Excerpt from Fifty Paintings by George Inness
The fabric then, the substructure, is never fully seen in the noble later works of the master, yet it would be fantastic to think it absent, or that he had achieved this nobility without the long process of trained observation, effort, and rendering, for the painter must practice his processes as constantly as must a musician labor with the scales.
Wherever and whenever the opportunity comes to study and know the great painter, it becomes our duty to seize it, for he is very rich in interest, intense in effort, and dramatic in result, and above all, what he did he did for us, his countrymen, and we should know him as we know a statesman or a poet who has ennobled his time and his people.
