THE SHAPE OF THINGS
Drawings Bring Great
Art Into the Home

1t all came from the mood
of the times. A century earlier
the rigors Of the classical.
serious and noble" styles had
followed the excitement of
the Renaissance Age of Dis
covery. Improvising. then.
had been frowned upon.
The eighteenth century
painters and the tastemakers
OF the period changed all
that. Suddenly a new human
ness, a lively spontaneity
were discovered" in the
drawings of the masters of
the noble" styles Of a CEN
tury and more before.
The drawings gave these
onlookers. they said, the feel
of the first fire Of inspira-
ton" of the master who
created them when he had
some great land possibly bor-
ingI painting in mind. This
sudden appreciation OF the
spontaneous line, the half
finished study; the jottings
of inspiration. is reflected
everywhere in the paintings
which these same connois-
seurs Of the eighteenth CEN
tury commissioned from
their painters.
Unrelated Drawings
The passion for drawings.
unrelated to the great paint
ings which were to arise from
them, created. in the
eighteenth century. other
trends which also parallel
those of our time. From
admiring the unselfconscious
sketches Of the masters of
the past, the art lover sud-
denly became the client OF
those living artists of his day
who delighted in producing
drawings with no thought
of a painting to follow,
Fragonard and Watteau,
Hubert Robert and Boucher,
all executed drawings of this
type for their patrons.
The result? The birth OF
the first amateur artists.
The patron got caught up
In a new world of spontan-
eouS and often charming ex-
preston. The Count of Saint
Aubin goes on trips with
Fragonard to Italy and re-
counts in his dairy that,
stopping for the night in
some small country inn. they
enjoyed a candlelit evening
drawing classical fantasies"
and ruins"
Once born, the amateur
survived.
Amateurs Field
! He - and, later, she -
developed greater ambitions.
At the time, however, draw
ing was the amateurs field.

A.: Whether or not you need

cation isn't too important at
this time. No one knows what
will happen 10 to Is years

your desire to complete your

easy to raise a family. keep a
household going. and attend
courses at night.
AS for your future career,
that's something that no one
but you can finally decide.
After you get your B.A. degree.
you can do many things-get
a Government job, work in a
corporation or foundation, or
go into Journalism, as you
suggest. 1t won't be easy to
break into q newspaper,
though. without any real
journalistic background.
Besides. what's wrong with
teaching? AS I've remarked
in this corner before, we need
teachers. and need them badly
Ten years from now, at the
rate our school population IL
increasing and the teacher
supply decreasing. we will face
a serious shortage of qualified
teaching personnel. At least

headlined an expose of the
payola racket five or six years
ago.
But, if the term "payola'
isn't new, how old is it? The
best evidence-and here we

indicates that the term is at
least 35 or 40 years old. The

smashing success-and cuff
