Ends Art Talks Francis Marion Arnold gave the last of his pertinent talks on art before members of the \Voman's club of Wilmette on Monday afternoon. Before the Renais'sance, which was the rebirth of Greek learning, Mr. Arnold pointed out that there were two civilizations, both of which had · gone to extremes. The pagans had J)Ut too much stress on the physical life, and the Christians stressed the spirit. Because neither thoroughly understood the subject, each went to excess. The Henai ssa nce came to restore balance. It began to be . recognized that man is 'a spiritual being but that lte had to use the physical body to manifest himself. Artists and phil~) sophers investigated this world in;tead of the next one, and found that .t was beautiful, and that man was the .nost beautiful object in it. Saint Francis brought back the element of love to the world by showing th :.tt monks could devote themselves to .heir brothers-and not wholly to .hemselves. Dante, with his vision of the other world, showed that nu·n :nake their own hell or heaven on earth. Boccaccio then emphasized th e 11 atural life of man in his writings; a nd Petrarch in his ideas of education told that everything learned was uf value. During the thirteenth century th~: s-rcat rdorms of law took place, and in 1400 gun powder was discovered, thl· printing press came into being, a new world was opened up with the dis covery of America, and the fall l f Constantinople put an end to the East's supremacy. All of these events cannut be overestimated in their import ance, said Mr. Arnold. The Rcnaissance dawned. givm~ man his proper place. He was a r ·al human being, beautiful and wise, and it was only natural that the art of the time should express this. Cimibue showed the f1rst new impulses, as did Giotto, and these two artists can be called the first of the modern artist:;. Pisano, in his scenes of the life of J csus, brought out in rhythmic line and figures "the holiness of loveliness." Donatello, one of the greatest ~~f Christian sculptors, said that Christians shou ld not copy Greek art but emulate it. He fell down by taking a very common type of peasant for models. The two arts, painting· anti sculpture, strove to outdo each other, but painting took the lead. Luca della Robbia almost succeeded in bringing sculpture to the top with his exquisite terra cotta statuary. Then followed a period that was frankly pagan, when Greek myths had penetrated Italian life. The keynote was struck by Sansovino with his statue of Bacchus. Michelangelo did not yield to the pagan influence, but clung to the Bible. Mr. Arnold spoke of him as being the second greatest sculptor that ever lived, Phideas having been the first. Cellini, who did Perseus with the head of Medusa, is the last of the great sculptors. Mr. Arnold traced Renaissance architecture briefly, giving some high lights of architecture from that time to this. In speaking of modern skyscrapers, such as the Tribune tower, he said such a building signifies a new social order. It reduces waste of time and money in the intercommunication of man to man, and is a city in miniature. A high building shows brotherhood in architecture, and is therefore truly .democratic.
