Of their landsmen brethren.

In an art exhibit in Chicago are dis
discussed 'cubist" style. People who
are interested in pictures are general
~ familiar with the appearance Of
that which the cubists call art. They
have seen reproductions of the COM
binatioEs Of geometrical figures which
are the very latest product of this
school, but what it all means nobody
seems to know. and least OF all the
cubists themselves. In the Chicago
exhibit are pictures which are said
to be not merely nude of art, but
things which are suggestive. indecent,
immoral, and evidently the product
Of depravel or diseased minds. 1t is
peculiar thing that some concep-
tons of art appear to include in it
about all that is vile and. degrading.
Every new school that seeks public
recognition through its %wierdness and
strangeness is apt to be touched with
this disease. The devotees of this sort
Of thing attempt to justify it by the
argument that as art is the delineation
of nature, and as there is in nature
the vile n the low and the gross,
it is necessary for art. in order to be
true to itself, to depict all Of these
things in the sculptured stone, on the
painted canvas. and in the written
book. All of which is bosh. We NAV
know that in the gutter there is filth
indescribable. but We do not think it
necessary TO go and wallow in it.
