Catalogue of Paintings by JeanCharles Cazin: Exhibited Under the Management of the American Art Association (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Catalogue Of Paintings By JeanCharles Cazin: Exhibited Under The Management Of The American Art Association To Analyze The Moral Tendencies Of Contemporary French Painting, To Set Forth The Modifications Of Vision And Of Ideals Which Have Come To Pass Within The Last Thirty Years, To Characterize Even Briey The Aims And Talents Of The Most Prominent Amongst The French Painters, Would Be An Agreeable Undertaking But Unless The Subject Were Treated With Considerable Development It Would Scarcely Be Intelligible, Much Less Edifying, To The General Reader. In Presence Of The Multitude Of Things That Appeal To The Attention And Interest Of The Men Of To Day, Simplification And Elimination Of All That Is Unneces Sary Are Imperative. With The Rivalries And Discussionsof Schools The General Reader Has No Concern; From The Influences And Suggestions Of Passing Fashion It Is Less Easy For Him To Escape; Nevertheless It Will Be Our En Deavor In The Following Pages To Neglect Entirely Conven Tional Opinions And Current Estimations And To Speak As Concisely As Is Consistent With Clearness Of The Talents And Works Of A Chosen Few Contemporary French Painters Whose Personality Or Whose Achievements Have Given Them Absolute Distinction. Such Men Are Mm. Puvis De Cha Vannes, J. C. Cazin, Degas, Rafiaelli, Aime Motot, Elie Delaunay, DagnanBouveret.
