Excerpt from Chardin
Owing to the difficulty experienced in trying to provide a large number of illustrations, which after all it has not been possible to obtain, this book has been in the press rather longer than expected. Reading it over now, I feel that its attitude to modern art, more particularly towards Whistler and the Academy - now a topic devoid of actuality it seems - needs perhaps some definition. The new manner of seeing exemplified, amongst others, by Whistler, has relieved the modern artist of a great deal of grinding labour; he produces his illusions with considerable effect and inconsiderable effort. Whistler's Protests in Pigment have been the cause of a great deal of slipshod workmanship, because the mental labour which preceded each stroke of Whistler's brush is not so apparent as the patient toil of Van Eyck's pencil, for instance. We have now all over Europe a host of painters, who, pleased with their ability to produce effects, seem to think that that is due to their exceptional abilities. That, however, is a great fallacy. Careful scrutiny of seventy-five out of a hundred 'modern' painters' work will reveal less knowledge of the painter's craft than some of the most discredited of the early and mid-Victorian painters possessed.
