The soul of a man of genius, that visibly divine soul, since it creates like God, is the inner state on which should be modelled the outer state, in order that it should be divine likewise. " Nothing will prevent art from generally playing in society more and more the part of an educational force, conscious of its mission. The time has come to infuse society with art, the ideal, and the beautiful. Society now- a-days tends to depend too much upon instinct. It is saturated with materialism, sens...ualism, and commercialism. Modern art has been used too much as a pretext for all the impure and neurotic ugliness of the times. The prevalence of uninspired realistic and imitative productions — whether impressionist or not — is the disturbing result of what was otherwise a salutary reaction against the old academic formulae. Too many mediocre artists take advantage of the confused ideas of the day, and the concep- tion of art, with its splendid plastic and ideologic possibilities, is seriously compromised thereby.
