Synopsis
Excerpt from The Technique of Oil Paintings, and Other Essays
But, with the advent of the Impressionists, many barriers were thrown down until, to-day, our hori zon has broadened almost infinitely. Some of us have come to understand, as no one had ever understood before, not only the work of our own spiritual ancestors in all the stages of its develop ment, but also the art of alien peoples. All of the great works of Greek art which we now know have been discovered for our Western civilization since the Renaissance. The creations of primitive times are also coming to light, each year bringing some new and vital f orm of art to enrich our inheritance. Barbaric races, in exchange for a f ew beads, are letting us have their priceless heir looms, which should have the power to give us renewed youth and energy. Surely we are not all so jaded but that we shall find inspiration from these riches, just as the artists of the Renaissance were quickened by the discovery of a f ew Hellenic originals.
