MARSHALL FIELD AND CoMPANY

Foreword THIS foreword is to introduce to the visitor the first annual

exhibition by the Chicago Society of Artists. The works in the exhibition are all by men and women who, at the present time, are active members of the Chicago Society of Artists; many of them are natives of this city, having re-ceived their first art training in Chicago schools, and having since been identified with Chicago art activities . Many are also exhibitors in national and foreign exhibitions .

It is not the purpose of this foreword to expound the peculiar theories or principles of any school; the exhibition in this respect speaks for itself, in the diverse tendencies here represented. It is deemed worth while, however, to give expression to the fact that the Chicago public in viewing this exhibition has before it works by Chicago artists, work-ing not as a group or school but as members of a society of artists free to express themselves in any art view point. It is interesting to note that these works are Chicago products and are by members of, perhaps, Chicago's oldest art society.

There is an element of Chicago pride (a pride that can justly be shared by the public) in holding the present exhibi-tion. This lies in the fact that the members of this Society, holding a variety of views and pursuing various. tendencies, find it possible to work in harmony for a common good .

The examples are chosen and presented by a strictly pro-fessional committee elected in and by the Society. In selecting the paintings, sculpture, drawings, etchings and so forth , no

consideration has interested the committee save artistic merit . No thought of trying to please the public has been enter-tained, the committee holding that the public will easily recognize merit where merit appears. To have the artist ex-pose to the public his unmodified thought, with confidence in the viewer's ability to receive it fully-that is the ideal the Chicago Society of Artists now hopes to attain.

That Chicago citizens are fully capable of appreciating any good that the artist can offer without demanding either precedent or apology, has been demonstrated in many fields of art endeavor. If this conviction of the Chicago Society of Artists has any basis in truth it will be possible to see the important art history of Chicago written · in these annual exhibitions.
