 New York Architecture Images- Hughson Hawley
This tension between the architectural design of the building and the artistic means whereby it is expressed was a leitmotif of many reviews of architectural exhibitions published in the architectural journals of the late nineteenth century.
His description of the faults of artists rendering architectural subjects is almost a prescription of a drawing by Hawley; qualities noted with admiration by other critics: "Watercolorists, not primarily architects, almost always fail in representing architectural subjects by drowning the architecture in chiaroscuro, ‘masterly’ brushwork and startling cloud-effects."22
In New York, for example, the Architectural League was established in 1881 to promote the artistic training of architects, and began annual exhibitions in 1886, at first in conjunction with the exhibition of the Salmagundi Club, which had been founded in 1871 as an artists’ sketch club.
