About this book
Human Intercourse is by Philip Gilbert Hamerton. A dedication to the memory of Emerson speaks of one whose voice the author never heard and to whom he never addressed a letter. The text says culture is like wealth: it makes us more ourselves and enables us to express ourselves.
The text says Claude helped Turner to become Turner, and that in complete isolation from art a man does not express his originality as a landscape-painter. A passage says it is quite fair to say that both the English and the Continental habit miss the truth, one in falling short of it, the other in going beyond it. The text says the Alps are not nice and not jolly, and that far more powerful adjectives are only the precise truth in this instance.
