Summary: "Mr. Replogle's Dream" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction story written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1950s. The narrative takes place in a future where machines significantly dominate life, but the presence of human artistry holds a cultural significance. The story explores themes of creativity, identity, and the tension between human expression and mechanical efficiency. The plot centers around the opening of an art exhibition at the Cimabue Gallery, showcasing the works of an unknown artist named Orville, who is revealed to be a robot. Gallery partners Mr. Replogle and Mr. Ditmars are enthusiastic about the cultural importance of supporting hand-made art in an increasingly automated society. However, their excitement turns to despair when they discover Orville's true identity, leading to a crisis of integrity in the art world. As reporters and the wealthy backer McGeachin discuss Orville's abilities and the implications of a mechanical artist, Replogle grapples with the threat to human creativity and his own nightmares about a future where artistry may ultimately be devalued. The culmination highlights a society challenged by its reliance on machines and the repercussions for humanity's role in art and existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
