Excerpt from A Painter's Progress; Being a Partial Survey Along the Pathway of Art in America and Europe With Sundry Examples and Precepts Culled From Personal Encounter With Existing Conditions and Reference to the Careers of Many Artists Both Ancient and Modern, 191
The papers herewith printed formed the fifth of the series of lectures given under the Scammon Foundation before the students and members of the Art Institute of Chicago. By bequest of Mrs. Maria Sheldon Scammon, the Scammon Lectures were established on a permanent basis in 1901 in memory of Mr. John Young Scammon, a former prominent citizen of Chicago. The will prescribes that these lectures shall be on "the history, theory, and practice of the fine arts (meaning thereby, the graphic and plastic arts), by persons of distinction or authority on the subject of which they lecture."
As here presented, these lectures have been revised as little as is consistent with the demands of formal publication, from a desire to retain as nearly as possible their character of familiar talks by an elder to a group of younger artists.
