Download or read book Talks on Sculpture Classic Reprint written by Lorado Taft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks on Sculpture In pursuing her work, Miss Brinkhaus has always used sculpture, not because she does not believe in pictures, but because she believes in teaching the child the beautiful in form. Commenting on the plan, one of the members of the Chicago Board of Education, a lady who had made a special study of art in the best schools of Europe, said: The presence and the study of sculpture in the schools, not only develops the artistic sense of the pupils and refines their ideals and instincts, but also has a power to impart psychologic insight. When I was in the Paris schools, we were impressed with the fact that the expression of character was the first and most important thing in the study of sculpture. In gazing on the outlines of the sculptured face the young child gradually grows into an understanding of the emotions which are there given form, and thus learns a valuable lesson in the reading of human character. The following is an abstract from a letter received by the Chicago Record Herald from a well-known person in Chicago. Aside from the great historical value, there is another value still greater those weary, overworked young minds taxed to their very utmost in the comprehension of dull studies (for many seem dull to the struggling young mind) all rise as though one, and with an actual cry of joy, seize a study they can grasp, for its beauty has entered through their eyesight, and not through weary words coming to tired brains. And its mission will be proven in the child's later work. At last they know why many studies must be mastered if they ever are to be proficient in one. The child who has grasped the mathematics and grammar of art can never degenerate from the principles of truth and sincerity in his own life's work, no matter what work it is. In connection with the many weeks of work in Chicago, Miss Brinkhaus had the good fortune to persuade Lorado Taft, Chicago's most distinguished sculp tor, to write a series of articles on sculpture. He was asked to write them in a way interesting for children, not above their heads, and yet old enough for the grown-ups. Mr. Taft was given a list of fifty Or more subjects of the casts given by the Chicago record-herald to' the schools of Chicago. Pressure of work did not permit him to write more than twenty-five articles, and these appeared from time to time in the Chicago record-herald, earning the well-deserved praise of old and young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Talks on the Reader's Art What is reading? What is the reader? Why do we read aloud? What is the reader's place among artists? Is the reader's place equal in dignity to that of the painter, the sculptor, the musician? Is Henry Irving as much to Shakespeare as Patti is to Verdi? Was Char lotte Cushman as great an artist as Jenny Lind? Is Paderewski more to Chopin than Bernhardt to Sardou? To answer these questions intelligently we must first note the fact that literature is the most valuable work of man. Literature is the wealth of the ages. It is man's golden heritage. All that man has felt, thought or done is recorded in the libraries of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Classic Point of View: Six Lectures on Painting, Delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago in the Year 1911 I have therefore welcomed the opportunity afforded by theinvitation from The Art Institute Of Chicago to deliver the Scammon Lectures for 1911 to draw up a definitive credo - a detailed and explicit confession Of artistic faith. The following pages will, accordingly, be found to con tain a statement, as clear as I can make it, Of what one painter believes and hopes and fears with regard to painting; Of what he takes to be the malady Of modern art, and Of where he looks for the remedy for it. It would be little less than miraculous if such a statement Of be lief should contain the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It must contain errors, and may contain wrongheadedness. At least it is an honest attempt at a contribution to the truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
