THE STORY OF THE ART OF THE WORLD

the embellishment of these buildings, for the decoration of parks, for memorials, for churches, and for private dwellings. The leading sculptors of America have set high ideals for the nation and for the nation's artists to follow. There is every indication that the sculpture of the United States will in the near future be of exceptional brilliance.

Architecture. It may be frankly admitted that there is no national school of architecture in America as yet. In the formative period by the colonizing peoples of so many different countries-English, French, Dutch, Swedes, and Spanish-it was inevitable that each should build on the general principles of his home styles modified by the necessities and limitations by which he was confronted in his new home. Accordingly the older buildings in different parts of the country are found to consist of structures in the style of one or other of the countries mentioned. Spain is represented by the Cathedral of St. Augustine, the fort now called Marion in Florida, the Missions of California and southwestern America. France has the Ursuline Convent or Bishop's Palace at New Orleans. The Dutch and Swedes built on the Hudson and Delaware where remain the Van Cortlandt manor on the Hudson (1681), the Slip residence at Bergen Heights, New Jersey (1666), the City Hall at Yonkers which is a part of the old Philipse manor built in 1682, Sleepy Hollow church built in 1699, and the old Swedes churches at Wilmington (1699) and Philadelphia (1700).

The noteworthy buildings of the early republican days include the Capitol at Washington, the State House of Boston, and the University of Virginia. In the period following the erection and completion of this class of buildings there is little anywhere in the country to elicit the admiration or interest from an architectural point of view. Along with the great interest aroused in all art matters in 1876, many young architects went abroad and took up the study of architecture in a methodical and serious way. Such men as H. H. Richardson and Hunt brought home with them both knowledge and enthusiasm, which enabled them to produce some superior work of a style that exercised a lasting effect upon the architectural improvement of the country. This work was taken up

and rapidly advanced by the efforts of such architects as McKim, White, Coolidge, Meade, Burnham, Huston, Hardenbergh, Flagg, Heins, Duncan, Green, Wicks, and others who have paved the way for the coöperation of architects and sculptors in the adornment of the cities of the country upon lines of architecture that present few of the incongruities which have in the past marred the appearance of many of the most conspicuous buildings and thereby seriously reflected upon the national taste. For in this respect a building differs from a painting or any small work of art in that the building is always conspicuous, is lasting, and stands as a permanent demonstration of the taste of the builder, or of those who sanction or admire its style. In the education of a nation in art it would appear that a greater responsibility rests upon the architect than upon his fellows in other departments of art, for the smaller works, if bad, may be hidden, while a large, public building stands either as a model to be followed or as an example of that which should be avoided. In the community of enlightened people, it may be that many of the offenses against all of the canons of art and the buildings that from an architectural point of view are little short of monstrosities, may have more effective use in molding the public taste than insipid, colorless styles that neither please nor offend.

The general tendency in American architecture of to-day is toward the French Renaissance, and this is freely followed in the erection of the more costly residences and hotels. Church architecture favors the Gothic and Romanesque, though are not wanting evidences of a leaning toward the classical. Possibly the only direction in which the United States may be said to have evolved a purely national characteristic is in the modern office or commercial building, familiarly known as the skyscraper." While the earlier types of this structure were severely plain and designed wholly to meet the needs, there has developed a style of adornment that is effective in removing the unsightly appearance of the great engineering work. The most notable addition is the tower which in many cases rises to astonishing heights, exciting wonder at the engineering skill that has made such structures possible and greatly improving the skyline.
