The allegorical and the primitive subjects failed to carry, first because they had little or no real significance, and secondly because the spirit behind them was lacking in appeal and, occasionally, in sincerity. In one regard Frank Brangwyn was more fortunate than the other painters.
They were willing to accept that or anything else, except one thing. "Lot of places on this planet where a thing that size could be hidden," Tom Brangwyn said, undismayed. "A planet's a mighty big place." "It could be under water, in one of the seas," Piet Dawes, the banker, suggested.
Thomas Denby; got out, went up the white marble steps, rang the bell, and was admitted into the narrow but charming hall dim turquoise-blue velvet panelled into the walls, an etching or two: Whistler, Brangwyn by a trim parlour-maid. Ten generations, at least, of trim parlour-maids had opened the door for Mr. McCain.
Brangwyn, a lady in pink by Mr. Lavery, and a fisherman by Mr. Cayley Robinson. A number of Whistler's Venetian etchings may also be seen here, and much characteristic work by Mr. Pennell. Here too are the "Burghers of Calais" and the "Thinker" of Rodin, while a nude by Fantin Latour should be sought for.
Why didn't the artist have as much sense as the man of affairs who pays Art Smith to come out here and fly before the multitude?"

They weren't alive. And the necks of the two flamingoes never could have met in the curves that Brangwyn gave them. This very failure, amusing as it was and hardly detracting from the effect of his work as a whole, was another proof that he was an instinctive painter, who relied for his guidance on feeling.
He wanted to tell them in one quick sentence and get it over with. He couldn't, any more than he could force himself to squeeze the trigger of a pistol he knew would blow up in his hand. "Wait a minute, gentlemen." He finished the brandy, and held out the glass to Tom Brangwyn, nodding toward the pitcher.
Anything new is a departure, and a departure from the standard in the selection of a subject is as dangerous as a departure in the cut of a coat or the color of one's gloves or was as dangerous until Sargent, Abbey, Frank Brangwyn, and men of that ilk smashed the current idols and taught men a new religion.
