The Modern Work Of Art, As I

The Peculiarity Of Sculpture Is That It Creates A Three-dimensional Object In Space. Painting May Strive To Give On A Two-dimensional Plane, The Illusion Of Space, But It Is Space Itself As A Perceived Quantity That Becomes The Peculiar Concern Of The Sculptor. We May Say That For The Painter Space Is A Luxury; For The Sculptor It Is A Necessity.

It Was Play Rather Than Work Which Enabled Man To Evolve His Higher Faculties - Everything We Mean By The Word 'culture'.

Art In Its Widest Sense Is The Extension Of The Personality: A Host Of Artificial Limbs.

The Sense Of Historical Continuity, And A Feeling For Philosophical Rectitude Cannot, However, Be Compromised.

This Is The Essential Distinction--even Opposition--between The Painting And The Film: The Painting Is Composed Subjectively, Thefilm Objectively. However Highly We Rate The Function Of The Scenario Writer--in Actual Practice It Is Rated Very Low--we Must Recognize That The Film Is Not Transposed Directly And Freely From The Mind By Means Of A Docile Medium Like Paint, But Must Be Cut Piece-meal Out Of The Lumbering Material Of The Actual Visible World.
