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. See other titles by
this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
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. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
