IF you were girl" said Hogarth, II should
advise your going in for something like this"
He tossed over portrait No. 4.
"Her style would suit you admirably
the severe features, the bobbed hsir-it's all in
the makeup You see her everywhere She
doesn't know much about art, but she has
caught the trick Of authority. Whatever
she says she delivers as an ultmatum. When
she announces that Raphael is mush, you feel
instinctively that she is right. The general
principle of her kind of appreciation is to be
unexpected and contradictory. Have you ever
met Myra Blatz?"
Again was forced to say no.
II once came upon her in the Accessions
Room at the Metropolitan Museum She was
a bit shame faced at being caught in such re-
spectacle surroundings, but regained her poise
when I asked her what she thought of the
Flemish tapestry before which we were stand
ing. The Gothic period was rubbish she
said as she turned her back upon me- Have
you seen the stone lamps in the Assyrian de-
partment? They are priceless
II could never be like her." said "I am
too mundane, too much a man Of the world
What | need is SOME sort of character in
which / can go to studio without wearing
sandals or batik pajams<, but just plain"--
II was coming to that said my friend,
completing drawing No. 5, which he laid be-
side the others. Here, by all means, is the
best tip for you This is the Casual Apprecia-
ter, the young about town who has seen
SO much art that he is family bored by it all.
To assume this role you have only to use one
word, the word amusing It should be ac-
companied usually by shrug and a slight
indication Of WEAKNESS. Suppose, for in
stance, that at studio tea sweet young
thing boils up to you and says: Have you, Oh,
have you seen those delicious sponge mono
tones of Max Webber's at the Lichtenstein
Gallery? What do you think of then?' You
simply hump your back and nurnur ANUS
ing That puts her in her place and keeps
you in yours. Privately she is dazed. He
must know awful lot about Art, she thinks.
What fool was to be so enthusiastic" A
moment later you will overhear her telling
Count Slatsky that the Webber things are
really quite amusing The word can be used
in any connection. A concert, a picture, a
funeral, a murder do you get my
idea?''
Sure" I said, rising, for it was time for
me to get back to my office.

Exhibit is the kind Of artist whom no one
appreciates but himself. He is considerably
madder than most and consequently dsagrees
violently with whatever is said about his work
Art to him is art-that is, is not question
of accomplishment, but of intention. He
spends months and months dreaming of what
ne is going to do. Do you know Twist?"
I shook my head
Twist is perfect example. went to his

he stopped abruptly.
whats the matter?" he inquired, still hold
ing out his hand.
Nothing" we said. Nothing at all"
well, why don't you shake hands, then?"
"We prefer not to-" we said
That was all. He simply turned round
and left, and we learned the next day that he
was telling our friends that While we had
nothing to be stuck up about, as far as he
could see, and didn't amount to much, any
way, we must have inherited money or some
thing which had gone to our head, and so we
went around treating everybody as if they
were ratttlesnakes
Needless to say, the deal was OFF.
Other people seem to feel the same wav

enemies than we thought was possible
We are extremely healthy now, without a

This is the casual appreciator, who
has seen SO much of art that he is
f0intly bored BY it all

Commence" I said,
and he did.
"To begin with" be-
gan my preceptor, you
must rid yourself of
any notion you may
have that in order to
talk about any art to
any artist it is neces-
sary to really appreci-
ate it or know anything
about the subject. In
fact, too much knowl-
edge of this sort of
thing is a disadvantage.
1t leads the possessor to
make critical remarks
which often have the
additional quality Of be-
ing true. This breeds
hard feelings, argu-
nent, dispute.
Your real artist is
very , sensitive, sensi-
tive to art, to criticism,
to everything. Were

MUST confess that I owe this article
b almost entirely TO my collaboration, Mr..
- Hogarth. Hogarth is artist of parts.

no claim to ability in the graphic field.

were uninteresting, but because they were so

mated conversation in which one is unable to
join. | can bear dull persons with equanimity.
| like thenl-they are restfu. But it makes
me very uncomfortable to be with, say, two
radio fans, who are talking about ticklers and
antennae and induction coils and things which
mean nothing whatsoever in my life Auto
mobile enthusiasts also leave me cold They
spring at once into mass of cylinders and
ditferentials and commutators and wrangle
about the proper length of piston thrust while
l sit by like goggle-eyed perch. The only
man who has way with car that is my
way is Terry, the genial Celt who drives me
from the station to my little Holmhurst cot
Whenever Terrys Lizzie hesitates he gives her
terrific kick in that little box full of buxzers
that is screwed on to the dashboard Terry
doesn't know why he does this. He doesn't
know what the box is for, any more than do,
but his system works. Zam and Lizzie goes
on about her business and Terry and take up
the thread Of discussion as to whether
the Yankees have any chance or not
Terry seems to have driven me a mile or
two from where / started, but now, returning
via the Esplanada, we see dead ahead the
Original Subject Of this essay, namely Artists.

my plant, II appreciate your position. At the
same time, de-preciate it,"
Hogarth is fond Of these little verbal gym
nastics and always looks keenly at his audi
tor to be sure he has registered AS flashed
him an appreciative CLEAN he continued
"Of course, we cannot all be artistic any
more than we can all be Frenchmen, but we
can at least learn the language The great
curse of the American man is his apparent un-
willingness to bother about any art or business
that isn't his own. The wool merchants flock
together; the lawyers, the shipping men, the
hardware dealers, all have their clubs, where
they sit about, discussing tariff and torts and
tack hammers, each to his own guild. What
they ought to do is to lunch together They
ought to mix up. But they don't. They are
too lazy. You say you don't know how to talk
to artists. Why don't you learn"
"Why, er, ah, er . I'd like to-" I
gulped, "but who will teach me?"
81 will,' he replied promptly.
