Any American Artist Finds Himself Practically
Without Patronage
By C. R. w. NEVINSON, British Artist.

Any citizen of the United States who strives to be an artist IN lis own
land finds himself practically without patronage for the simple reason that
Americans in general have no critical faculty whatever. Any Americans
who have the idea that am merely annoyed by a lack of financial success
among them are quite wrong; on the contrary, l regard that failure as a
splendid compliment.
They will say nice words in praise of American artists and they will
support the growing chauvinst movement for American art But they
will not buy American pictures; that is the last step that occurs to any
body. In this respect the women are more responsible than their men.
The absence of a critical faculty not only impels Americans to trust
the auction room, to invest in the git-edged dead, to avoid their own native
talent; it has the most alarming consequences for the artists themselves.
The real artists of New York, by whom 1 mean the adventures in art, the
creators, have to earn their living as draymen or walters, achieving their
intellectual work when they are dead beat with manual labor.

to buy a morning paper. and spend
a half hour reading in his hotel lobby.
He selected the London Morning
Advertiser. and opening TO page two
saw three full columns of classified
ads. all very much on this order:
''Wanted-A smart barman, will

TO the effect that they were anxious
to learn the barmsid's art.

the advertisements in the paper were
