[Footnote 77: This is, I presume, Hegel's way of putting the simple fact, that much of the process of artistic production is unconscious. One man instinctively draws, or picks up his notes on the piano, another cannot. I think Hegel rather refers to this _original_ talent than the much more important one in which genius, right into maturity, rides over difficulties without knowing how it does so. Such happy or even miraculous effects--such as artists sometimes playfully call them--are obviously in part, if only in part, the result of profound artistic experience. He is dealing almost exclusively with the natural bias, which makes one man naturally an artist, whether creative or executant, and is absent from another. He hardly approaches the question what constitutes the artist of genius as contrasted with the man of natural talent.] [Footnote 78: This confirms the conclusion above.] [Footnote 79: _Für sich._ If merely admired as imitation and nothing more.] [Footnote 80: _Zur Ekelhaftigkeit._ "Sickeningly like" is Professor Bosanquet's closer translation. The expression "damnably like" is not unknown.] [Footnote 81: I think with Professor Bosanquet that _phantastischen_ is here not "fantastic" but strictly derived from _Phantasie_ in its sense of imagination. "Completely," of course, as involving no direct imitation of Nature.] [Footnote 82: Formal, _i.e._, implying no creative supplement from the artist, purely mechanical.] [Footnote 83: It would be both instructive and interesting to discuss if, and how far, and by virtue of what, that distinct type of modern art known as "still life," such as a few objects of the library, or even a shell or two and so on up to more important organic life was excluded from this condemnation. It is quite clear that Ruskin would have a good deal to say that would imply important qualification.] [Footnote 84: _Begeisterung._ I think this must be the meaning. Inspiration hardly makes sense. It is art that is inspired, not those who attend the celebration.] [Footnote 85: _Im Innersten_ is I think here obviously to be taken with the verb, not with the substantives.] [Footnote 86: _Ueberhaupt._] [Footnote 87: The meaning of _in diesem Gebiete_ is, I presume, the actual world. But if so it is simply otiose, and I have left it out.] [Footnote 88: _Bestimmung._ The translation given appears to be the sense, though we should rather say weaken a _man_ from the pursuit of a definite course. Professor Bosanquet, who translates the word "aim" a little lower down, evades the word here.] [Footnote 89: _Raisonnirende_ here and _raissonnement_ below have a depreciatory sense--and signify ordinary reasoning in the first instance and the methods of the popular secularist in the second.]
