...painting were done by a brush alone instead of the individual holding that brush, Winslow Homer's watercolors, now on exhibit in Fogg Museum, would justly deserve to be called great art. In fact, if his paintings were the only ones being shown; if there were no means of making a comparative judgment, it is possible that a person could be fooled into believing that Homer, the old American stand-by, was equal to his popular reputation.

That most of the paintings were framed and hung by members of the Museum Class contributes not a little toward making the exhibit something more than a vapid supplement to an afternoon tea party. There is nothing in the whole collection reminiscent of the phrase "art for art's sake," that syrupy expression which connotes lack of sincerity: in short, lack of something to say. Therefore, those people who attend art exhibits because it is the thing...
