Author Description

Excerpt from Pots and Pans: Or Studies in Still-Life Painting No further preface is necessary. I Wish, however, in this place to acknowledge my indebtedness to those who have aided me in my work. To Professor Frank J ewett Mather, J r., Who read my manuscript and offered many valuable suggestions for its improvement, I owe many thanks. His brilliant style as a writer and his keen critical discernment have been a constant inspiration to me, just as the supreme accomplishment of the still-life pictures of Emil Carlsen has given me that conviction of the aesthetic importance of still-life painting Which I needed for my work.
