Every great effort of the human mind attracts those who merely desire their own salvation, and so it is with the artistic effort now.

There had been those stripey, streaky creations of Monet's, which had turned out such trumps; and then the stippled school; and Gauguin. Why, even since the Post-Impressionists there had been one or two painters not to be sneezed at.
