Notes on the Science of Picture-Making
This book, which is taken from a series of university lectures, discusses painting as it is practiced among us today. The book closely scrutinizes and tests new principles.
The true logical foundation of the Fine Arts is inextricably connected with their concrete function, materials and processes; and abstract philosophizing, which has neglected the essential factors, produces nothing but fine words, conflicting judgments and bad painting. It is upon the practical sciences of picture-making, of sculpture-making and the like, and not upon any group of abstract ideas, that the aesthetic philosopher of the future will have to erect the complete all-embracing theory which will enable artists to be peaceable and confident in their work.
