federal circuit court Of appeals.
The reversal of the federal circuit court
is held to be final under the terms Of the
Sherman act The briefs point out that

be final in certain cases, including cases
arising under the criminal laws"

place for any further action is before

Principles Of Past Not Dead.

we are asked to believe that the old
principles do not apply to new condi-
tions-that the demands of modernism
are essentially different from those Of
the dead past; but principles of the
past are not dead. Vital art cannot be
expressed in cold and pulseless ritu-
alism. but strip away the dead husks
and you will discover the pregnant and
prophetic kernels that are the forerun-
ners of future harvests. We must not
hide behind the academic walls and be
blind to any real issues that modern
ism may have raised Most unmistaka-
.bly there are movements manifest that
We must necessarily recognize. They
can be interrogated, analyZed and dis
proved so far as they may be based in
error.
Intelligent and experienced art crit
les and painters of undeniable talent
have turned aside from the beaten
ways for investigation and experiment
tation in these new lines. We may
recognize in this protest against
phases of art that are threatened. by
academic Journalism. by the ritualism
of thought and method. There are a
great many canvases in current exhi-
billions that are practically impeccable
from the conventionally professional
of the studios. but they leave us cold
1t seems to me, 1t seems to others, that
a work Of art should appeal to US in
other ways than simply as an exploita-
ton of technical skill. This Is the lay
mans claim; he believes that art
should not be limited to studio de-
mands: that 1t should have q broader
message than that; and now the paint
ers themselves are beginning to realize
this. and with grouping and more or
less inarticulate methods seek to
emancipate art from technical conven-

Interested in Material Phenomena.

THE modern painter has become in

made no appeal to the old masters.
The laws OF light have been more keen

suffered no change. We may observe
more closely. We may observe differ

truths that have been overlooked, but
we cannot overstep the boundaries of

is lunacy.
Il have thought best to indulge in
these reflections since we cannot and
should not ignore the symptoms Of an
unrest that Is voiced by reputable crit
les and expressed by able and intelli-

Points Out Mistakes.

Naturally some Of them go to extrava-
giant lengths. Some OF them. in seeking
for freedom. make the mistake Of assum-
ing that all the highways are ways Of
error: that an established principle Is
necessarily an error that what has been
has no relation to what is to be. 1 have
already intimated that recreation is
neither necessary nor possible. We dc
not need to break the tablets Of the law
We shall hold fast to the school funda-
mentals.
80 long as art portrays or expresses
the relations of man to man, of man to
nature, so long will 1t be necessary to
understand the constructive character OF
both man and nature. We shall continue
to learn to draw. We shall continue to
consider the value and color relations OF
visible nature. In other words. we shall
and we must avoid scholastic Htualism.
We must keep in mind the ultimate uses
we are to make of the knowledge and
experience acquired here.
We must seek to establish the sound
est and simplest modes of speech, SO that
when we go outside the school we may
give clear and adequate expression to the
art ideas that will appeal to US. The
business OF the school is to clarity the
perceptions. 1t is the true vision we try
for. Whatever there is in modern life
that is differentiated from the life Of the
immediate or remote past will affect, of
course. the thought. the imagination. even
the perception Of the painter.
But We may rest assured that the
true art Of modernism. in essential ways,
Will not be an utterly new manifesto ation.
1t will be found to be in fundamental ac-
cord with the art Of the ages Great art
always has been in fundamental accord.
