The American muralist and critic Kenyon Cox applies the principles of his Classic Point of View to particular painters and periods. He writes on the gulf between modern artists and their public, on Jean-François Millet, on Raphael’s mastery of design, on the illusion that art progresses, and on two contrasting ways of painting.
