Later, she addressed the convention from

it is Dirt said he, :'let it be dirt. Don't
try to clean it: The thing I want my
students to, do is to produce an honest
expression of the genuine character in
the things depicted. Art, in its highest
aspects is simply the working out of that
idea. The only solid ground on which
