Excerpt from Art and Man: Comparative Art Studies All my life I have been interested in art and in geog raphy. My studies in both fields remained as separate pursuits until about the year 1890, when I began to make a small collection of Japanese pictures. At about that time also I paid several visits to the Musée de Saint Germain and studied the French prehistoric remains. Shortly afterwards, I received from Dr. Vincent, surgeon of the third Peary Arctic expedition, a gift of several little Eskimo statuettes. Gradually I became impressed with the fact that there are certain resemblances be tween these arts, and this led me to an attempt to find out whether there were any such resemblances to other arts. The matter expanded continuously, but it took some years for cold facts to teach me that the fine. Arts were a tremendous field, covering the entire earth, and that, apparently, no one had realized this before.
