First sentence: William M. Ivins, Jr., the Curator of Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1916-1930 notes in his book Prints and Visual Communication that "[i]t is amusing to think how few of the great weavers of aesthetic theory had any familiar first-hand acquaintance with works of art and how many of them either . . . knew the art they talked about only through engravings, or else sieved their ideas out of the empty air" (Ivins 1978: 174).
