THE ARTIST AND HIS WORK

The life of painter, above all, u
portrait painter, is one long success
sion of such problems, varying with
the nature of the subject in kind and
degree OF difficulty. 1t follows natur-
ally that his processes must vary, too,
the working out, for which no ia
fallible rule will serve him. In me-
chanical labor the rate of the ma
chimes pulse may lie gagged with GER
tainty, the moment of completion
accurately fixed beforehand But it il
not so in art. The all depends upon
conditions that seem TO be hourly
changing. The mood of the artist;
his distrust OF the scheme attempted,
or his entire confidence in it.; the
state OF his nerves, OF his general
health, nay, even the state OF the
weather, all affelt his work. One day
1t advances well, but, on the next
self-criticism steps in to impede him.
and he gains nothing
The soothing Philistine asclibes these
halts and reuo gre ssions to the weak
ness of the artistic temperament Yet
they are due to the work rather than
to the workman-tC the fact that he
follows an art and not a trade. No
artist can be entirely exempt from
this oppressive influence, which arises
atresh at each new effort with as
many heads as Hydra. There are
those, indeed, who estimate the value
OF their product by the depth and
number of despa rs it has engendered.
