Fine Arts Exhibit and Schedule of Awards
THE FINE ARTS EXHIBIT
By CHARLES M. KURTZ
Acting Secretary of the Executive Committee on Art
[Illustration]
Up to the time of the organization of the Committee on Art for the State
of New York, appointed by the New York State Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Commission, very little had been accomplished in the
direction of securing a collection of representative works by the
artists of New York for exhibition at the World's Fair at St. Louis.
Professor Ives, Chief of the Department of Art of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, and Assistant Chief Kurtz had visited New York at frequent
intervals (the first time in January, 1902), had aroused considerable
interest in the Exposition among the artists, and had secured the
appointment of Advisory Committees of Painters, Sculptors, Architects,
Mural Painters, Miniature Painters, Engravers, Wood Engravers,
Illustrators and Workers in the Applied Arts to look after the
organization of exhibits in their respective fields of expression and
the interests of the Department of Art of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in connection therewith.
WAYS AND MEANS
It was impossible, however, for the work to be carried on in an adequate
and worthy manner without State co-operation and assistance, and a
committee of artists, representing the various Advisory Committees,
appeared before the Commission, asked that a committee of artists
representing the State of New York be appointed to co-operate with the
Advisory Committees in the organization of a creditable art exhibit, and
that a suitable sum of money be appropriated from the funds placed at
the disposal of the Commission to defray the cost of organizing the
exhibit, packing, transporting it to and from St. Louis, and insuring it
while in transit; the Exposition authorities having agreed to pay the
cost of unpacking in St. Louis, installation, insurance while in the Art
Palace, and repacking and forwarding at the close of the Exposition.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON ART
After several meetings at the offices of the Commission in New York city
and a forceful presentation of the condition of affairs (and the urgent
necessity of action by the Commission) by Mr. Watrous, of the Artists'
Committee, the Commission formally resolved to appropriate the sum of
$10,000 for the purpose indicated, and appointed the following
"Executive Committee on Art for the State of New York" to assume general
direction of the work within the limits of the appropriation: Herbert
Adams (sculptor), Grosvenor Atterbury (architect), J. Carroll Beckwith
(painter), Francis C. Jones (painter), Louis Loeb (painter and
illustrator), Will H. Low (painter, illustrator and mural painter) and
Harry W. Watrous (painter). These men variously represented membership
in the National Academy of Design, the Society of American Artists, the
National Sculpture Society, the Society of Mural Painters, the American
Water Color Society, the Society of Illustrators, the New York Etching
Club, the American Fine Art Society, the American Institute of
Architects, the New York Architectural League, the Municipal Art Society
of New York and the Fine Arts Federation of New York. The Committee
formally organized by the election of Harry W. Watrous as Chairman.
Charles M. Kurtz, Assistant Chief of the Department of Art of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was appointed Acting Secretary without
salary.
At a general meeting of the members of all the Advisory Committees in
New York city, called by Chairman Watrous at the National Academy of
Design, for each committee representing a group of the classification a
chairman and a secretary was elected and general plans were formulated
for the carrying on of the work.
Thereafter, frequent meetings were held by the various committees, at
nearly all of which the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the
Acting Secretary were present and participated in the work.
CAREFUL SELECTION OF MATERIAL
The Juries of Selection for the different groups of the classification
of the Department of Art, constituted from the membership of the
Advisory Committees representing various sections of the country, met
and acted during the last two weeks of March, 1904, in the city of New
York, passing upon upwards of 4,000 works submitted for exhibition. Of
this assemblage of works a comparatively small number represented
artists of high reputation, and a small proportion was found to be of
sufficient merit worthily to represent the artists of the State. The
number of exhibits secured thus being very small, and many of the more
prominent artists not having submitted works, the different group juries
held meetings, prepared lists of representative works calculated to
reflect credit upon the State, and specifically invited artists and
owners to lend the same for the Exposition. By this means the larger and
better portion of the exhibit was secured.
The State of New York, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the artists
in general in the State of New York are under great obligations to the
members of these juries who so freely, unselfishly and devotedly gave
their valuable time and effort to the organization of the art exhibit
which represented so comprehensively the best achievement of New York
artists.
A REPRESENTATIVE EXHIBIT
Almost every New York painter of individuality and ability--in oil,
water-color and miniature work--was represented adequately and
creditably; the exhibit of sculpture was exceptionally fine; etching and
engraving were exemplified by the ablest exponents of these branches of
art, wood engraving by types of its highest expression; there was an
excellent collection of works from the leading American illustrators,
and noteworthy examples of the applied arts--of artistic handicrafts--by
New York art workers were well in evidence. In architecture, while the
exhibit was creditable, it might have been more comprehensive and
representative; and the same might be said of the exhibit of mural
painting. The latter, however, as readily may be understood, is
extremely difficult of representation at an exposition--most of its
examples having been executed in place, and only cartoons or photographs
of achieved works usually being available for exhibition.
