...Cezanne is a painter who appeals primarily to the intellect. Despite the fact that his style is one the foundation of which rests in a mental concept of his subject, his feeling for shape and his comprehensive power of suggesting texture and quality, serve to strengthen and support my belief in his capacity for influencing the senses. Like most great painters, Cezanne succeeds in striking a just balance between the sense and the intellect...
...organized political factions, each committed to a unified program and philosophy. Two such groups might be Fabian socialists or "gradualists," and "New Deal liberals."

There must be some left over, to be placed in the tabernacle on the altar. These...
...however, Japanese art holds no interest for you, it is possible to enter the museum library and spend a little time with the four watercolors which are now being shown, one by Hopper and the remaining three by Sargent. The Hopper landscape serves only to heighten my belief in the excellence of the artist; the solid buildings, the clear pigment, and the clean spaciousness within which each part of the painting exists, are the work of a master painter. No element in Hopper's piece is created "in vacuo"; the houses, mountains, and the water are each related...
