A Chicago Critic 'y
On Our Art .Exhibit : '
In tha July iaaue of the' Fin Arts
Journal Mra. Marian White, who la ao
favorably remembered. In Portland from
har course of art lecture at th Chautau
qua assembly of 1904. complain bitterly
ef th treatment accorded western artists
at the Lewla and Clark exposition and
a on looks over-tha Hat and misaea
th name of Paxaon, Orothjean. Bock
well, C M. Kussell. B. Dolling. Gllletrap
and a score of other who are known
In the northwest and who are painting a
nation and a people more picturesque,
grander and mors beautiful than ' the ef
fete eaat aver dreamed of, one la forced
to believe that aa Mrs. White Intimates,
from the artist's standpoint tha exposi
tion has lost its significance. That we
may see our art exhibit aa others see It,
we give Mrs. White's editorial m fuU:
-"We learn- from tha column of - tha
various dailies - published In Portland,
Oregon, that Frank Vincent DuMond, tha
director of fine arte at the Portland ex
position, has 'succeeded , in ' assembling
examples loaned from private galleries
and which have never' been .offered
before to public view. Thia may be so.
Nevertheless... the titles of the paintings
and the name of tha painters have a
cheatnutty flavor to the crltlo of the mid
dle west. Mow to be honeat, the 'private
collectlona' mean really gatherings from
dealers', galleries and therefore coromla
aiona by way of sales to tba party or
parties Interested' in selling the same.
True, there are notable namea appearing
In , the list of painters and the uaual
'old masters' are alao on view. - There
are few American, too, mostly those
of. the eastern jury clique set,.th fadT
dlats and the eccentric.
' "Mr. ' DuMond should blush for very
sham at th fact that not a painter west
qf th Atlantic aeaboard ha any sort
of a decent representation and if he haa
the conscience of a man he should feel
very much out of place as director of the
One arts exhibit at an exposition of such
truly western significance as th Lewis
and Clark exposition. What Is there In
the art exhibit to compare with other
exhibit on th grounds portraying tha
evolution and progress of the particular
department which he represents T Liter
ally and truly, nothing.
"The directors of the exposition truated
to Mr. DuMond' a honeaty In hia manner
of gathering together painting that
ahould tell of the manner in which paint
ing and sculpture have developed' In the
great west, . Instead of thia he 1 never
troubled about the artiats of thia sec
tion of 'the country, but simply gathered
together thafwhlch has been seen over
and over again at annual as well as at
centennial 1 exhibitions far the past twe
decades. Of course it Is easy to gather
from dealer galleries and from the
other sources from which theae paintings
on exhibition cane. But It la unjust
to the artists- of this particular section
extending from Nebraska to the Rockies
and beyond the mountains to the Pacific
ocean,.' ' ... - .' .' -4
"Theae good and faithful worker a
men truly patriotic In their aentlment
even aa th Dutch. French and English
artists, whoa works have been selected
to grace thia exhibition have been Ig
nored. Does Mr. DuMond ever pause to
conalder that the Dutch, French and
longiisn art-wnicn ne conalder or Mini
veraai renown,' has been made so simply
because the artists elected to paint that
which was at hand, that which was es
sentially a part of their birthright T There
lajnpre of true art In' the greater weal
than were was in the whole ' of the
United etate In our centennial of 1S7S,
and the artists In that Beet Ion have
committed to canvaa with as clever a
technique and with more originality tha
beautiful landscape, the sturdy pioneers.
th aborigines, the animals peculiar to
the plains, as sver Frenchman. Dutch
man or Englishman portrayed tba people
ana period in which he lived.
We may argue that It Is not the
province of art to meddle with history.
True; yet every figure, whether It be
placed In landscape or In an Interior, or
If it be but a portrait, Is more or lees
significant of the people and -Of the
period ln .whlcfcthe painter wrought.
Mr. DuMtond In taking this collection
to the Lewi and Clark expoaltloa evi
dently did not know or did not bear In
mind that he waa taking 'coals to New
castle In other words, that these paint
ings, or1 rather th schools which theae
particular work represent, were not al
together unwritten letter to the peo
ple or Portland and the whole com
munity comprising the great west. Like
so many of tbe eastern people, he made
the mistake of supposing that he was
going among people who were little bet
ter than the Indians themselves. -
"While we would not belittle the fact
that the collection taken to Portland
may be uaeful to thoae who never had
opportunity to study from th actual
work of art th work of th maaters
themaelvea, yet thousanda of persona
attandtng this particular exhibition wilt
consist largely of the much traveled
portion, thoae who have been to Europe,
to the art center of th United States,
to tha Chicago exposition of J89S, and
later to Bt. Louis, and. that thesa, as
well as those who have never enjoyed
Ilk advantage, would have been better
pleaaed to have had at leaat one gallery
devoted to th work of th artists of
th greater west.
"Does Mr. DuMond realise. that the
connoisseurs - from Europe - and from
the- AUantio seaboard are the greatest
patron of th artist of th greater
westr Does n know that many of their
work hang In Important collection in
Great Britain, In France, and in Ger
many T ' Doe h also know-that theae
selfsame artists never send their works
to the various exhibitions because they
have ru ohance with the Jurle of the
east. They know and feel that thev
are not understood, but they surely hafl
rigni 10 iei mai in xneir own partic
ular expoaltlon they should have repr.
aentatlon. -. ' -
"Th United States'la so vast a terri
tory that each state Is 'ttountry. a
community of self-governed people in
itseir, ana this art exhibit la like on
given In Franc with th French rfrtlsts
left out,' or on given In Holland, or In

State Commissioners ' -Go
on a Pleasant Picnic .
When ' the "story of the Lewis and
Clark exposition 1 told H wiir not be
alone the wining, and dining and ban
queting that will teach the worjd of
Oregon hospitality, but tba many little
unrecorded attentions, the good. Jolly
times that -wilt have gone very ac:Jn
deed to make the lmpreaslon. and will
be remembered longer perhapa than the
stately affairs. This waa exemplified
last Bunday .when Mra. Edyth Toiler
Weatherred conducted a party of 40 to
Chautauqua and . with several other
Portland hostesses spread them "a feaat
for the god's." - Picnic platee and paper
napkins, coffee dipped - from a tin
bucket, Chautauqua benches to alt upon,
a table spread under a huge awning and
piled high with everything known ' to
plcnlo culinary .art, and 40 gathered
around lt who had come from' all sec
tions of th .United fltatea, formed the
Jollleat -erowd -that ha mad -the old
woods ring in many a day.
The plcno was given In honor of sev
eral of the state commissioners and
their Wilvee. none of whom had been on
the Chautauqua grounds before, but
who pronounced them th moat beauti
ful they had ever seen.
. Immediately after th sermon in the
afternoon' the party repaired to the do
mestic science tent where the table was
set; the meat notable feature on It was
a groat pyramid f magnificent fruit
brought by Mr. Wright, atst commis
