A painter's progress; being a partial survey along the pathway of art in America and Europe with sundry examples and precepts culled from personal encounter with existing conditions and reference to the careers of many artists both ancient and modern: six discourses forming the fifth annual series of the Scammon lectures, delivered before the Art institute of Chicago, April 1910
A 1910 art-theory book by the American painter Will Hicok Low, published in New York by Scribner, drawing on his Scammon lectures delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago for an audience of students and artists. The four pictures are rotated halftone reproductions of his own paintings, including a Lower Court House scene, a moonlight coasting scene, a Sniper Frenzy-style hunting group, and a Wisconsin pasture, showing figure and landscape compositions in soft tonal grey that a designer could study for mood, lighting and grouping of figures against trees and water.
