Excerpt from Some Modern Artists and Their Work At last, at about the age of one-and-twenty, the patient student was found ripe for painting in Rome. There he worked for some three years, and there, at the age of twenty-four, he produced the picture which established him suddenly but surely in England as a famous man. The Procession of Cimabue's Madonna was Mr. Leighton's first Academy picture. The name of the young continental student was not known here, and his work was an almost unparalleled surprise. The exquisite serenity of the treatment at a time in which Art was tawdry when it was in any sense decorative; the chaste and cool colour at a period when somewhat garish hues prevailed; the lofty sense of beauty in a day of prettiness; in a word, the inspiration of mediaeval Florence shining upon Trafalgar Square the thing was altogether unexpected, as new in its style as in its merits. In spite of the admiration excited, and of the fact that the picture of the year Was bought by the Queen, the young painter fled from the scene of his brilliant de'but, and, during a residence of some years in Paris, gained from study and practice an increase in technical skill, and from Ary Scheffer an addition of sentiment.

Excerpt from Some Contemporary Artists T is no longer the fashion to abuse British pictures. All sorts of nice things are being said about our paintings and, if we believed all we were told, we should think that our painters had nothing to learn from anybody. British art stands second to none in the world. So said Sir Robert Witt at the open ing of a Spring exhibition in Whitechapel this year (1922) and Sir William Orpen, who him self certainly knows how to paint, has re echoed his words. No doubt it is comforting to have a good opinion of ourselves, but these pronouncements would carry more conviction did they come from the mouth of a foreigner. We are hardly able ourselves justly to appraise the worth of our contemporary artists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern Artists Unnatural restraint gave way to licence frankly human, and austere splendour was replaced by the magic of personal en chantment. As in life, so in art, there were no traces of pain or sorrow. A feverish reversion to pleasure was the only note sounded. Skies were perpetually blue, gallants languished about strumming guitars, and the greensward was dotted with Shep herds and shepherdesses beribboned and Operatic. Existence became a pastoral now French, now Italian, new Spanish, and the world gaily embarked in flower-decked galleys for Cythera, unmindful of hoarse mutterings which were soon to sweep aside this fleeting moment Of nonchalance. In essence the entire movement was a return to paganism, not the broad paganism of earlier days, but an ethereal paganism recording all the in consequence of its hour. For the time being standards were strangely confused. Religion as well as reality was obscured. The crucifix and the crown Of thorns were forgotten. Those bambini who tempered the zealous exaltation of numerous Um brian and Flemish canvases, who with Raphael or van Dyck added such spontaneous charm, became mischievous amorini bent on missions dubious and diverting. Venus slipped into the niche SO long sacred to Mary Of Nazareth and Psyche shone cream-white amid the green of Versailles leafage. The chosen poet of all this radiant subversion, the one who best caught its particular accent, was not Watteau, SO tinged with pensiveness, nor Boucher, who possessed every gift save the gift of truth, but J ean-honoré Fragonard. It was he whose purpose was clearest, he who reduced desire to its most infec tious terms, he who joyously revived so many lost kisses and neglected caresses. Throughout his life Fragonard played and perpetuated the Comedy of Love. Femininity, perverse and eu dearing, he glorified in countless miniatures, portraits, fans, and decorative panels. Though he came last among the painters of Elysium, he imprisoned a beauty which had escaped all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Study of Modern Painting The aim of this book is to find out, and to set down as briefly as possible, the various currents or trends of modern painting, showing each one of these trends as illustrated by the work of a few eminent men. It is addressed to laymen in general, and primarily to the reader who knows something of famous work - some thing, let us say, of Titian, Watteau, Corot, Turner, and even of a few American painters - but who knows very little as to the various tendencies of modern art and is not yet familiar with the names of its leaders. To this layman I have endeavored to bring the move ments and the significance of modern painting, to gether with some idea of the work of the great men who stand for it.

Excerpt from Illustrated Biographies of Modern Artists His immediate ancestors were established in Yorkshire, but they came, there is reason to believe, from Shropshire. In Yorkshire, at Scarborough, on the 3rd December, 1830, Sir Frederick was born. His family was not, however, permanently settled in England; his grandfather, the late Sir James Leighton, was for many years the much valued physician of the late Empress of Russia, and also chief of the Medical Department of the Imperial Navy, of which he had the sole direction, together with the patronage of all the offices connected with it. Sir Frederick's father was also a physician, but relinquished his profession at a compara tively early age, in consequence of the delicate state of his wife's health, which induced him to move from place to place on the Continent, in the hope of finding some suitable climate.

Excerpt from Modern Painting The Ten o'clock contained a good deal of brilliant writing, sparkling and audacious epigram, but amid all its glitter and go there are statements which, coming from Mr. Whistler, are as astonishing as a denial of the rotundity of the earth would be in a pamphlet bearing the name of Professor Huxley. Mr. Whistler is only serious in his art a grave fault according to academicians, who are serious in everything except their art. A very boyish utterance is the statement that such a thing as an artistic period has never been known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern Etchings and Their Collectors Last but not least, to a friend, who at my request has written the Introductory Chapter to this book, who is a lover of fine prints, and who has frequently helped me with advice on matters relating to them. The photogravure process which has been used for the illustrations was considered the most suitable for the particular etchings which have been reproduced. NO mechanical process can approximate original work. It would be lamentable if it did. This process, however, gives some idea Of the beauty of the originals without detracting from the skill of the Artists by too closely resembling original work.

Excerpt from History of Modern Italian Art IN writing this book I trust that I have not taken a wholly one-sided view of my subject. I certainly have not been conscious of any wish either to de monstrate that the art-work of the period under con sideration was wholly good or that it was wholly bad. At the beginning I shared the feeling which we all have to some extent, that modern Italian art was degenerate, far removed in its standards and in its results from the art of the best period; but much study of the subject has led me to alter that view very materially. No one could have followed my line of work, step by step, without becoming convinced that the common feeling, to which I have alluded, was based to a certain extent upon prejudice and lack of information, and that a more generous attitude ought to be taken toward the men who, in the face of many discouragements, have so bravely struggled to redeem the art of the peninsula from the reproach which has been cast upon it.

Excerpt from Modern French Painters: Illustrated With Over 100 Plates It is too early yet to inquire whether, among the artists here under consideration, there are some who may prove some day the peers of those great names. But of one thing I feel certain: if the not insignificant period of artistic history of which this book treats has brought forth one or several artists worthy of those Masters, it is among those I have studied here that he or they will be found.

Excerpt from E tudes in Modern French Art One day Gerome said to a student who had made a disjointed design: Go see the drawings by Raphael in the Louvre; see how he attaches his figure together at the knees and shoulders and hips; how careful he is to insist on this continuity of the form; how every bone hangs by a string to some other bone; and how careful he is to express this dragging and weight of the form. I have never seen a drawing by Gerome which did not insist on the same quality of nature. He may violently bend the joint of a figure, but what he insists on is the ow of it, not the break of it. This continuity is one of the great traits of a figure by Gerome; another is, that when the conditions of the picture do not give a chance to tell all the facts about a figure, and when some have to be expressed and others omitted, he expresses the facts of the mechanism of the human frame, so that the figure, however slight, is a viable machine. He has sometimes shown a peculiar reticence in stating the facts about a figure, reducing it to its necessary parts; these slighted or subordinate figures remind me strangely of Egyptian images, and have something of the same dignity; an Egyptian figure always seems to say that the artist was capable of expressing more if he chose, but preferred to hold his tongue; the facts of anatomy seem to be all there, only enclosed in a sort of envelope; and the figure is sure to be not a bundle of limbs, but an unity, depending upon itself from head to foot. This summary treatment, perhaps inspired by his love for Egyptian art, is successfully practiced alone by Gerome among modern painters.
