WHENCE AND WHITHER, BY G. F. WATTS
Solely considered as a chronicle of Watts
the artist, this work has intense value, and
teaches us, as nothing else could, how to
him the emotional and intellectual side of
art was supreme, his sole aim being to ex-
press ideas and feelings, technique and
realism concerning him less than allegory
and symbolism. The absolute sincerity
and single-mindedness of the man works as
a spell. His noblest ambition was to be
accorded space in national buildings
wherein he could paint in fresco splendid
scenes calculated to raise the level of
British art. In the length and breadth of
these volumes we trace his continuous
efforts to see worthy art produced, not
mere wall pictures, but pictures dealing
with the great problems of human exist-
ence. Greek history and Sir Walter Scott
supplied his heroes. “I am a pupil of the
greatest of all sculptors, Pheidias,” he said.
As a running commentary on his famous
paintings, these volumes will have perennial
value and, furthermore, they contain some
exquisite essays on art never before pub-
lished. Of craftsmanship he recorded,
“The work of a good craftsman is as neces-
sary to the life of a fine art as the root is to
the tree.” His ideas flowed like his
friend’s, Sir F. Leighton, with the rush of
a mill-race. “We want the soldiers of art,
not the fencing masters,” was a famous
saying of his. His five years’ labor for the
Benchers of Lincoln’s Inn produced the
best fresco that has been painted since the
best period of Italian art. He has well
been christened “Divine Watts.”
Famous Pictures. By Chas. L. Barstow.
(Century Company, New York). 60 cts.
When such hosts of young people accom-
pany their parents or guardians annually
around the galleries of Europe, a book
such as this should be a great aid in
stimulating their interest in the beautiful.
The hard facts of Murray or Baedeker do
not appeal to children and only in rare
instances are the elders of the party suffi-
ciently versed in art and artists to supply
interesting data as a commentary to the
pictures visited. Mr. Barstow describes
pictures and paintings of all kinds in an
anecdotal manner and appends to each
noted artist a little gallery of his paintings,
naming his masterpieces and stating where
they hang. The book is profusely illus-
trated, contains an appendix describing
the different schools of painting, a glossary
of technical terms, and a chronological
table of painters from Cimabue to Puvis
de Chavannes, besides an index.
