To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This disgustingly clever performance seemed to the writer like a kind of a "wake" over the corpse of a once noble national art which produced the Augustus and later the St. George and the Moses, which has long been dead but which men refuse to bury. The sculpture of Spain and Portugal shares the clever realism of Italian art, but is less attractive to Anglo-Saxon tastes. The idea of a just balance between the impor- tance of a theme and the labor to be ex- pended in giving it expression seems n...ever to occur to these people. A hideous cross- eyed beggar, covered with warts and wrin- kles seems to them a worthy and stimulating problem to be rendered with topographical accuracy. At the recent Exposition a life- size group representing a struggling peasant in the hands of a brutal dentist confirmed the impression made upon the writer by an equally felicitous work at the Columbian Exposition in which figured an energetic old hag, a fine-toothed comb and an unwill- ing child! Auguste Querol, a sculptor of dignity and distinction was the Spanish juror in Paris in 1900.
