A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From France there has passed into our country a literary current which calls itself Realistic. It prides itself on a close reproduction of reality, because it regards the actually existing and that only as real. In the eyes of the Realist the actual is everything, and he will not hear of its being ennobled and elevated into a higher phase of existence by means of the mysterious process which goes on in the soul of that creator whoq we call an artist. The individual fact reigns supreme; the so-called actual is regarded as the only true thing; the word idea, as defined by Plato, is only known to the representatives of this school in philosophical terminology. They turn the mirror of the artists soul, wherein the world of phenomena ought to be reflected more distinctly, more brightly and purely than in the souls of other men, into a photographers plate; and, when this plate reproduces every spot on the surface of the object, they have attained the aim of their endeavors.
