THE PERSONALITY OF WATTS . . 221 Candid Word to the English Reader, by way of Preface A PREVIOUS look of my assembled essays On Books and Arts touched on Pictorial Art, the Stage, and Literature. This one ventures to be altogether about Pictorial Art, with this reservation always that to my mind no writing about any Art is other than pedantic, academic, or fragmentary me moires pour servir, at the most if it is not based on vivid, irrepressible interest in the Life we know. The general reader, here in England to whom this candid word is with much esteem addressed does not care greatly for the writing that he calls Art Criticism and often I agree with him. But his ideas of what Art Criticism is, are apt to be narrow. To two fields he limits it. With him, Art Criticism all Criticism, indeedis primarily fault-finding. Secondarily, it may be also, ix A CANDID WORD per adventure, investigation. But the investi gation that is held to be creditable to have conferred distinction is generally investiga tion into minor facts little, disputed points that have the interest of uncertainty and puzzle. The German, perhaps, is responsible for introducing, or for making much of, that order of Criticism which consists of slow or fevered debate, between two or more learned persons seldom endowed with any conspicuous faculty for Writing, as to whether this most second-rate painter or that one did veritably succeed in being the author of this or that most second-rate work. Masterpieces do not very often require or invite this method of treatment and I confess that masterpieces seem to me worthiest of study, and likeliest to inspire delight. But this method this order of Criticism has, in some measure, caught on amongst us, because in England the contribution of an idea is ever less welcome, as it is also ever less easy, than the contribution of a fact. Another order of investigation exists, never theless, although it may not be so well assured of the every-day readers respect. I speak now of investigation in the sense of an A CANDID WORD elucidation of qualities, an analysis of tem perament, a presentation, in full light, of a character or an achievement, an aim or a feat. That, in the instinctive opinion of the every day reader, has not been, and cannot be, any great part of Criticism. It is a something, indeed, scarcely conceived of by him because it is the Criticism of the creative Writer the criticism of Coleridge, Baudelaire, Gautier, Zola, Anatole France...
