"America is too young to have an art of its own, for art develops slowly and it takes centuries to bring it into definite form so that it can be recog- nized from other arts. The art history of a race follows the life history of the people. - At first the people in Ameri- ca were busy digging in the soil and conquering hardships. They had re- ligion and shelter and food and safety from the Indians to think about, and they had no time for the fine arts." "Tater, when they had time for art,' said Mr. Eckhart--remarking that in this lecture he would consider only the art of painting--"they took what they could understand, and like children, they enjoyed pictures that represented things they knew." In explaining this statement Mr. Eckhart said that people learn first by seeing things--not from what they hear, smell or taste, but from what they see. "That is why movies are so popu- lar. They appeal to the lowest level of intelligence in the community. A story can be told through pictures more easily and quickly to the infantile intelligence than in any other way." "The first pictures in America, there- fore. were story-telling pictures, giving facts and episodes in the daily life of the people or scenes from their his- tory," said Mr. Eckhart. "These early manifestations of art in America were transplanted by the colonists from their homes in England and on the Continent, and in America we find at first an imitative art. There were landscape painters and portrait paint- ers who imitated the English and Dutch schools, but their work was very crude." The first art to develop in America with any indication of originality was the art of oratory, and this has had a direct influence on the art of painting." he continued. "The oratory would not be considered good today, It was too florid, but it- was American and its impression on landscape painters re- sulted in large, panoramic landscapes, overburdened with detail. They were extremely minute and photographic and contained everything that a man might see in a long lifetime out-of- doors." "Following the historic panoramic landscape in America there gradually developed the Hudson River school of painters," said Mr. Eckhart, who ex- plained that although these artists still represented American scenes, they be- gan to cut down from the panorama and give isolated bits which reflect back to the beholder the spirit of the landscape as it appeared to the artist. "In its later developments," he said, "America grew to be dependent on the rest of the world. There is no longer a development of isolated movements of art. What is done in Paris is im- mediately reflected in New York." Mr. Eckhart spoke briefly: of the revolt of the European artists against the perfection of painting as a repre- sentative art, and of the modern school of painters which has arisen from the ashes of the old--artists who say, "Subject matter, reality, are gone. We will express ourselves in our own way and vou can try to find out what we are saying." ' "Art has styles, and styles change," said Mr. Eckhart in conclusion. "Whether the new art will last or not no one can tell."
