.LECIURED ON
AMERICAN ART
PRESIDENT WELD MAKES su-
PERI PRESENTATION OF HIS.
TORY AND SIGNIFICANCE, AND
DOMINANT TREND OF AMERI-
CAN ART.

"A superb presentation of American
Paintings, their history and signih-
canoe, together with the dominant
trend of American art development,
was that given by President Weld dur
ing the chapel hour, at the normal on
Saturday, when he gave the lecture Of
the American Federation OF Arts be-
fore full house OF interested people
His fine gift of analysis, together with
bis penetrating powers of vocal ex-
preston, lent an unfiagginK interest
to the informing words Of the lecture,
which reviewed American painting
from it's ''mendicant''' days, when 1t
eked out slender native subsistence,
or sought its patronage abroad, to the
newer day OF Americas awakening,
when both by the support of her art
lists and by the appreciation of her ma :
tive paintings she has redeemed her
earlier neglect. The days of foreign
preference were soon succeeded by a
youthful are Of our own, free from for
eign imitation. This was instituted
chiefly by BENJAMIN West, whose long
list OF proteges and disciples-John
Singleton Copley Charles Wilson, Gil
bert Stuart, and John TrumbulI-help-
ed to establish a brotherhood Of art in
America, devoted to native themes and
exciting patriotic admiration. Fol-
lowing Vests period of dominance
fame a wider development, marked i'm
the south by the work of washington
Allston, and in the north by that of
Sully and Jarvis. S. F. b. Morse the
inventor Of the telegraph, belongs to
this epoch, and narrowly escaped being
among the stars of our national con-
stellation. Chester Harding, whose
portrait of Randolph was shown. was
also OF this period.
Among the landscape artists, the
names OF s. Durand, of George Innes,
the father of American landscape
painterr,interpreter of sunshine, and Of
Alexander Wyant, interpreter of gray
days and quiet twiIights, together with
Homer Martin, the painter OF rugged
and virile subjects, were conspicuous.
ID. w. Tryon and j. Francis Murphy
brought new life and fresh ideals into
American landscape painting, while
Winslow Homer's High Cliffe, Coast
of Maine" marks high water mark
in creative excellence. Horatio Walker
painted convincing pictures OF humblc

American artists who found their
best patronage abroad were headed by

at home, however, are not wanting.
