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."

"I don't want to worry, but I can't

save her strength. If: she finds herself
getting de5fressed; if she fate utterly

will be wise to realize her nervous

ought to be. Other governments re-

country are, an important asset in the

accordingly they give a great deal of
encouragement to their artists. Not

States does in Great Britain, but they
give their artists facilities on nominal

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

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. It
