THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIO
7
Before the organization of the society the
Art Institute possessed very few works
really representative of American painting
and sculpture, and had but small funds
with which to buy more.
The plan of the society has met with
much favor and its members now number
one hundred and sixty-three. Each sub-
scriber signs a pledge of intention to give
one thousand dollars in instalments of two
hundred dollars each year. The meeting
for organization was held in the Hutchin-
son Gallery of the Art Institute, June 16,
1910. During the three years of its exist-
ence thirty-five paintings and two pieces of
sculpture were presented to the Art Insti-
tute. Twenty of these were selected from
exhibitions of American art held in the Art
Institute during 1910, 1911 and 1912.
This year the Society also presented to the
Art Institute the series of thirty litho-
graphs and etchings of the Panama.Canal,
by Joseph Pennell.

LOUIS
The City Art Museum, St. Louis, re-
cently held an attractive exhibition of
some twenty paintings by the late William
Keith. A graver in early life, he turned to
painting and studied in Munich and Dus-
seldorf, and returning to the West lived at
Berkeley. He painted the Pacific country,
mountains and coast from Alaska to the
far South. Like Innes, he looked for in-
spiration to the Barbizon School, and his
canvases reveal largely the influence of
Rousseau, Dupre and Diaz in his handling
of Californian forest scenes. The Novem-
ber number of The International
Studio, 1907, contains a well-illustrated
article. With George Innes, he shares
the credit of bringing into American art the
freer artistic spirit, deeper feelings and
more imaginative expression of the “1830
men.”
A NOTE ON MR. ROBERT I.
AITKEN, A.N.A.
In the forthcoming Panama-Pacific
Exposition of 1915, Mr. Aitken will be
represented more than adequately with
four enormous allegorical figures, some
eighteen feet in length, to be placed in the
Court of Honor, a wonderful architectural
arrangement evolved by McKim, Mead &
White. They represent the four elements
Fire, Air, Earth and Water, and Mr.
Aitken has succeeded in presenting these
themes in an unmistakable manner, with
fine poetic intuition. All are recumbent
figures which, in their appropriate environ-
ment, take on the nature almost of groups,
conceptions that hold the spectator pro-
foundly interested and really moved.
While Mr. Aitken knows his trade thor-
oughly, being a most competent draughts-
man—and, indeed, a painter of unusual
merit as well as sculptor—and has had the
most serious training, he is in no sense
obsessed with the academic, securing in-
variably a breadth of treatment with a
certain personal significance to his crea-
tions that stamp them immediately. As
vice-president of the Architectural League
of New York he has been a factor in shap-
ing the influence of that distinguished
society for some time and in arranging its
exhibitions.
