Works of Jean-Émile van Cauwelaert: catalogue. February 4 to March 2, 1902 online

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

JEAN EMILE VAN CAUWEI.AERT

JEAN EMILE van CAUWELAERT.



Jban Smii^k van Cauwbi.a«rt was born in April,
1866, in Ghent, Belgium. He showed artistic proclivi-
ties from earliest childhood, drawing spirited reminiscen-
ces of a religious procession at the age of six with chalk
upon the kitchen wall. In the common school, which
he left in his thirteenth year, he and the now well-known
artist. Van Melle, were chosen to decorate the borders of
the school diplomas. For a time he attended the
Atheneum, a high school free to pupils of high standing,
but soon, his father being disabled by an accident, he
was obliged to relinquish his idea of becoming an artist
and to take up the trade of cabinet making for the
support of his mother and her three children. The
knowledge of architectural drawing acquired at the
Atheneum was now of good service to him.

Upon his father's death, when he was nineteen years

old, he changed his trade and found employment with a

house decorator, with whom he worked successfiiUy

until he was drawn for military service. During his

three years and a half of service he studied both art and

music, attending the Academy of Fine Arts at Ghent in

his spare hours, and being attached to the regimental

band. In the Academy he overtaxed his eyes and was
threatened with blindness, but he succeeded in winning
first the second prize, and then for two successive years
the first prize. I^ater he returned to the pursuit of
interior decoration and won medals for tapestry paintings
at Tunis, Spa, Brussels, Ostend, Ghent and other cities,
but the business was unprofitable, and he went to
Amsterdam and employed himself copying paintings in
the Ryks Museum, and selling them to tourists. Through
all this time, as mechanic, soldier, decorator, musician,
copyist, he never relinquished his ambition to become a
painter.

It was while copying a painting in the Ryks Museum
in 1 594 ^^21^ ^is work arrested the attention of a gentle-
man from Chicago,* through whose interest he was
enabled to study a year in Paris and a year in Brussels.
In 1898 he offered his first picture, a landscape, to the Salon
du Champ de Mars, and it was accepted, favorably hung,
and well received by the artistic world. In 1899, a year
later, his second offering, **Iye Retour d la Ferme, en
Flandre," was hung in the same Salon, and elicited much
favorable comment. The French Government, and at the
same time the Museum of Adelaide, Australia, made over-
tures for the purchase of this picture, but preference was
given to a higher offer received through a Paris art
dealer from a gentleman in Rio Janeiro, Brazil. With
the proceeds of this transaction the artist purchased his
present home at 19 Fort Straat, Ghent. This is the only
important picture he has sold, and all his works since

extraordinary circumstance. In 1900 he exhibited in
the old Salon ' %a Sortie des Veaux ; 1 ent^t^. ' ' In 190X
his Salon picture * 'Passage de la Lys i Afsn6'' obtained
for him the honorable title **Membre Associ^ de la
Society Nationale des Beaux Arts k Paris.'*

M. van Cauwelaert has been in Chicago for several
weeks, and will remain during the present exhibition.
