Abstract

This Week. Portrait of Himself
Kirchwey, Freda | November 7, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

Was ever a man so outrageously contradictory as Art Young, so simple and so wise, so grave and so funny, so tolerant and so didactic, so naive and so knowing, so banal and so impish, the opposites could be extended indefinitely. In the book "On My Way" he has written and drawn a record of his thoughts, feelings, and recollections during six months of the past year. He is determined to omit nothing because it is trivial, nor does he. He includes much that is dull and flat, but next to an uninspired bit of reporting will be set down an anecdote or an observation buttered thick with native wit. And here and there is revealed a nice little streak of penetrating pessimism.
