I have tried to indicate the importance of art and to plead for the artist; but in these days not so many know what art really is, nor do so many who claim to be artists understand what they are claiming. At the very best most of them are craftsmen, technicians, even mechanics, but this is not the same as being artists. At the worst they have no technique, no talent, no sanity.
