THOUGHTS :.
jare: FELT, having thought, and having read (and hav-

ing argued), and having written and re-written, and hav-

ing read Eli Faure’s ‘‘History of Art,’’ and there having
found confirmation of the conclusions set forth in this article, the
writer believes that these conclusions are, if not entirely Faure’s, so
entangled with them that the writer is unable to separate the two.
All existence deals with cause and effect; if this and this had not
happened first, that and that could not have happened later on. In
Art there are two big causes before and two big effects after pro-
ducing a so-called ‘‘work of Art.’ The Artist and the Motif—the
causes; the ‘‘work of Art’ and its reaction upon the on-looker—
the effects.
To the Artist, Art is the establishing of a sentiment in the on-look-
ers mind by an accurate and “‘live”’ creation of the analyzed Motif.
It is the record of the Artist’s complete experience derived from any
completed action in life. It is the true record of that completed action.
