Book Note of the Day: The Royal Road in Art

There is no royal road in art. In this department of life, as in every other, the student must serve before he can govern. He must learn to construct, to draw, to paint, to observe, and select.

—From the preface of Alfred East's, "Landscape Painting in Oil Colour," Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott Company, 1908
