Excerpt from The Art Reader: Prepared for Supplementary Reading in Public and Private Schools, With Illustrations of Some of the Masterpieces of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture

N O attempt has been made in this Art Reader to pre sent a text-book on the History of Art, nor does there seem to be at the present time any desire on the part of the public schools to make the methodical study of art a part of the curriculum.

There exists, however, in the schools an interest, which is constantly increasing, in the subject of art, and an earnest desire to become familiar with the great works in painting, sculpture, and architecture.

This interest has shown itself in an effort on the part of the schools to acquire artistic reproductions of these masterpieces for the walls of the rooms, both for use as decorations and for study as objects of instruction.

To aid in this study some art literature, explanatory and historical, seems necessary, and this book is published to supply in a measure this need.
