1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wisdom from an old teacherBy D. RoperAfter a few decades of hiatus; I began painting again. As part of my self-instruction; I collect art books; both the instructive kind and the art history kind. Hawthorne is consider one of the master instructors from the last century. He was the founder of the Cape Cod school; which was later continued by Henry Hensche who married a girl from this town and spent his final years here. I never knew about Hensche until after his death and thereby never had the opportunity to take a course with him. So; I had an interest in Hawthorne beyond his teachings. (Theres a little book by Hensche thats also available.)The book is comprised of his instructions as remembered by his students. Much of his philosophy in the book comes through the form of critiques of student work. Thats where the book becomes a little murky. Of course; his basic tenets are repeated in the critiques; but without the actual painting to look at; his criticism lacks a little foundation. It must also be understood that Hawthornes beliefs about painting are centered in painting in a realistic representational manner.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thank you for this gift of another time; another perspective!!!By CustomerI am savoring it. I take just a morsel and let in reveal itself overtime. I let the nugget tumble around in my experience till i have embodied its wisdom then I get another morsel. This way I can enter like a time traveler the start of Hawthornes school which I have visited. Yet now the book brings the whole scene to life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
