      Californie Artists of the San Francisco Art Association

      The San Francisco Art Association has a distinguished record for encouraging the development of modern art. The most courageous artists in our community have for many years turned their eyes to the experiments of the Paris art world rather than to New York and the American scene. This broad point of view is more than ever dominant today, when the new note in American painting shows a search for the values of pure painting so magnificently advanced by Picasso and Braque but now reaching beyond to new levels of expression that reject the objects of the literal world.

      Speculations have been offered to explain this devotion among northern California artists to the highest ideals of art, free from commercialism and provincialism.

But that is a negative factor, and there seems to be little room for doubt that the activities of the SFAA are mainly responsible for the creative spirit we have seen here. With a membership drawn from both artist and lay groups, the SFAA was organized in 1871 with a constitution that stated: Its objects shall be the promotion of Painting, Sculpture and Fine Arts akin thereto, the diffusion of a cultivated taste for art in the community at large, and the establishment of an Academy or School of Design. The first school of design opened in 1874, but in 1893 the Mark Hopkins mansion on Nob Hill was established as the Mark Hopkins Institute, housing both the art gallery and art-school activities of the association. The great fire of 1906 destroyed the old mansion, but a new building arose from its ashes and
