ART AFTER THE WAR
"4
:of the following basis of fair food
The history of art indicates that profits, stating that specific mar
after a great war the nations en-j gins had been fixed on food com
gaged in the conflict, are likely j modities and that these margins
to enter upon an era of activity will be enforced without any ex
in art and literature. Such was options.

with the return of peace, America i Laid nml lar1 g,;bsti
will experience a great revival!
in ttie demand for the services
of her artists and artisans.
('i vilified nations have long rec
ognized the importance of art, I
with few excepts (American being
one of them), have formed minis-j
tries to :nlluence and direct art is-(
tic energies of the country. France !
has had a Ministry of Art for ,
three e-enturie. and it has 1)eeu
stated that England was planning !
. . " s
such an orgamation when the war j
interiered with the accomplish-j
ment of her rmmosc.
In this connection it is rratif v-!
mg to note the fact that plans to
1
estabiish a Department of Fine
Arts at AVashmgton are under
way. This movement seems to
have been started by a committee
of Philadelphia artists and .art lov
ers who were dissatisfied with the
method followed in handling cer-
tain works otf art and valuabi
art collections.
Committee similar to the one
formed in the Quaker City have
been organized in Chicago. Cin
cinnati and Cleveland, and it
seems likely that a nation-wide
campaign to stimulate senliiuen:
in favor of a Federal Fine ArL
Department will result.
