IT is part OF the difficulty " i'm
porting our art sensations and
i ideas that We very often get
them out OF their ordsr and so
miss the full possibilities of shock that
they contain.
In the latest n most important ex-

fronted with the Early works of -

spectator. Indeed the pace OF modern
art in the last few years before the
great wal had become so rapid and
phases Of art were lived through so
quickly that these starting points of
cubism may rightly he regarded as
classic.
II Is a pity. however. that W. should
have missed any of the shock. Shock
Is an excellent thing and Ii a sure sign
that the individual that experiences Il

they have learned something. The
French Emperor and Empress got in
on the wrong side of impressionism

OF Manet and to injure him. I have
never been able TO discover whether
Napoleon III. and Eugene acknowl-
edged subseq uently the error of artis-

led, but at any rate shortly after the
rudeness to Manet their reign came to
an untimely n and their opinions
upon everything lost weight. That IS
the sort of catastrophe that often hap

Mr.. Gregg in the foreword to the

Picasso was disseminated.
He soon found himself following

the law of evolution. according to
which there is no life where there Is
no change. sine variation and real

once there was the inevitable protest.
Why did he not leave we'll enough
alone? The answer was that he could

of posterity may be that the blue
