V Xi ception of a painter was to be an historian in paint and his works will illustrate his ideas. Among his most famous are HThe Battle of Bunker Hilln, HSurrender of Cornwallisn, and the HDeath of Montgomery.n It has been said that not a history book would be complete without Trumbull's paintings on the Revolutionary War. In the story of American landscape painting we meet George Inness, who was a pathfinder whose originality and zeal for nature bIazgd a trail that has led on to the present notable expan- sion of American landscape painting Inne s tried his hand at engraving, for at that time it the one branch of art that se med most likely to yield a com fortable livelihood But it proved of to exacting a nature for him and becau e he wanted to continue his artistic tendencie sought French abroad French had to diverge from in the rest of his career and C6 cause he applied his owr public reoo, him at l and aim of I are be t undfr stood from his own writings In one place he says, HThe puroose of the painter simply to produce in which a scene h made upon him A work of art does not instruction fror painter here and It was from tnis influence th t h ttributes nition came The spirit ness' work does not appeal to the moral sense I s air is not o instruct, not to edify, but to awaken an emotion As we climb another rung N ' sl nh 'Ku ' 1' A -.1 -.

One item of interest in his early manhood is recounted when Whistler entered West Point He changed his mid dle name from Abbot to Mc- Neill, which was his moth- er maiden because he fear- ed that the initials J A W combined with his re dy ard often biting speech, would gain for h rever live tine a e distasteful because of tere t ir im a nickname he down The rou t Toint seemed to Whistler and his lack of in studies except drawing he was discharged In reviewing the art of Whistler we can easily re cognize that he worked in many mediums and excelled in all His etching rank t t Rembr ndt's his l nd cape paintings are unique, and his portraits .mong them 'Whistlers Moth er , and HMlSS Alexand rank with the best por trai s by the old m sters It is ap ropriate therefore he should receive his greatest recognition from the country that gave him after long indifference is now proul to cl im and hon or him Shortly after the era of Whistler the American pub '. -. ,f I . 0 I a ' . fs ' ' s ' , , . .
