Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Statue Erected by the State of New Hampshire in Honor of General John Stark: A Sketch of Its Inception, Erection and Dedication The artistic development of a people rarely keeps pace with its material progress. The mad rush for financial and commercial aggrandizement that so often follows the solution of the problems of self-government leaves no time for the cultivation of the aesthetic side of human nature, and the outward evidences of a new nations growth are, in the main, crude and inartistic. Architecture is the handmaid of commerce, and the fine arts are relegated to positions humiliating in the extreme. True artistic growth, like true mental development, can come only with age. Culture is the offspring of time, and, isolated examples to the contrary notwithstanding, cannot flourish under the noisy and bustling circumstances of the struggles of a new community for physical, geographical, and financial importance. Hence it is not surprising that the first century of our national existence should have developed no remarkable artistic tendencies among us; for it cannot be denied that the beautiful has almost always been subordinated to the practical in all the endeavors to present to the world any monumental evidence of our national importance. Now, however, the evolution of history and the progress of time have brought us to that point where the crystallizing tendencies of an artistic impulse must seek public expression.
