture and decorative arts shipped to America from abroad. The search for new acquisitions apparently knew few bounds. When reproached for importing so many art treasures to decorate homes he designed, the architect Stanford White stated: "In the past, dominant nations had always plundered the works of their predecessors ...America was taking a leading place among nations and had, therefore, the right to obtain art wherever she could." Like its rise to power, the United States cultural growth took about a century to reach its stride. "Right after the Revolution, many felt the country would take a lead in the arts since it was on the way politically," Larzer Ziff, professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, recently told a Smithsonian Resident Associates seminar on the era. "But Charles Willson Peale had to convert his museum into a barn for curiosities, and others recycled theaters into penny arcades for melodrama performances. People simply distrusted the arts." By 1876, at the nation's Centennial celebration in Philadelphia, an exhibition of American art drew an enthusiastic crowd. Yet the exhibit revealed that con­ temporary U.S. art lacked variety (most paintings were portraits or land­ scapes) and that many American artists had in­ sufficient professional training. The exposition led to the establishment of more art schools where the traditions of art could be taught and passed on. At the same time, young painters and scuptors were returning in the 1870s and '80s from studies at Euopean centers. "Artists were becoming professional in the sense of learning and training," Dr. Joshua C. Taylor, director of the Smithsonian's National Collection of Fine Arts, says. "The bankers, lawyers and businessmen could relate to this-knowledge during the American Renaissance was the key, but money turned the lock." Besides looking to Europe for a sense of tradition, the artists reached into the past of America itself. At the 1876 fair, 18th-century portraits and other early paintings, furniture and art objects were displayed with pride. In fact, although Americans admired the products and themes of Europe's culture, they were ambivalent about embracing Europe totally, an attitude summed up by one leading renaissance figure, muralist John La Farge. "We are not as they are-fixed in some tradition, and we can go where we choose."

Store Price symbol few America of the period-one that would ex­ press the idea of a youthful, moral and energetic nation- the artist fashioned the American Virgin. She could be found at all levels of the renaissance culture, from the Swift Packing Com­ pany's trade symbols to the languishing, drifting figures (usually drawn with wings) of the highest art. The appearance of the White House also kept pace with current trends, which shifted from an historically eclectic look in the 1870s and '80s to scholarly correctness beginning in the 1890s. At 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the jeweler, had installed stained glass decorations and tile floors for Chester Arthur in 1882. At Teddy Roosevelt's insistence 20 years later, this was all ripped out to recreate the neo-classical interiors of the original architecture. But in sheer size and elaborateness, the Library of Congress overwhelmed the other "renaissance" buildings. It was-is-truly grand. High above the heads of mortal readers is a mural that sums up the way Americans were thinking about their role as inheritors of the past. "Progress of Civilization" begins with Egypt and its contribution to writing and progresses through 10 figures-all winged-representing the influences of Greece, Home and on through France. The last figure, the United States, is the inheritor of the entire body of learning of the West. Though the library and other structures endure, the renaissance concept itself faded with the approach of World War I. Because of its great expense alone, so elaborate an expression could not have survived, particularly in today's economically troubled times. More destructive, however, was its focus on the past and lack of accord with a society fascinated by technology and the promise of modernism. And yet, as historians now point out, the elegant survivors of the "American Renaissance" are finding a new ap­ preciation, admired for their craftsmanship, variety and visual richness.
