The Seaforth News, 1930-11-13, Page 7British Art Leads World, Says Duveen in 'New Book He Scores ',Theory that Brutality and Strength Constitute Beauty British art to -day is the best in the world, Sir Joseph Duveen, inter. national art dealer and authority, as- serts in his book 'Thirty Years of British Art," recently published In New York and in London, In .subject as well as,in treatment, Sir Joseph asserts, "British pictures are generally betteryand more attrac- live than contemporary Continental products.. The cult .of the ugly, though not unknown in London, has never been.carried to the lengths that it has in Parte-and Munich." Sir Josephdeclares that he has no sympathy whatever "with the Con- tinental school whose argument it that brutality is strength, and that strength is beauty. Brutal subjects and brutal methods may find approval in certain Continental cliques, but I am quite sure they will never suit the taste of the British and American Public." Says British Art Needs Publicity UTTERLY WORN OUT Women Weakened by Worry. "I don't want to worry, but I can't help it," said a woman recently when told to take things easy and not war- 17. It ie the duty of every woman to save her strength. If: she finds herself getting de5fressed; if she fate utterly worn out; worries over trifles and frequently has nervous headaches, she will be wise to realize her nervous system needs attention, Starved nerves mean a breakdown. To feed the nerves.you must build up the blood. To do this there is nothing to equal Dr. ,Williams' Pink Pills.. These Pills not only enrich the blood. but actually create new blood which feeds and.strengtbene the nerves and banishes the cause of nervous disor- ders. Women cannot always rest wben they should, but every woman can maintain her streagth by the help of Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills, Start tak- ing these Pills now and see how soon improvement will show by increased energy, keen, appetite, strong, steady nerves and robust health, These Pins are sold by medicine dealers or by mail, postpaid, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock British art needs only publicity to ville, Ont. obtain merited support, Sir Joseph as- sorts. The "supply" Of British art, Modern Generation he asserts, "is excellent, but at pres- ent the demand is: much lest than it ought to be. Other governments re- cognize that the art products of their country are, an important asset in the total of . that country's, wealth, and accordingly they give a great deal of encouragement to their artists. Not only do they buy far more than the States does in Great Britain, but they give their artists facilities on nominal terms for exhibiting both at, home and Are Lazy Thinkers Professors Says Country Chil- dren Have More Thorough.

Thus they, increase not Currelly as clangers of the present only their sales at home, but also, day in, an address on "The Relation their sales abroad of the Museum to the Public School," "In some countries, notably In France," Sir Joseph continues, "the export of works of art by living sit from his experience of people the fact fats is fostered and eared for by the public authorities in every possible that home environment was .the ma - way. These exports, amounting to trix which held together knowledge many thousands of pounds each year, gained from academic training. are regarded as being just as import After reviewing the interest in col - ant a source of wealth as any other factions of the world's best art and productions.

So apparent British artists of some of the support they should receive on their own doorstep." Deplores indifference of Public Sir Joseph deplorea the ignorance of the average Englishman regarding contemporary English art as compar- ed to the knowledge of the French- man regarding French art. "Once we leave the relatively small circle of people keenly interested in modern ort," he says, "It is amazing what ignorance exists in England concern- ing artists, whose work is field in the highest esteem, both by the fellow- artists and by profesa ional art critics. Ask the average Englishman to give you the names of a dozen living Bfit- and beauty of it. It is a tragedy In ish painters and a dozen living British eddcbtian to lead children through sculptors, and he is likely to be hard 'put to it to complete the lists." Sir Joseph cites three factors which he considers -vital to the artist in sell- ing his paintings. "These three things are size, subject and price.

In showing the value of exactness, and scoring a tolerance of inaccuracy, the speaker questioned whether stud- ents reading literature with only a e sloppy knowledge of the references in its words did, not lose the meaning a where they w111 be turned over to their Grandparents.'

More pupils failed in mathematics in the New York high schools during 1929 than in any other subject, according to a re- port recently issued. In one school more than half of the pupils failed first -term' algebra, while failures in high 'school mathematics as a whole totaled 26.9 per; cent. On the other hand, less than 5 per cent. failed in music and domestic science and 13 per cent. in Englisb, though foreign languages demanded a student toll second only to mathe- matics.
