	William Morris - The Socialist Ideal: Art
		Art was once the common possession of the whole people; it was the rule in the Middle Ages that the produce of handicraft was beautiful.
		Doubtless, there were eyesores in the palmy days of medieval art, but these were caused by destruction of wares, not as now by the making of them: it was the act of war and devastation that grieved the eye of the artist then; the sacked town, the burned village, the deserted fields.
		Art is kept alive by a small group of artists working in a spirit quite antagonistic to the spirit of the time; and they also suffer from the lack of co-operation which is an essential lack in the art of our epoch.

		In Huntsman and Dogs of 1891, set in a cheerless autumnal landscape, a sullen-faced young hunter, pausing on a hillside leveled by timbering and flened by fire, epitomizes man as a despoiler of nature, killing for trophies rather than food.
		He was and is Russia's foremost national artist, whose oeuvre adheres to the requisities for national art as proposed by the noted painter and art historian Igor Grabar: it must reflect the spirit of the people, expressing their thoughts and aspirations; it must excite; and it must be understandable to the people" (Parker, 1).

	ArtLex on Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		At least art involves a degree of human involvement -- through manual skills or thought -- as with the word "artificial," meaning made by humans instead of by nature.
		Early in the twentieth century, for instance, artists expanded the definition of art to include such things as abstraction, collage, and readymades.
		Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.

		The Art Village was the nucleus of the social life for the colony.
		As was the case for all the art colonies under discussion here, the focus at Shinnecock was clearly on Impressionism--on light, spontaneity, and high-key chromatics, all brought to bear on the landscape.

		The daughter of an affluent Pittsburgh businessman, whose French ancestry had endowed him with a passion for that country, she studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and then travelled extensively in Europe, finally settling in Paris in 1874.
		In that year she had a work accepted at the Salon and in 1877 made the acquaintance of Degas, with whom she was to be on close terms throughout his life.
		His art and ideas had a considerable influence on her own work; he introduced her to the Impressionists and she participated in the exhibitions of 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1886, refusing to do so in 1882 when Degas did not.
