Excerpt from The Appeal of the Picture: An Examination of the Principles in Picture-Making
It is from both these classes that picture-makers come, and it is to both that this book is offered in the hope that its arguments will prove profitable. Should it come to the hands of the professional and experienced painter, he will possibly find little in its pages that he does not already know; but even to him there may be the advantage of seeing old ideas again presented and a few new ones tested by examination.
