Painters' War "Work in Amer
ica Run by a Lot of Ama
teurs, He Declares
"The sooner this country gets on a
level with Germany In art matters the
better for this country."
"So ayg Joseph Pennell, artist of world
note, and dean of American lithograph
era. Mr. Pennell, In an Interview, spoke
of this country's pressing need for a
povemmental agency to foster art In
the United States that would correspond
to the ministry of fine nrts In France
"France," said Mr. Pennell, "has had
such a ministry for 300 years Other
foreign countries have It. Germany had
It before the war, and one of tho Otrman
Government's first acts after It was re
constituted following tho signing of the
armistice was to set up a new ministry
of fine'' nrts. .
"Germany regards art as a aluable
national aBset. So do the other nations
of Hurope. There are only two great
countries without a ministry of fine
arts England and the Unltol States.
And England would liao had It except
for the war.
"Though tho English had no ministry
of fine arts, English artists did splendid
work during the war, under direction of
their committee on public Information.
In England this committee was run by
people who knew their business not as
ours was by a lot of amateurs afraid
to call their souls their own.

France Did Splendid Work
"The artists of France did splendid
work In tho war, too. Both France nnd
England hae sent' us fine exhibitions
of war art. Tho English hao had a
better show In New York than we could
get In the entire country of the work
of American artists.
"France nnd England have done more
for the advancement of American art
during the war period than the United
Stntes.
"American war posters were not of as
high a standard as thoie produced
abroad. The artist here, moreover, has
proved himself In many wajs a fool
Tho American artist gave his services
for nothing; the lithographer, tho printer
and tho bill sticker who put, his work
before the public were paid well for
their services. In England tho artist
was paid for his work. In France the i cott
government had a lot of hlghlv trained
men to draw on for war art. Tho gov
ernment told tho artists what to do, and
they did It.
"The difference between this- country
and England and Franco is that our
allies had trained artists and craftsmen
to do the work which was necessary to
keep the needs of the war before the
public. They knew their business. They
were trained In excellent schools
"France and England have such
schools. Germany has them. Other
countries have them.
Only One School Here
"In the United States there Is only
ono such school, the Ohio Mechanics' In
stitute Of the hundreds of artists who
were called upon hero to do war-poster
work only a handful had tho technical
training necessary for the work. And
this handful got their schooling abroad.
"Before the war Germany had nu
merous men trained In the technical
sldo of this work. They made school
posters and placards bejond counting.
They were spread thick all over Ger
many. This country was Inundated with
them. The Germans could make posters
of this sort fine work, tho very best
and afford to Bell them In tho United
States at fifty cents apiece. Posters I
hero In this cttv do not know n thing
about the making of posters It Is a
regular scandal, I know all about
our Bchools. They do not teach the
practical end of It. They have no
presses. They have no technical men
capable of teaching the work. I
"After the war we expect to enter
Into artistic competition with tho other I
nations with the world. Wo will get
wiped out unless there Is some pro-
vlBlon made for tho right kind of art i
