The article discusses some recent happenings in the field of art. The same revelation is made in author Edwin Atlee Barber's book Majolica of Mexico as in several recent monographs on Spanish colonial architecture. The vigorous creativeness of Spanish-American craftsmen, contrasts with the meagerness of English colonial arts and crafts. The reader of this book discovers that a beautiful fictile art, based originally upon the practices and the makers of Spanish influence later by importations of Chinese and Japanese wares, flourished in Mexico for about three centuries. Le Musee du Louvre forms a series of five volumes by the curators. The present number, by Jean Guiffrey, describes the paintings, drawings, and engravings, with 105 illustrations.
