BY GEORG GRONAU. Art, like the sea, has its periods of ebb and flow. Surely, if perhaps not with absolute regularity, this phenomenon repeats itself: the development of a strong naturalistic movement, which in due course dies quite away, while the new-found treasures of genuine observation, brought in by the flood, remain behind. In other words, the impetuosity of individual genius is followed by an exhibition of the shallowness of superficiality and pretension. Naturalism is inborn in the German. That which made our art great in the past was, in the first place, its wonderful faithfulness of observation, and its capacity for demonstrating the truth without faltering. Indeed, one might almost reproach the great Masters of German art--even Diirer and Holbein, if there were any one courageous enough to do so--with the fact that they directed their efforts solely to the representation of strict reality. But what made their period so grand and imposing was this: the great Masters found means whereby to express just that which they meant to express. The conditions which brought about a complete change in aesthetic ideas in Germany were very peculiar. The theory of art generally inculcated was an ideal conception of things, represented by classic work; and then for a long period prejudice vetoed art of all sorts. When this attitude was abandoned a fresh start was made, but not from that source of all true art--Nature herself. Artists wanted to be German and Christian, and began to be enthusiastic over primitive Italian and German art, proceeding from one imitation to another. The reali. . .
