The article throws light on the art works of Frank Duveneck, a painter. The greatness of his art is best understood by the student of painting; also that, for a while, Duveneck was almost lost sight of by the public, but this book does not help to explain why. Praise alone does not give the clue to a man's art, nor disconnected facts to his personality. in one sentence Duveneck, as a boy in Covington, is seeing something of the wounded and the Negro refugees of the Civil War, and in the next he is modeling and carving and decorating for the Benedictine Fathers in the same town, with not so much as a suggestion of how it came about.
