The Art in Painting

by Albert Coombs Barnes

Excerpt from The Art in Painting The summaries of characteristics of the work of the artists treated, and the analyses of the particular paintings mentioned, are compiled exclusively from my own observations recorded in notes made in front of the paintings themselves. The plan thus offers a method of approach, as well as a test of its value in the presence of objective facts.
