"A more original, a better informed, a more suggestive, and let us add, a more amusing work on the art of to-day, we have never read than this volume."--_Glasgow Herald_. "Impressionism, to use that word, in the absence of any fitter one,--the impressionism which makes his own writing on art in this volume so effective, is, in short, the secret both of his likes and dislikes, his hatred of what he thinks conventional and mechanic, together with his very alert and careful evaluation of what comes home to him as straightforward, whether in Reynolds, or Rubens, or Ruysdael, in Japan, in Paris, or in modern England."--Mr. Pater in _The Chronicle_. "As an art critic Mr. George Moore certainly has some signal advantages. He is never dull, he is frankly personal, he is untroubled by tradition."--_Westminster Gazette_. "Mr. Moore, in spite of the impediments that he puts in the way of his own effectiveness, is one of the most competent writers on painting that we have."--_Manchester Guardian_. "His [Mr. Moore's] book is one that cannot fail to be much talked about; and everyone who is interested in modern painting will do well to make acquaintance with its views."--_Scottish Leader_. "As everybody knows by this time, Mr. Moore is a person of strong opinions and strong dislikes, and has the gift of expressing both in pungent language."--_The Times_. "Of his [Mr. Moore's] sincerity, of his courage, and of his candour there can be no doubt.... One of the most interesting writers on art that we have."--_Pall Mall Gazette_. THE SCOTT LIBRARY.
