Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition by the American Fine Arts Society of the Pictures Contributed by Sweden, Norway, and Holland to the World's Columbian Exposition: Catalogue Of the Exhibitions of paintings contributed by foreign countries to the World's Columbian Exposition those of Sweden, Norway, and Holland were of especial interest. The freshness, vigor, and sincerity displayed in the canvases of the Scandinavian artists commanded the admiration of all, and. The interest was doubled by the fact that this was the first extended opportunity afforded the American public to see the Art productions of these Northern climes. It is, therefore, not surprising that the galleries devoted to these pictures at Chicago should have been thronged with enthusiastic and appreciative visitors. The Trustees of the American Fine Arts Society, always alive to the interests of the Art world, noted the general enthusiasm awakened by these Exhibitions. Actuated, not only by regard for the interests of this Society, but also by a desire to compliment the Scandinavian artists, they secured the privilege of exhibiting these pictures as they were passing through New York on their way home. The Works of the Modern Dutch Masters may not have the novelty of the Scandinavian pictures but their merit has been abundantly proved by repeated Exhibitions in this country, and they cannot fail to add to the attractiveness of the Exhibition. Through the courtesy of the Royal Art Commissioner of Sweden the Royal Commissioner of Norway, and the General Manager of the Dutch Exhibition, the arrangements for the New York Exhibition have been successfully carried out.
