foster an understanding Of sculpture
and of painting We hardly ever see

ties 10 US were painted by masters
who were true to their times, and the
people of their era were familiar with
the weird. mysterious and gorgeous
objects depicted upon canvas.

painting Mr.. Hartmann insists we
must be prepared by culture. and we

ford pleasure to every body and to the
humblest mind. Music will produce
a happy effect even when the hearer

cans are Unsuitable lovers of music,
and the fact that there are so many
amateurs is considered good proof that
music is everywhere met with genuine
appreciation. We are curious about
great pieces Of sculpture and vain
about possessing celebrated pictures,
but music takes hold of us, and we
cannot break the hold if we would.
