“Professor Van Dyke is a helpful cicerone, for he does not overpower the reader with his theories, or force upon him his tastes, or crush him with the weight of his learning, but talks clearly and sensibly about what pictures are painted for and how we can get the most out of them.”—The Independent.
“It would be difficult to find a better or more accomplished guide in gaining a comprehension of the principles of appreciation as applied to painting.”—The Press (Philadelphia).
“Not only useful to the unsophisticated, to whom it is admirably adapted, but valuable to those who have a tendency to lose themselves in technicalities.”—New York Times.
“Mr. Van Dyke will help the student to understand how pictures have been made and how they have been brought together in the great galleries; he will show how to get at the points of view held by the masters, and how, in short, to use the technique of art-study.”—New York Tribune.
“Much useful information and suggestive thought in an informal little volume.”—International Studio.
“Professor Van Dyke writes with his usual cool good sense.”—New York Evening Post.
“An admirable introduction to travel or study.”—The Congregationalist.
