Quintillian says the perfection OF

Quintillian says the perfection OF
art is to conceal art. Then the young
miss whose mother asked to admire
first effort, admitted the production
was rose or a COW, she would be
blest If she knew which, had almost
reached the art pinnacle, as It were.
You have heard of the man who don't
know any more about art than a pig
does about skating. He exists in every
village and is usually found in the
front row at an art exhibit, talking
glibly of Michael Angelo, Raphael and
Dennis O'Toole's masterpieces, stand
Ing first on one leg and then on the
other (the man, not the masterpiece),
and looking as wise as an educated
billy goat full of paint brushes, paint
cans and canvas. This individual is
usually the town Whitewater or a
sign-painter who paints over a tin
alphabet with yellow ochre and plenty
of oil to make 1t spread easily. He
believes in the natural rather than the
acquired art. His theory is that an
artist should be born, not made; the
same as poet. He daubs and daubs
and has more canvas covered with
landscape than there were rods in the
fence Tom Sawyer and his chums
painted for Aunt Polly. The local pa
per tells him he has future before
him as big as dray load of empty
piano boxes, and he believes it. He
continues to paint from Nature, and
with natural talent, until some sad
day he awakens to the fact that he is
only an understudy to Whistler and a
thlrd-rate Phidias at best. He has
learned the sad lesson that only care
full, painstaking preparation, right
methods and liberal foundation ad.

Do you recall how you wanted to
hang that copy Of the Battle of Mara
thon at right angles to the light in
the front parlor? Your wife insisted
on 1t being suspended at an opposite
angle to the shafts of Old Sol. and
directly in le vortex of reflection
from a French mirror in whose
liquid depths might be seen the soft
colorings of a group of Simmond's
graces disporting at the springs.
Can you chase your memory back
to your daughters blushing confusion
over the prominent wall space you
chose for the bevy of Venetian
naiads? And are you not reminded
with vividness of the shocked and
panied face of Deacon Strawberry's
better-half at finding you insistent on
the suspending Of an alleged Raphael
madonna In full glare Of the library
window?
And do you not-but why continue?
