About this book
William Morris to Whistler is a set of papers and addresses on art and craft and the commonweal by Walter Crane. The text says constant toleration and familiarity with hideous surroundings brutalizes and blunts the perceptions. The text says art, like literature, may be said to be divided into prose, poetry, and penny-a-lining, with the creative, the pictorial, and the pot-boiling kinds as equivalents.
The writer says a presentation of Whistler dominating and overtopping everybody reminds one of the method of the mural artists of ancient Egypt. The text says that to make the building really expressive, a work of art in short, something more than training and manual skill, something above learned tradition, and beyond even organized co-operative labour is wanted. The text asks what makes the great difference between ancient and modern architecture.
