Books with title Child-life in Art

This Native American history states: "You will like to know that the man who wrote these true stories is himself one of the people he describes so pleasantly and so lovingly for you. He hopes that when you have finished this book, the Indians will seem to you very real and very friendly. He is not willing that all your knowledge of the race that formerly possessed this continent should come from the lips of strangers and enemies, or that you should think of them as blood-thirsty and treacherous, as savage and unclean."

The town-crier has rung his bell at a distant corner, and little Annie stands on her father's door-steps, trying to hear what the man with the loud voice is talking about. Let me listen too. O, he is telling the people that an elephant, and a lion, and a royal tiger, and a horse with horns, and other strange beasts from foreign countries, have come to town, and will receive all visitors who choose to wait upon them!

Excerpt from The Child in ArtUR subject is the Child in Art. The word Art conjures up the figure of Greece, mother of arts; and yet here we meet with disappointment. We behold heroes, gods, and goddesses, but we look in vain for the child. We realise what Mr. Ruskin calls the singular defect in Greek art,'1 namely, the absence of child hood. This defect' is common, not only to Greek art, but to all the early art of the Eastern world.Such is the fact. Can it be that the explanation is, as has been suggested, that the art of an epoch is unconsciously the reflection of its religious beliefs?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
