1920.

1914. Seven university lectures on the technical beauties of painting. The lectures included in this volume were delivered to students of Princeton College, Columbia College and Rutgers College. Van Dyke writes that modern painting is so largely a matter of taste that no one, not even an artist, is allowed to dogmatize about it, or lay down arbitrary rules for its production. Sometimes a candid statement of one's view or preference helps others to a better understanding or a keener enjoyment, which is his intent with the publication of this book.

1914. Critical notes on the Rijks Museum, the Hague Museum, Hals Museum. Van Dyke, with his belief that the enjoyment of beauty is one of the highest aims of human existence, attempts to deliver a guidebook that speaks about the man behind the paintbrush; deals with pictures from the painter's point of view, rather than that of the ecclesiastic, the archaeologist, or the literary romancer; has some proportion in the selection and criticism of pictures; with a critical basis for discrimination between the good and the bad; and that shall, for these reasons be of service to the traveling public as well as to the art student.
