Homer gained popularity, and justly so, because of his unusual technical facility, and his paintings prove him to be a fine craftsman. Really good art, however, does not consist in mere excellence of handling a give medium. Homer uses color well, and his paintings are beautiful, but there is no mark of actual and reverberating content in his work. Marin, on the other hand, with his contrapuntal placement of emphatic colors, arrives at an emotional shorthand which leads him to pointed interpretations of scenes and aspects of nature. His "Mt.

Once he Jumped onto the arm of his chair to illustrate that America was on the economic precipice and the ways in which a fall could be avoided...
...young people today say He hasn't an open mind because He doesn't do things in a modern way. If He did, I suppose they would have girl babies born with hairline eyebrows, purple lips and green fingernails, and I don't know what color toenails; but they are born the same as they were 20,000 years ago. And the boy babies, if God had been open-minded, would be born with one shoulder lower than the other, so they could more conveniently lean on a shovel...
