A Layman in the Field of Art
Parsons, Alice Beal | June 18, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "None So Blind," by Albert Parker Fitch. Fitch is a layman in the field of art. When he tells that a girl's hand lay in her lover's like a little fluttering bird it is remembered in extenuation that most men are singularly insensitive outside their own habitual preoccupations, and that in this case a distinguished educator has mastered only a few stops of the instrument of his ideas. Within the limitations indicated "None So Blind" is a sincere and frequently an intelligent book. While it doesn't accept the Emersonian theory of compensation, it does quote Emerson, Plato, Moliere, and other classical authors frequently.
