Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Artists Teaching in America, 1941 The most obvious feature of the exhibition is the wide variety of creative attitudes it displays. Almost every picture is painted in a completely different style. If these may be taken as fair samples of the general artistic influence from over seas, it is fairly evident that no Single style or doctrine is being imposed on the American student. Each of the artists represented has con tributed a few personal comments for inclusion in these pages in answer to the following questions: What amount of teaching experience have you had in Europe, if any? What is the extent of your present teaching in this country, and where has this been conducted? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 6 In Hungary there are great quantities of unearthed riches, and not only in the form of gold. These riches are the mineral waters that abound in the country and have been the natural medicine of the people for many years. Water in itself was always worshiped by the Hungarians in the earliest ages, and they have found out through experience for which ailment the different waters may be used. There are numbers of small watering-places in the most primitive state, which are visited by the peasants from far and wide, more especially those that are good for rheumatism. Like all people that work much in the open, the Hungarian in old age feels the aching of his limbs. The Carpathians are full of such baths, some of them quite primitive; others are used more as summer resorts, where the well-to-do town people build their villas; others, again, like Tatra Fured, Tatra Lomniez, Csorba, and many others, have every accommodation and are visited by people from all over Europe.

The country, during the whole route, is open, well cultivated, occasionally gently undulating, but generally denuded of trees. Many pretty little churches, with delicate spires, peeped out to the right and left during the journey; but the first view of the cathedral of Bayeux put all the others out of my recollection. There is, in fact, no proper approach to this interesting edifice. The western end is suffocated with houses. Here stands the post-office; and with the most unsuspecting frankness, on the part of the owner, I had permission to examine, with my own hands, within doors, every letter - under the expectation that there were some for myself. Nor was I disappointed. But you must come with me to the cathedral, and of course we must enter together at the western front.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors The great majority of the streets are as narrow as any thoroughfare can well be, where people (even Italian people) are supposed to live and walk about; being mere lanes, with here and there a kind of well, or breathing-place. The houses are immensely high, painted in all sorts of colors, and are in every stage and state of damage, dirt, and lack of repair. They are commonly let off in floors, or flats, like the houses in the old town of Edinburgh, or many houses in Paris... When shall I forget the Streets of Palaces: the Strada Nuova and the Strada Baldi! The endless details of these rich palaces; the walls of some of them, within, alive with masterpieces by Vandyke!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Important Collection of Paintings and Bronzes by Modern Masters of American and European Art: On View at the C. W. Kraushaar Art Galleries, 680 Fifth Avenue, New York, December 4th to 30th, 1922 In this exhibition Mr. Kraushaar has done an uncommon, fine thing. He has defied that efficiency devil, the classifier. He has brought into this collection the pictures of good paint ers without respect to the uniforms of the regi ments in which, for the sake of economy, these organizers of artists have placed them. He has done a very fine thing in art in neglecting the rule for its exception. Indeed, if this exhibition was without anything else in its favor, it would remain of tremendous importance as a piece of destructive criticism. The exceptions to the rule in governments are criminals, and perhaps justly punished as such. The exceptions to the rule in art are artists, and of an estimable value to the world. In art, ultimately, they are the only facts worth bothering about. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Pictures: An Introduction to the Famous Galleries The masterpieces of painting need no apologies; if they did they would not be masterpieces. Some times, however, a word of explanation puts them in a better light. Gallery visitors are disposed to jump at conclusions about them, to exalt or debase them in advance of the evidence. That is why so many tourists return from Europe each season with mixed or violent opinions about the old masters. They have not seen truly nor comprehended adequately nor judged justly. For them, or for the newer and younger ﬂight that goes over seas each summer to study art, possibly this little volume may prove of service. It is not put forth as the final word; in fact, it is only the first word - something designed to in troduce the subject to further consideration.
