ART AND NATURE
Sir,—Yesterday afternoon while I wai studying with interest an extremely modernistic show of paintings there entered the show (a gleam in his bright blue eye) a gentleman bearing a basket of magnificent roses. These'‘he set up on trestles beneath the pictures, as much as to say. ’’There! Consider the two!" Now, I myself, though disliking the modern trend of art, have a wholesome respect for the creative urge—whether it create ugliness or, by a happy chance, a thing of beauty—so I would remind the gentleman that, comparisons at any time being odious, one does not compare the works of our Creator with those of mere man.—l am, etc., Anonymous.
