Expressionism in Art

EXPRESSIONS IN ART by SHELDON CHENEY. Originally printed in 1934. PREFACE: MANY artists and students will face a new essay on Modernist art with the sort of impatience manifested by John Marin. I had asked for photographs of his paintings. What he exclaimed. Another damn book Contemplating the burden of recent works in this field, I too am impelled to ask why I who once reformed and wrote no books for seven years should now offer a volume about Expressionism. My reason, I think, was this. There are books enough serving as introductions to Modernism, recounting its early history and pav ing the way to the first glimmers of understanding. But there is, in English, no book pretending to analysis of the characteristic ele ments in Expressionist art. Eleven years ago I wrote a frankly introductory work. Therein I was concerned to break down prejudice against the new art. I was trying to remove the blinders placed by academic teaching over the eyes of the average citizen, was hoping to pry open, a little, the too tightly closed mind of the student and observer. In those days, in the early Twenties, Modernist art was on the defensive. One broached the subject with apologies and explana tions. One took up arms self-consciously, even heroically, under the barrage of writings laid down by academic critics in defense of what is now obviously the old art. The whole subject of Modernism was surrounded by an atmosphere of battle, with the radicals on the challenging side. The introductory and apologetic books, my Primer and the variously admirable works of Wilenski, Bell and Eddy, belong to that earlier time, when the public was unconvinced and the Moderns a beleaguered minority. Today conditions are reversed. Expressionism if you will allow me the word is widely accepted, studied, even respectable. In this book, therefore, if I am wise, only minor effort will be expended to convince the reader that radical Modern art is logical and inevitable. I shall take for granted open-mindedness, if not a practiced appreciation of old and contemporary Expressionist works. After some clearing of the ground, and the establishing of defini tions, I shall explain, so far as my present understanding serves, the special means by which artists are accomplishing a return to essen tially expressive and creative art. I plan to describe technical methods, report theories, and sketch so much of the social back ground as may seem to have characteristic influence upon advanced practice. My first aim is to aid the student in opening the way to under standing and enjoyment. I hope, in addition, that practicing artists will find the book clarifying though I want no one to seek herein a formula for creative accomplishment. True Expressionism goes deeper than that. The book is at once my most independent and personal expres sion upon art, and a confession that I have no original theory of Modernism. Even while relying upon my own reactions to and study of living art works, I can claim no originality for the explana tions and analyses set forth and certainly I make no pretense to omniscience in any part of the vast field surveyed. I have merely collated more recorded opinions and expositions than any earlier writer, and I am attempting a digest in readable form, along the line of my own seeing...

PRINCIPLES OF NEWSPAPER MANAGEMENT by JAMES E. POLLARD. Originally published in 1937. PREFACE The years have multiplied the problems of American newspaper management and placed a growing premium upon its basic soundness. Lately there has been a marked acceleration in both directions with new problems and with a still greater need for sound management. This was particularly true after the onset of the depression in the United States. Some newspapermen even were not fully aware of all that transpired, or, if they knew what had occurred, they were some times at a loss to account for it or to understand it. It is not strange that the layman should lack an appreciation of the importance of the business side of publishing or an understand ing of its problems. Indeed, to the lay mind, journalism invari ably means only the editorial side of publishing. Many readers, in fact, have too limited a conception of even the editorial department. As a rule, the business aspects of publishing are beyond their ken, except in a vague and general way. For newspapermen and public alike, it is important that the newspaper should be viewed as a whole. The day is past when the editorial department is sufficient unto itself, or when the advertising department can be conducted without regard for the circulation or production departments. There are no longer separate watertight compartments in the scheme of newspaper organization and management, if, indeed, there ever really were. What has been attempted here is an analysis and appraisal of the functions and workings of the daily newspaper other than editorial. Special effort has been made to note and to evaluate the changes that came about during or as a result of the depres sion. How permanent they will be can only be guessed, but there appears to be no question but that many of the effects will be lasting. This is not intended as a technical treatise on any of the sub ject matter covered, nor is it presumed that all the answers are here. This is designed, rather, to present the rounded picture of daily newspaper publishing from the standpoint of management. In controversial matters, such as, for example, the questions relating to advertising rates, every effort has been made to give both sides fairly. Unless otherwise indicated, the author must be responsible for such opinions and conclusions as are expressed, as well as for any errors or misstatements. No book of this sort would be possible without advice and help from many sources. Grateful acknowledgment is therefore made here to Mr. Robert E. Segal, associate publisher, the Chillicothe, Ohio, Scioto Gazette to Mr. Paul Bellamy, editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer to Mr. Charles H. Phinney, formerly composing room superintendent, Boston Transcript to Mr. O. C. Harn, managing director, Audit Bureau of Circulations to Mr. Nelson P. Poynter, former editor and publisher, Columbus Citizen to Mr. John F. Meyer, of the Inland Daily Press Association to Professor Jacob B. Taylor, chairman of the department of accounting, The Ohio State University to Dr. Felix E. Held, secretary of the College of Commerce and Administration, The Ohio State University to Mr. Henry R...
