Overview

Excerpt from British Contemporary Artists But though so different in many respects they are alike in one -their subject is mankind, and their works are all more or less rich in those human elements which are the very life of all great art, whether it be music or poetry or painting. Whether we look at those spiritual conceptions in which Watts has suggested the profoundest problems of human life, or wander in that romantic wonderland where the deli cate fancy of Burne-jones lived and revelled; whether we visit with alma-tadema a Roman villa in the days of the Caesars, or, with Orchardson, a Salon in Paris in those of Louis XVI; whether we drink the classic air with Leighton or the very breath of daily life with Millais, we are never far from our kind - its beauty or its char acter, its hopes or its fears, the sights of its eyes or the dreams of its imagination.
