Abstract

Art Study in France
November 8, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

Young Frenchmen are teaching their age, as a sort of lesson in sociology, a very convenient recognition of the animal part of our nature, which they insist upon carrying quite on the surface, patent and unashamed; but one cannot explain in detail. There are Celtic cemeteries, Druid altars, a mouldy landscape full of bits, no British tourists and fish-women. The artist, if he happens to speak the real aboriginal pre-Caesarian Celto-Breton, will have no difficulty in making an arrangement with the best qenre models in Europe at a franc an hour.
