Section 20
Study from Reproductions AN APPROACIITO TTIE STUDYOF PICTURES. An intelligent and active study of the great paintings of all times is absoluteIy necessary. Every great painter has taken advantage of it just as doctors and chemists take advantage of previous work in medicine and chemistry. When you look at the finished work of a painter, you don't see all that has gone on behind the scenes. For the student, it is necessary to go behind the finished work and see the impulse from which it sprang, There is no such thing as starting where Cezanne, for example, left off. You have to start where Cezanne started - at the beginning - and you have to stark with the same integrity and the same interest. From a study of the established masters of painting try to squeeze the sap of life. Study not their manners but their motivation.
