This article focuses on the books "Western Art and the New Era," by Katherine S. Dreier and "American Artists," by Royal Cortissoz. The student of art criticism in America will find these books invaluable, they should be read together. Miss Dreier, though she begins with Assyria and Egypt and traverses European painting, is focused upon the experimental work of today. She traces the vital chain of Western art from Byzantium to post-impressionism, developing her thesis that painting is expressive of life, that art is always in the making, and that being an expression of different people in different times and places, art must always find new forms.
