Excerpt from The Subjective View of Landscape Painting: With Special Reference to J. H. Weissenbruch and Illustrations From Works of His in Canada The study of nature must be the basis of all art, but it is only the foundation, and on this the artist must build. If these men had given us merely a correct topographical view of what they saw, their memory would fade with that of many other clever craftsmen. But they give us much more, for with this truthfulness to nature, subordinated to higher ends, they show to us their distinct individual interpretations, uncon ciously revealing, through the gift of imagination, the effect produced on their own feelings, and awakening a responsive echo in the observers.
