Excerpt from What Is Art, or Art Theories and Methods Concisely Stated
The writer has often been asked by persons desirous of gaining a general idea of art within a brief space, where a work answering their purpose could be found. In the hope of meeting this want of a class which is constantly increasing in the community, he ventures to put into print a lecture which has been given with acceptance at the Essex Institute, the Massachusetts Normal Art School, the Boston Art Club, Bowdoin College, and several similar institutions. That this essay was not originally prepared for publication will explain, in part, certain passages more appropriate for oral delivery than for print.
