Mural Painting may safely be called the most exacting, as it certainly is the most complicated, form of painting in the whole range of art; its scope includes figure, landscape, and portrait; its practice demands the widest education, the most varied forms of knowledge, the most assured experience. Save by the initiated it is apt to be misapprehended, as a form of art at best demanding little but arrangement, fancy, lightness of hand, at worst as a commercial product calculable as to its worth by the hour and the square foot. It is the object of this book to try to make a fair statement of the real demands of Mural Painting, and to endeavor to suggest its real value. The book is based upon six lectures delivered in March, 1912, at the Art Institute of Chicago, under the auspices of the Scammon Foundation, but since then, a nearly equal amount of entirely new matter has been added.
