BE are | i October 22, 1927 WINNETKA TALK AMERICA NOW TRAINS OWN GREAT ARTIST Dudley Crafts Watson Delights North Shore Art Patrons at Second Lecture A delighted audience, as large and interested as the one at the first of Dudley Crafts Watson's series of lec- tures, greeted Mr. Watson at his lec- ture on American artists, given Mon- day evening at Community House. These lectures are given Monday eve- nings under the auspices of the North Shore Art league. Farly in his talk, Mr. Watson paid tribute to Lorado Taft, saying that he has done something for American art that will be remembered for gene- rations. Mr. Taft is one of our few real sculptors--America has only 600 sculptors to more than 5,000 registered professional painters, contrary to the situation in ancient Greece, Rome, and to the Gothic era. However, even though sculpture is the slowest art to develop here, still, Mr. Watson pointed out, the American people are sensitive to the need of the Arts. European training used to be con- sidered necessary to develop a good artist, but this idea is no longer preva- lent. Mr. Watson cited George Bel- lows as an outstanding refutation of this. He wished to be thoroughly American and received all his training in this country. Must Be Dead to Be Alive Another old belief, one that still holds good is: "An artist has to be really dead before he is alive. Time alone can prove the worth of a work of art." Mr. Watson, in speaking of the won- derful development of art activity in Chicago and its vicinity, mentioned, | | among the outstanding artists, Rudolph Allen Philbrick, and James | Cady Ewell, all of whom are members | of the North Shore Art league. Four men, recognized the world over as great in the field of American painting, received Mr. Watson's consi- deration next. The first of these was James McNeil Whistler, whose "Mother" painting has won a prominent place in the Louvre. where a work is not hung before its author has been dead ten years. Whist- ler's work shows effortless mastery. "The Moonrise over Southampton Harbor" is a good example of the mas- tery of art, which, Mr. Watson said, "is "The maximum of effect produced with the maximum of effort. Whistler," he continued, "is quite restful--there is verv little of the dynamic in him. In addition to his pictures, Whistler is known for having written three or four treatises on art." | Ingerle, Lauds Marine Painter The second of Mr. Watson's group was Winslow Homer, the master mar rine painter. He did his work along Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and La- brador, where can be seen fogs and rough seas combined. Fourth in the group came John Sin- ger Sargent, who is especially noted for his portraits of society women. A whole wing of Tait gallery, in London is devoted to his paintings. One of his greatest, "Carmencita," hangs in the Luxembourg galleries. The last of the artists to receive Mr. Watson's particular consideration was George Innis, whose work portrays man's contact with inanimate nature. Innis, said Mr. Watson, had a great love for the out-of-doors. Mr. Watson concluded his lecture with examples of the work of contem- porary artists, showing slides of one or two pictures by each artist, and relat- ing many humorous anecdotes about the artists. The landscapes, he pointed - out, were effected by German and French influences, while the portraits showed English influence. Discusses Contemporaries Among these contemporary artists discussed by Mr. Waton were: Edwin Blashfield, Abbott Thayer, Frank Du- vonnek, William Chase, Ralph Clark- son of Chicago, Robert Henri, Warren Davis, Canute Heldner of Duluth, Vic- tor Higgins, Charles Francis Brown, Mrs. Greenman Lionel Walden, and a | The snowscape ana | number of others. marine paintings are outstanding suc cesses among the works of these mod- ern painters, said Mr. Watson.
