The flow of art

the long version

"This book collects forty years of writing (1913-52) by a preeminent supporter and explicator of modern art. Henry McBride, an art critic for the New York Sun and the Dial, gave valuable encouragement and publicity to many in the art world, including Thomas Eakins, John Kane, Gertrude Stein, and Walt Disney. His articles, conversational and lightly humorous in tone, form a personal chronicle of the artistic life of his time - a time when modernism in the arts was tracing its historic course from a coterie interest to a mainstream cultural force."--BOOK JACKET.
