Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from High Art in Low Countries: Being the Inaugural Address Delivered at the Opening of the Wisbech Industrial and Fine Art Exhibition, and 7th May, 1866 This title, as you will perceive, will at once give me a double limitation of my subject, for all art is not high, and all countries are not low. We shall find the limitation convenient, and the subject so limited will be suitable. For what we want to do - what is desired by the promoters of this Exhibition - is, I suppose, to raise the character of local art as high as possible in a country, which, though not morally nor socially, yet geographically would be technically described as low. On this title, then. High Art in Low Countries, I respectfully request you to allow a portion of your thoughts to rest for a few minutes; while with the other portion you accompany me in a preliminary discussion of the meaning, and of some of the principles, of Art. Now there is one preliminary question which stares us in the face. What do we mean by Art? And though this is a simple question, I am not sure that it is the easier to answer on that account: in fact, it is not unfrequently just the simple preliminary questions which are least likely to meet with satisfactory answers.
