Excerpt from The Subjective View of Landscape Painting: With Special Reference to J. H. Weissenbruch and Illustrations From Works of His in Canada
The writer hopes that this little pamphlet may prove of some interest to lovers of art, and, perhaps, may bring some information that may be of use to those commencing to study pictures, and save them some time and trouble by bringing before them, in compact form, the opinions of critics and writers about painting. He has always, himself, been very much obliged to anyone who has helped to shorten the road for him.
Regarding the opinions expressed about the seven Dutch artists spoken of in these pages as the great forces in modern Dutch art, he has made a study of their works for some years, and is firmly of the opinion that seldom in the world's history has a greater group of individual artists appeared. He believes that this will be the ultimate opinion of the public.
The frontispiece, from a photograph taken in 1900, shows J. H. Weissenbruch and the picture he painted for the Paris Universal Exhibition. The other portrait is from a water colour drawing by Josef Israels, made some years ago.
