Cyrus Dallin Continued from Page 1 permanent collection at the Springville Museum of Art started and grew, and now has the state's largest collection collec-tion of Utah art and a substantial sub-stantial amount of Socialist Realist art from the former Soviet Union. According to Mae Huntington, Hunt-ington, who wrote in 1923 that those early visionaries "began their campaign by talking art to students, teachers and school patrons; then art meetings were held where lectures were given; reproductions of famous pictures pic-tures by old masters were displayed; while teachers and visiting artists explained ex-plained their merits and told something of the lives of painters." . "The gospel of beauty was spread, little by little, until the people of the town began be-gan to experience a feeling of appreciation for the works on Hafen and Dallin and the reproductions then on display," said Huntington. Hunting-ton. Other artists of the state, seeing what was being done in Springville, sent paintings of their own to be added to the one already presented. These paintings were unveiled un-veiled in April 1907 before an audience that by this time had become "irrepressibly enthusiastic" in the cause of art. ' The city council voted a special tax to carry on the work, and the school board appropriated an amount equal to the tax, known as the Springville High School prize. This money was offered each year to purchase paintings paint-ings for the art collection in Springville. Huntinton asked the question, ques-tion, "Does the project pay?" , Today we could ask, "Did f fftLTjgQXD? mmnxm That means that you can call on me to fill your needs with the coverage you want and at the lowest possible cost.

I think you'll be glad you did. the project pay?" Huntington answered, "Not in monetary terms, of course. But aesthetically and spiritually those interested in it feel that it does pay, and that it will continue to produce pro-duce adequate returns." "For he is rich whose mind is rich, and that mind is rich which has striven always toward to-ward a high ideal, toward the cultivation of a love for the beautiful and the true. This daily companionship with master minds in their sublimest moments will teach boys and girls fine discrimination dis-crimination in judgment, the wonder of sage-covered desert, the inspiration of heavenward-reaching peaks, the peace of snow-covered snow-covered plain or ice-bound stream, the joy of blossoming blossom-ing bush or tree; it will prove 'an endless fountain of immortal drink,'" said Huntington. "These paintings will interpret in-terpret lire and nature to them in a subtle language of beauty and power; they will be as real voices audible to their spirits in the silence. Their uplifting influence will return to them often, swiftly and quietly, like doves flying from far away, and the beauty of them will linger in their memories long after other school joys have been forgotten." The Springville Museum of Art, now with its large building, has played a prominent role in the identity identi-ty and development of Springville over the past 102 years. In founding the art movement, move-ment, Hafen and Dallin hoped to foster an appreciation apprecia-tion for the arts, thereby increasing in-creasing the spirituality of the people of the Art City. For many, the charm of the art museum is its deep community com-munity roots.
