History and Environment.—The work offered re-establishes the instruction
outlined in the first curriculum of the University, 1818, the earliest
proposal for instruction in art, architecture, and music in any American university.
An unrivalled background is provided for it by the buildings and environment
of Charlottesville; the University group, with its old buildings specially
designed to furnish examples of the various orders "as specimens
for the architectural lecturer," its new buildings designed by Stanford
White; the works of sculpture by Houdon, Ezekiel, Bitter, Borglum, Keck,
Shrady, and Aitken; the concerts and exhibitions of paintings brought to
the University with part of the income of the McIntire fund.
Equipment.—The School of Fine Arts has its headquarters in the
building at the south end of West Range, which has been specially adapted
to its use. It comprises a lecture, concert, and exhibition hall, architectural
draughting rooms, dark rooms and offices. A large studio for
freehand drawing and painting is located in Cabell Hall. For concerts
requiring large seating capacity Cabell Hall itself is available, and also the
new classic open-air amphitheatre given to the University by Paul Goodloe
McIntire, of the Class of 1879.
Since the foundation of the School the University has already acquired
the nucleus of an important collection of works of art, to supplement
the considerable number of fine portraits and other paintings in its
possession. As a gift from Hon. John Barton Payne it has received a
large collection of etchings, engravings and lithographs, including numerous
and important examples of the work of Rembrandt, Whistler, Haden,
Turner, Legros, Zorn and other masters, and admirably illustrating the
history and processes of the graphic arts. An important canvas ascribed
to Rubens has just been presented by John Armstrong Chaloner, Esq.
For the current work in Art and Architecture there is generous provision
of casts, books, photographs and lantern slides. The casts include
elements of the figure, and a number of full figures from the antique,
as well as fine modern figures. Beside the books on the history of
art and on construction kept at the University Library, an exceptional
departmental collection of works valuable for reference in
architectural design and detailing, is housed in direct connection with the
draughting rooms. Among the numerous important sets of folios are the
Grands Prix de Rome, Médailles des Concours d'architecture, Monuments
antiques, Fragments antiques, Edifices de Rome moderne, The Georgian
Period, Work of McKim, Mead, and White, etc., etc. These are supplemented
by some three thousand photographs, and by a collection of
five thousand lantern slides, as well as by a number of envoi drawings by
former holders of the Roman Prize and the Rotch Travelling Scholarship.
For Music, the school has two concert grand pianos for its use in the
classroom and for ensemble recitals, a double bass and kettle drums for
the use of students in the orchestra, lantern slides illustrating ancient
instruments and a comprehensive library of chamber music, orchestral
scores and parts, operas, and piano classics, as well as books of reference
on musical subjects and collateral reading, which latter are kept in the
University Library.
There are also available for the Music Department a two-manual
Skinner organ in Cabell Hall and a new three-manual Moeller organ in
connection with the McIntire amphitheatre.
