Dunbar, Esq., Milwaukee Xll THE HACKLEY ART GALLERY M uskegon is already famous throughout the country for her educational institutions. It possesses, without dispute, educational advan- tages second to no city of its size in the country. It has an excellent public school system in which not only are the common branches of learning taught with efficiency and thoroughness, but special attention is also paid to the higher and more aesthetic lines of study. Possessing special instruction in art in manual training, which is but applied art, it implants and develops a sense of the beautiful and carries the student gradually from the early childish concep- tion of art to a higher realization of the true meaning of the art of living. There is now established an art gallery with a comprehensive collection of universal art which tends to develop further their knowledge and skill. All of this has been made possible by the public spirit manifested by the late Charles H. Hackley, to whom we owe so much. xiii THE ART OF LIVING T here is, in course of evolution throughout the world, a clearer understanding of what constitutes the ideal way of living. The day is coming when art shall permeate and regulate our entire life, our every action, when the art of living shall be understood, not by the privileged few, but by all — when conditions shall no longer create selfishness, the direct cause of all crime and ugliness — when we shall labor, not merely to become wealthier than our neighbors, but to help our neighbors, thereby transforming labor into pleasure and all objects and events of our daily life into works of art. This is not a wild propheey, for there are tens of thou- sands working unselfishly in the field of humanity. Among these are scientists and doctors throughout the world, devot- ing their lives to this ideal end and making experiments which often eulminate in the contraction of terrible diseases. They are not working for monetary gain, neither do they seek for publie applause. They are giving, not reeeiving, in the ordinary sense, yet the satisfaetion of bringing joy and happiness to others is the only perfect gift. XIV THE ART OF LIVING Art is Life’s lubricant, eliminating the harshness and beautifying everything. When we understand what really constitutes the joy of living, then living will become an art; for art can be in everything — in the way we talk and in the way we walk, in our every act. Restraint, the significant trait of a well-bred person, the modulated voice, and the faculty for doing the right thing gracefully, are certainly arts in the highest sense. In Europe the art of living has not developed so much in the cities as in the country. In spite of the fact that facilities for acquiring knowledge are so much greater in the large towns, through the presence of public galleries and art schools, social life has reached a more perfect development in the country. This is especially true of Britain. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries English country homes, often architecturally beautiful, contained little art within, and even less without, as far as the grounds were concerned. By the beginning of the eighteenth century these condi- tions were changed. This was due to the prosperity of the country which was brought about by an improved system ot agriculture introduced into England in the early part of the eighteenth century. The country squires and large land owners became wealthy and spent their money on improv- ing their estates. Works of art were imported from Holland and Italy, and placed on their walls. The demand for portraits created an important group of portrait painters, namely: Reynolds, Gainsborough, Rae- XV THE ART OF LIVING burn, Hoppner, Romney, and Lawrence; and, later still, the demand for art produced Turner, Constable, Bonington, and Morland. English landscape gardening, an art never adequately appreciated, arose in response to the desire for a more satisfying environment. This was merely a repetition of what has often happened in the history of art. In Holland, in the seventeenth century, one of the greatest art periods of the world followed commercial prosperity. In north Britain we find another example. Edinburgh was always considered in Scotland the seat of art and learn- ing. In trade and commerce, in all that made for business supremacy, Glasgow led. The capital was willing to con- cede this honor to Glasgow providing that she retain the title of the intellectual center. Just what do we find? With the increased prosperity of the last twenty years, one of the strongest groups of artists which Great Britain has produced has arisen in Glasgow; and now, not only has Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, been superceded artistically by Glasgow,, but educationally as well. In America we find ourselves exceptionally fortunate. We have not only the capacity for appreciating the best in everything and the money to secure this best, but we are producing the best also, not in the creation of a national art alone, but an international art, which is more important. We have such men as William K. Bixby, William T. Evans, C. L. Freer, Charles L. Hutchinson, Edward Drummond xvi THE ART OF LIVING Libbey and Martin A. Ryerson, who are pointing the way and spending their money and devoting their time and energy to the great cause. No country in the history of art has made the progress of America, both in active appreciation and in production. In America the art of living is naturally developing first in the cities. The plans of many of our cities are examples to Europe. We have parks, opera houses, and streets, planned with an eye to the beautiful; and art galleries, art schools, artists, and lectures to train the public to appre- ciate them. It is in the air ; the past is admirable, the pres- ent is assured, a brilliant future without parallel is certain.

An original painter of the landscape, with a remarkable color sense, who strug- gled years for recognition, and eventually, because of the hardships and privations he endured, was incapacitated for work of any kind. Since his unfortunate withdrawal from the world, and since an exhibition of his work in 1902 in New York, public appreciation has been more just. He is now considered among the leading men of the tonal school, his pictures being in many famous collections. He is still living, although in strict confinement. 5 ECSTASY Permanent collection of the Hackley Art Gallery. 6 AUTUMN— FOOL IN THE WOODS Lent by Waldon Shaw, Esq., Chicago.

Being discharged from the Military Academy at West Point, he went to Paris and entered the studio of Charles Gabriel Gleyre, where Degas, Bracquemond, and Fantin-Latour were his favorite companions. He was a member of the Societe Nationale des Artistes Francais; hon- orary member of the Royal Academy of St. Luke, Rome; Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy ; honorary member of the Royal Academy, Bavaria; chevalier of the order of St. Michael; and honorary member of the Royal Academy, Dresden; but most unjustly, he was never elected to the Royal Academy of London. It was reserved for the French to first recognize his unusual ability, and that gov- ernment subsequently purchased his masterpiece, a portrait of his mother, for the Luxembourg Museum. In London, he painted many distinguished men and women and made composition pictures of the highest order, which today com- mand almost fabulous prices. As an etcher, he was the greatest since Rembrant, having been equalled by no one of his generation. He was the inspiration of what is known as the Glasgow school of painters, and no man has had such a widespread influence on his contemporaries. 65 MAUD Lent by R. R.

He received no training, and was uninfluenced by the academical Caraccis. He painted what was before his eyes, even the common objects, fruits and vegetables, still life, and eountry people. His color was often violent, but he always painted with sincerity. I^ater he painted saered pietures but in such an unconven- tional way as to provoke the anger of the church. He came when an innovation was most needed, and his originality and avoidance of affectation influenced many of his eontem- porary painters, produeing the Spaniard Ribera, and influ- encing Velasquez and many others. 80 THE HOLY FAMILY Lent by Raymond Wyer, Esq. .TEAN CHARLES CAZIN Born at Samer (Pas de Calais), Franee, May, 1840.

He was apprenticed at an early age to a silver plate engraver, and when twenty-three years old set up in busi- ness on his own account. Among other works of the kind he engraved twelve plates for Butler’s “Hudibras. ” He entered the school of Sir James Thornhill, Sergeant-painter to the King, whose daughter he married in 1729. The work which first established his fame was the series of the “Har- lot’s Progress,” which was immediately followed by the “Rake’s Progress,” now in the Soane Museum. These works are similar in scope and design to the “Marriage a la Mode” series purchased from the Angerstein collection by the National Gallery, London, 1824. The engravings made by Hogarth from these pictures brought him both money and fame. 120 PORTRAIT OF ANNE, VISCOUNTESS IRWIN Permanent collection of the Hackley Art Gallery. 84 PORTRAIT OF SIR WILLIAM LYNCH, K.
