is not only painter of distinction and
a teacher, but an astute critic and one
who for a number of years has kept IL
broad survey of the field of art. His i'm
pressions and opinions, therefore, not
only command respectful attention, but
must carry weight.
The subject announced for the talk was
''Some Things" but at the outset Mr..
Brooke informed his listeners that it was
the old truths. not now. that he was
bringing to them. For, after all, he said,
the old ones are good enough-they suf-
feed for the great masters, they will suf-
flee for US, and If by reiteration they can
be kept in mind, well it would be If they
were more frequently repeated. There Is
today, Mr.. Brooke affirmed, such variety
in production, so many schools, SO many
innovators. that one is apt to become con-
fused and forget that all art is built upon
certain fundamental principles. 1t is gov
erned, he declared, by the immuta bic
laws of nature and no matter in what
direction the kite may fly, the string Is
held by a strong hand-a hand resting on
mother earth. Speaking of the art school
and its functions, Mr.. Brooke said that
it was a mistake TO think that training
could destroy individuality, for 1T is i'm
possible TO cease 10 De ourselves, TO sup
press personality; but on the other hand,
it should not be thought that the school
could turn out the finished product-it could
only teach the language. The academic,
Mr. Brooke insisted, is not today suffi-
GENTLY emphasized, and for this reason
the tendency is toward careless, super
fetal work. In conclusion, the speaker
commended budget of admonitions to
the attention of his hearers, namely. the
necessity of learning to draw, the value
of color, the significance of shadows. the
Importance of properly placing the subject
transcribed upon paper or canvas, the
advantage OF material methodically han
died and the propriety of elaboration.
In referring to the last, Mr.. Brooke told
of the manner in which certain we'll
known painters work, giving to each
stroke OF the brush, each color chosen.
due consideration. For those who are
endeayoring to become professional paint
ers such counsel is very helpful.
