Sir.—The statement of “A Key” that art is of Heaven and not of man is his own, not mine. If Heaven inspired Dantes Inferno.” or the horribl* though nevertheless artistic, conception of the goddess Kali, or reflects the moral and social background of Bocaccio’s “Decameron.” then may I journey elsewhere! If your correspondent has any knowledge ofr psycholo*y. he must admit that all these reflect the worried mind of man. I cannot let pass “A Key’s” classification of artists. In this, he reveals his own unfitness to discuss fundamentals; all artists, in the true sense of toe term, are geniuses in greater or lesser degree.

With method one develops s ®*t-expression. in other words, true art.—Yours, etc., December 14. 1951. G.N.W.
