38 WINNETKA TALK April 21, 1928 North Shore Art League Exhibit Continues Another Week Noted Speakers Ate Banquet Guests of North Shore Artists BY ELIZABETH NEIDLINGER James Cady Ewell, president of the North Shore Art league, was a de- lightful master of ceremonies at the annual banquet held April 13, at the Orrington hotel. He himself gave a short talk, telling of the tolerance and broad vision of this organization that encourages all kinds of art, "good and bad." He expressed his appreciation for the help given him during the past year by Mrs. J. W. F. Davies, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ullrich, Mrs. Felix Bol- denweck, and Mrs. Marguerite Cal- kins Taylor. Miss Lena Macauley was the first speaker introduced by Mr. Ewell. She told of a southern trip on which, everywhere she went, she found sketchers and painters and poets at work, which indicated to her that we are seeking the spiritual and the beautiful, not just the material things of life. When we indulge in art, we are, she said, seeking to escape from stern reality. Following Miss Macauley's talk, Mrs. Davies made a motion that Ru- dolph Ingerle be made an honorary member of the league for life. The motion was passed enthusiastically by all the members, and, in a few words, Mr. Ingerle expressed his appreciation. Mrs. James IL. Lardner, president of the Evanston University guild, under whose auspices the pictures are hung at the Orrington, told of the great honor the guild feels has been con- ferred upon it by having the North Shore league exhibit with it. Dudley Crafts Watson, introduced by Mr. Ewell as "a miracle man," em- phasized the great responsibility of the members of the league and spoke at some length of the Chicago World's Fair, to be held five years hence. At this time, he said, the north shore will be one of the chief show places, and all the north shore people will be hosts to the millions of visitors. Percy Eckhart, Lionel Robertson and Frank Peyraud all gave very brief talks before Mr. Ewell introduced the main speaker, S. J. Duncan-Clark, of Wilmette. In an amusing but impres- sive manner, he discussed the mysteries of artists. Artists, he pointed out, have a different conception than a layman of the meaning of such words as "values," "patterns," and "centers of interest." Then, too, he said, he has found an artist has an extraordin- ary sensitivity, he "feels his way to truth and beauty." After noticing the mysteries of artists, Mr. Clark decided to enter the art world, and began with an attempt at painting a tree. Then, he said, he realized how many branches a tree has, and how desirable it is to eliminate unessential details. Mr. Clark told of his awakening to color and his subsequent awareness of its presence everywhere. Then he penetrated another mystery of art--he "felt a line!" The study of art, he found, made the work of artists more interesting and more beautiful to him, and he was able to analyze his reasons for liking a thing. He discovered a new point of view from which to regard a picture-- the artist's purpose in the picture. "To have a clear aim in what you are trying to do, that is the great thing," said Mr. Clark. "Every artist knows he can- not reproduce nature; he must attempt to interpret it." Mr. Clark concluded his talk by pointing out that "An organization such as the North Shore Art league, that is helping people to see, and help- ing people to feel, is doing a tremen- dous work for the happiness of men and women everywhere."
