PHELAN DEFENDS LOCAL ARTISTS, Says the Goethe-Schiller Monument Should Be Made Here. . framed by us, solely for the promotion of art and to assist You in your undertaking, are sub- mitied for serious consideration. JAMES D. PHELAN, In reply to this letter Mr. Bundschu set forth what he considered strong reasons for the action of the Monument Associa- tion as follows: X MR. BUNDSCHU'S OPINION SaN FrANCIsco, Dec. 23, 1895. Jagies D. Phelan,. Exq.—DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 7th inst, came to hand. Please ac- t sincere acknowledgment for the interest youmanifest in our undertaking. Truly itis not iy intention to refute the reasonableand weli- { meant arguments advanced by you as cham- pion_of home art and original production. | Nevertheless under the existiug circumstances 1 cannot fully admit the force ot your allega- tions. The committee {s bound to apply the funds thus far collected to the erection of a copy of he Rietschel statue. *“In view of the iact” that the funds for this_primary condition are inadequate you counsel £ more ¢conomic mon- ument, 1o bé made by a_California artist and irom Californin material. From your point of view this proposition may appear quite ac- ceotable, but I am convinced that the altera- tion therein involved would not be to the taste The Correspondence That Passed Between the Two Presi- dents. ; Worid Not | oL le orietnators of our undertaking, and i ia i ou!

Bundschu; president - of . .the | Monument Association, was wrapped up in the 1dea of a reproduction. of the | St Rietschel work, but local sculptors and artists raised vigorous protest against sending money to Germany that had been:| raised’in San Francisco, and especially for the purpose of taking a cast of a monu- | ment over fifty years old, notwithstanding the fact that it was made by a celebrated | sculptor. Mr. Dobbertin, inan interview, concisely set forth certain reasons why local artists should be encouraged, with the result that his stand awakened the Art Association and President Phelan to action, which bids fair fo bring about dif- | jerent afrangements and more satisfac- tory plans all around. So far the discussion has been confined to the columns of the California Demo- | krat, but the jetters have been translated | jor use in 1nE Carr. The first letter was written by President Bundschu to Mr. Phelan ang touched upon the inseificiency of the funds, together with other matter perteining to.the proposed reproduction of the Rietschel monument at Weimar. In answer to thisletter President Phelan replied: ~cisco, Dec. 7, 1895.

Likewise you will take into sccount that not 1 every onc of us is blessed with sufficient worlily goods to enabie him to visit those far distant and celebrated stores of art. It is not just, therefore, tolook away from those *rigia” ari rules which must give in to other consid- erations dieiated by peculinr circumsiances { end which induced th.e plan of our commitiee u original i to gladden the admirers of German literature teadd of patrons of art we would be | by the érection of that monument, which— is hur ilintion. : © | traditionally revered—commenmorates i digiti- 1§ tion and tie resolutfons ! ficd form so'great an epocn of poetical achisve- eiding in T con ment? Whatever this conception may be lack- ing instrength of nrgument 1s amply compen- sated by considerations sentimentalin their nature. A copy of this kind could not be o target for your eriticism, which deems it infra dig “io appropriate other people’s ideas,” for it will always be looked upon as the Rietschel monu- | ment. Though this monument is fifty years old, that does not detract from it uniess we place art on a level with mechanical voca- tions, which, as may oeconceded, are expected 10 progress ffom time to time. But even our tin de siecle colture does not dare, in matters of art and literature, to deny the superiority of 4 former centuries. If individuelity were under all ecir stances of greater merit than a ‘“copy would involve a preference for that ‘‘gawk ; martyr President, to a copy of one of the sub- limest works of Grecian or Roman sculpture. We have, doubtless, domestic artists compe- tent to make & good statue, especially if ample funds are placed at their disposal. Their work willhave the distincuion to t ¢ “original,” and to be expressive of the spirit, the art-culture and resources of California. It is a peculiar fact, bowever, that here in San Francisco we often come across “‘original” works of art which have been made in foreign countries, material and by foreign artists. There may bé weighty reasons for this, but the layman is justified in being skeptical and in drawing the inference that certain classes of art creations here are not as well developed as in older centers of art, otherwise our domestic artists would not be compelled to go abroad for the purpose of either beginning their work there or putting the finishing touches upon it. | g0 g 5 & TayihatIsEnati ool The higher conception of art makes it inter- national and universal. We may stand by our home industries and purchase none but home- made shoes and brooms, but art and literature occupy a higher level. This remark I make because I have not been able to shake offa fee! ing of indignation, which came over me on reading an article contributed by one of our local &rtists to one of our dailies, u few weeks £go, wherein he makes the attempt to lower art to the level of a “trades unfon” and manu- facturers’ association. I need not assure you that this controvers will not be influencéd by prejudice or personal feeling on my part; the unpleasent feature in this matter has notheen called forth by you but by certain influences emanating froi out- siders. Your serious endeavor to promote Californin art and culture deserve recognition and encouragement. I have given you here- with my views sccording to my best lights ana under pressure of & _certain responsibility, by reason of the position which I occupy in this matter. 1am ail the more unwilling to con- tinue this controversy, because existing cir- cumstances oppose a speedy consummation of our project. CHARLES BUNDSCHU. Alr. Phelan in answering Mr. Bundschu's lengthy epistle stuck to his original opin- ion, that it was best to stay at home and named Mr. Douglass Tilden asa capable sculptor with whom Mr. Bundschu couid confer regarding the cost and immensity of the group SN FrANCIsco, Dec. 24, 1895. Mr. Cherles Bundschu—DEAR SI. Your es- teemed favor of December 23 received, for which accept my thanks. Ifully understand and appreciate your position in’ this matter, and will consider this brief acknowledgment of your letter as a final termination of th Qiscussion. So Iar as the Art Associati is concerned 1 have undertaken this discussion of this question less reluctantly because I con- sider that the subject-matter involved is not at all a private undertaking. The money for this undertaking was raised by means of & public festival, and the proposed statue is intended for a public pai | | 1 i | | I considered it one of the duties of the Art | Association 1o interest itself in art matters generally and particularly in the exhibition of works of art in public places. My briet ar- gument was made mainly irom an artist point of view, as you have seen, and as you view this matter in a different lignt, that is to suy, you intend merely to honor the poets in v for us to enter upon common ground hout going into further_details, I iuiclose lierewith an article which 1 have written for the Christ mas News Letter, which briefly treats of the matier in question. 1 quite agree with you that art knows no sge or country and I would consider it nurrow-minded and bigoted o ex- clude any work of art from & public park on tAeground that itis the Work of a foreign artist The Art Association gladly weicomes the work of & foreizn master. 1f it were to order the creation of a work of art, it would on merely patriotic grounds give the preference to & comprient amerfean artist, for there are Anerican &rtsts wno are fuly’ as capable as those of any other_country.. Our obje the Rietschel monument is against the work o art, but to the propositiv that the accepinnce of a duplicate of it wonld belittie aud deny ot cluim to artistic skill, and we assert thut # zopy of such is worthle You call it renlica. 1 beg to eall your atte tion to the fact Uint a repiica is a reproduetion by the artist who created: the original. 1 am informed, Lowever, that your intentions are to have merely a copy made’ by a mechani- cal process without the @id .of ‘the origingl master. ATeplica is. therefore léss objection- able thau &.cony 1 have unwittingly entered npon the disc sion oi this question again, which is not my ition, and- which 1 hed no desire to do veu should so desire it. 1 agree withi sou thet an original work of art.isnot desir- able unless it4s really worthy. Had I not I lieved that American art would be abie to create o worthy monument for Lhose great men I v,ould not have interceded with yourcommit- tee fur an original WOk 0 Art. Permit me 10 Tefer your committee to Mr. Douglas Tiiden, professor. of scuipture Art Associntion, Mark Hopkins ATt lustitute. b will be able 1o give all details in regard to the oSt 0f & heroic groi:p. 1 save not spoken 1o him _about it; bui have great faith in his ability to do great Work. 345D, PHELAN. President’ Bundschu's - reply indicated that pérsonally he. bad formed a better opinion.-of the Art Association’sway. of thinking and inc:dentally had sometning to say about local art atrocities.. Herowith is Mr. Bundschu's last letter: SAN Fraxcisco, Décember 26, 18 James D. Phelan—DEARSIR: Please uccept my thanks for your favor of the 24th and the kind consideration you have given we for the posi- tion 1 am compelled totake in this matter, and 1shall hand the entire correspondence over to the Goethe-Scniller As-ociation. In order o inform all those interesied in this matter I have had ail the correspoudence published in the California Demokrat. 1 agree with you as regards 1o the defin,tion of replica as u repro- duction of a work ol art (especiatly a painting) by the same ariist who creatca the origiial, As the work of & seulpture is actuaily fi ished by the modeling, and as the pioposed mouument will be cast from the original modei, which 1s preserved in Dresden, 1 con- sidered myself eniitled 10 use ihe word Ki plica, but 1 am periectly willing to use another word with the samne meaning. The commitiee will be surely grateful to the San Francisco Art Association if their good in- tentions are directed against such atrocious original art works as Cogswell’s statue or Lot- ta’s fountain, and the continual repainting of the latte Nevertheless, I believe that our controvers will have the effect of lessening the enthus esm for even undertaking the purpose of which was only to beautify ihe parkand honor the immortal poets. 1 sincere! shere similer fate as the Grant monument which was proposed many years ago witn so 1 hope that our monnment will not | urown way, therefore it would be dificult | 5. ANXT. TING—THE mecting ¢ ockholders of the Commer- cial Tnsurance of Caiifuriawitl be hetd | at the office of the Palaine Insurince Company, | much energy and which was planued o cost | #100,000. A considerable sum was subscribed, but only | F1500 was raised, and for which o proportion- ately modest monument was made for our honored hero, and which was also made in Eu- rope. TWill endeavor to avoid a repetition of tis case, but will not be held responsible should the good will fail for further aid. I remain, CHARLES BUNDSCHU. The Art Association will stick to its be- lief that California talent should be used in making the work which is to remain in a California park, even if .t is necessary to reduce the size of the work. - The habit of sending abroad for things artistic is not meeting with much approval among the artists of San Francisco, and they have de- cided 1o make the firgt grand fight against it in the matter of the Goethe-Schiller monument. VAN GUELPEN’S STEAL. Warrant Out for the Arrest of the De- faulting Treasurer of tho Cigar- Makers’ Union. President T. F. Burns of -the Cigar- makers’ Union appeared in Judge Joa- chimsen’s court yesterday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of George W. Van Guelpen on the charge of embezzling $800 of the funds of the uuion. Van Guelpen was for years the secretary and treasurer of the union, and implcit confidence was placed in him by the ofii- cers and members. On_September the City, and an 2 his disappeared from amination of his books showed that he was a defaulter to the ex- tent of between $500 and $1100. The union at a subsequent meeting agreed to pay an assessment per month till the amount of the treasurer’s defaleations was liguidated so that the funds of the union would not be depleted. B The probability is that Van Guelpen has returned to the City, hence the warrant for his arrest. =3 | | I | on ordi CCHCORDIA CLUB BALL Brilliant New Year Event En- joyed by Fashionable Jewish Society. it PRIVILEGES OF LEAP YEAR. « v | extravagance” standing in front of Lincoln | hool, intended to represent our jmmortal After Supper the Ladies Change Places With the Gentlemen. Season’s Greetings. A brilliant New Year’s ball was given from foreign | last night at the Concordia Club on Van Ness avenue, and as in former years on tha same occasion the club sustained its high reputation as an efftertainer. Though all the arrangements were delegated to spe- cially selected committees that carried out the trust of receiving the ladies and their sired, members assumed the pleasant duty of assisting as bosts. The clubrooms were lavishly decorated with seasonable evergreens and flowers, Chandeliers were transformed into sus- pended bowers of greenery, ferns, smilax and Christmas greens, having been deftly woven to represent natural clusters that might be looked for in some basky dell. The halls were beautified—if indeed it were possibly to further adorn them—with fes- toons of green leaves and wreaths, from which red’ berries gleamed prettily. But above all the ballroom and the supper- room appeared in the loveliest of winter garbs—the walls festooned with flowers of brilliant hues, intertwined with light touches of evergreen, while here and there were great masses of blassoms and Christ- lmaslucrncx; amid green wreaths or gar- ands. The guests began to arrive shortly be- fore 9 o’clock, and for fully iwo hours a constant stream of fashionable people passed through the doors of the bailroom. The ladies fairly outdid themselves in the elegance and beauty of their costumes, for arely, if ever before, was such a variety of exquisite zowns seen at any ball in this City. And there were so many guests— 300—the baliroom scené™was indeed ant. Tt was the ball of the year in fashionable Jewish circles. Duncing began with a march and the lancers, which’ were followed by a waltz, a deux temps and fine extra numbers be- fore midnight, when all withdrew to the supper-rcom to enjoy a dainty supper. Promptly at the midnight hourall pres- ent exchanged New Year's greetings, ac- companied with a general shaking of hands and expressions of good wishes. ‘The followine menu was discassed with- out the formality of toast, but as if the guests and hosts constitnted one large family party: CONCORDIA CLUB.
