What Is a Picture? (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from What Is a Picture?

HE following is an attempt to explain to the uninitiated what a picture is. The task is a peculiar one, and though the writer hopes that he may not fail in his endeavour, he is not too sanguine of success. He consoles himself, how ever, with the belief that if he has not accomplished what he has tried, his explanations, comparisons, and theories may put the novice on the road to Art comprehension in the widest signification of the word. Though he uses the word Art in various senses, the reader might kindly bear in mind that it is generally employed as meaning pictorial art.
