Bursts of sunlight, storms,atmospheres, all pleased him. Wyllie is a painterof more than average merit. There were two sources from which theEnglish landscapists drew. By dint of native force andgrace he made rules unto himself. He was a pupil ofHudson, but owed his art to many sources. He was a very cunning observer, and knew how toarrange for grace of line and charm of color. The Landseer animal has too much sentiment about it. Then followed Lawrence(1769-1830), a mixture of vivacious style and rather meretriciousmethod. There are comparatively few English pictures in America. He is draughtsman,colorist, brushman--in fact, almost everything in art that can becultivated. Bursts of sunlight, storms,atmospheres, all pleased him. In grace ofform and feeling of motion he was excellent. There is no doubt about the sincerity thatentered into this movement. Hence the name pre-Raphaelitism, and the signatures ontheir early pictures, P. Even here he was more impressiveby his broad truth of facts than by his artistic feeling. His pictures areusually small, but exquisite in delicacy and decorative charm. He was a painter of ability, if at times hot in color and dry inhandling. This is quite as true of his technic as of his point of view. The work is perhaps correct enough, but the aim of it is somewhatafield from pure painting. Not always profound in matter he generallymanages to be entertaining in method. The work is perhaps correct enough, but the aim of it is somewhatafield from pure painting. Copley was more ofan American than West, and more of a painter. Hornel, Lavery, Melville, Crawhall, Roche, Lawson,McBride, Morton, Reid Murray, Spence, Paterson. In the Louvre there are some indifferent Constables and some good Boningtons. He disliked all conventionalities and formulas.
