Studio: international art (48.1910)

A Picture Collector s Experiment

more applicable to the rhetorical expression in
poetry than the silent suggestion of paint. Such
poetry as Wordsworth's suggests the experiences
of all the senses, whereas a picture, whilst it
includes all these as probable influences in its
creation, suggests nothing but the experience of
the eye. If we are responsive to the scene, our
memory may almost open for us again sensations
of the other senses, and a picture grow fuller for
us as we live with it—and this fulness of art is the
reward for its true students.

The signs of another influence admitted to art
are evident in Judge Evans's collection—that of
the theatre, in which lighting is controlled simply
to imaginative ends, as it often is with Mr.
Ricketts and Mr. Pryde, the qualities in both of
whose art are never easy of definition.

mined by a thousand influences upon his mind
other than those of nature. The mood of
Whistler's art is one of an hour, but with such
a painter as Daubigny it is one of a place. There
is the sense of time given by one school of land-
scape painters, of place by another, and of the
historic associations of a place by yet another
school. These things are of course determined by
temperament, and schools of painting might be
classified in this way more often than they are.
Human associations creep into landscapes in
various degrees and in other ways than the
historical way which we feel, for instance, in
Wilson's pictures j but landscape, at first always
subordinate to the human interest, now sometimes
tries to free itself from this entirely. It becomes
like poetry, simply " emotion remembered in
tranquillity ;" only " emotion " as a word seems
