Those seen appeared to be all warriors, naked from the breech-clout upward, their skins glaring with pigments. Neither woman nor child could I see among them. Had the other waggons been captured, there would not have been so many of the captors clustered around this particular one. In all likelihood, the vehicle had been coming up behind the others?
They sat under a shelving rock, on the surface of which were still visible some old Bushman paintings, their red and black pigments having been preserved through long years from wind and rain by the overhanging ledge; grotesque oxen, elephants, rhinoceroses, and a one-horned beast, such as no man ever has seen or ever shall. The girls sat with their backs to the paintings.
It is a curious reflection, however, that in spite of all the later improvements in the fictile art in spite of wheels and moulds, pastes and glazes, stamps and pigments, and all the rest of it the most primitive methods of the first potter are still in use in many countries, side by side with the most finished products of modern European skill and industry.
Philip was no longer interested in art; it seemed to him that he was able to enjoy beauty with greater force than when he was a boy; but art appeared to him unimportant. He was occupied with the forming of a pattern out of the manifold chaos of life, and the materials with which he worked seemed to make preoccupation with pigments and words very trivial. Lawson had served his turn.
They used pigments and brushes, canvas and oil, yet the masterpieces of each are readily distinguishable by any one slightly familiar with their styles. It is precisely the same with pianists. All of us have arms, fingers, muscles and nerves, but what we have to say upon the keyboard should be an expression of our own minds, not a replica of some stereotyped model.
Hunt was in sympathy with the methods we ourselves were in the habit of using when we painted butterflies and seaweeds, placing perfectly pure pigments side by side, without any nonsense about chiaroscuro. This large, bright, comprehensive picture made a very deep impression upon me, not exactly as a work of art, but as a brilliant natural specimen.
The thing so far surpassed anything I had ever dreamed or seen; and the color well those artists accused of over-coloration could not have over-colored if they had tried. Pigments have not been invented that could do it!
The foot of the cross is indicated by the star beta, also known as Albireo, one of the most charming of all the double stars. The three-inch amply suffices to reveal the beauty of this object, whose components present as sharp a contrast of light yellow and deep blue as it would be possible to produce artificially with the purest pigments.
The paint on Madame Bonanni's face was a thick mask of grease, pigments and powder; the wig was the most evident wig that ever was; the figure seemed of gigantic girth compared with the woman's height, though that was by no means small; the eye lids were positively unwieldy with paint and the lashes looked like very thick black horsehairs stuck in with glue, in rows.
The girl stood at her knee. For the first time the fugitive noticed the face of this slender girl no, it was the eyes alone that he saw, for the face was grossly covered with pigments. "What has happened?" asked the tall woman gently. "Have you have you run away from home, my boy?" "How long have I been here?" There was a suggestion of alarm in the abrupt question.
