First let us recognize that there is very little resemblance between the primitive African and the Negro in the U.S. and West Indies. The latter are civilized and educated people, having lived the Western way of life for five or six generations.

Hals's fellow citizens found him "talented" only, and his latter-day reputation has suffered at the hands of art lecturers, who used to discuss his work as a foothill below the summit that Dutch art reached in Rembrandt. In reality, Hals stands halfway between Rembrandt's brooding darkness and Rubens' brilliant dash, also takes his place with them, in retrospect, as one of the best painters that ever lived...
