Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Card
A visit to any modern French Art Gallery will reveal a number of canvases daubed all over with little patches of primary colours, almost as though the picture had been painted with confetti. Assuming you are unaccustomed to this form of application, you Will declare against it with insular promptitude. But 'give the picture a chances step back and view it from the far wall, and like as not you will find that these chaotic colours have blended and co mingled, have ceased to exist as individual items and become merged in a single statement of meaning the artist intended to convey.
It is not always want of a single material that persuades the fashioning of a patchwork quilt. Patchwork, in its way, is as complete as are the green plush curtains that hang so soberly from the lacquered pole in your neigh bour's parlour.
