PROTECTIVE ORNAMENT, by
Claude 5arodon, a book which
will be a delight to architects and
poets alike.
Claude Bragdon. the architect
with eyes that see sermons In
stones" has written a little book
called Protective Ornament" but
which. in reality. sums up the whole
poverty OF our aesthetic sense and
shows us the meagerness OF our
lives In relation to the great realm
OF beau'v. Having felt the urge OF
the spirit toward higher and bet
ter things, M. Bragdon has set
himself The task of creating an out.
!e. for this feeling and partial
realization Of it's desires. He has
striven. like other artists, to put
into form our aspirations. and these
forms have not been poetry. music
or sculpture. but the ornaments OF
architecture. Most OF us believe
the arts to be interchangeable: ex.
p-essions In different form OF the
same thing. and with this idea In
mind. 1t Is delight to read what
Mr.. Bragdon has TO say on this sub
ject which is only now beginning
20 stir the American people. That
We have not yet attained TO aesthe-
TIC utterance through the arts OF
space" we know well. but we are
beginning TO make an attempt to de.
velop ourselves along these lines.
The subject IL treated with philos.
ophic insight az well rs feeling, and
is remarkable inspiration to all
those who are seeking the true and
the beautiful.
