In completing this survey of one who in his art is still of to-day, I have been poignantly con scious throughout of the fact that posterity has an inconvenient habit of reversing the judgments delivered Upon creative artists by their contem poraries; yet to trim deftly one's convictions in the h0pe that they may elastically conform to any one of a number of possible verdicts to be expected from a capricious futurity, is probably as dangerous a proceeding as to avow, without equivocation or compromise, one's precise beliefs.
