.758 H19

"It is important to understand the relation which the artist's mind plays in the development of landscape art, for students are apt to suppose that in this art at least simple copying of nature is nearly everything. Mr. Hamerton made a careful study all his life of this important subject; his conclusions are set forth in this interesting book, which contains a number of very valuable illustrations." Russell Sturgis. Landscape. 1885....

"It is not intended to be a treatise on landscape-painting... nor is it by
any means exclusively a treatise on landscape in nature. My dominant

"Essays on living painters and modern art tendencies, both good and
evil, with frequent allusions to old artists, and some account of men
who are not painters. Thus the article on Charles Keene, the
draughtsman and caricaturist of the London Punch, is admirable art
criticism. There is some excess of enthusiastic praise of art which he
loves and of contempt for artists and critics whom the author looks
upon as wholly astray in their aims and work, but the book is almost
wholly right in its tendency." Russell Sturgis.
