Cesare is more than a cartoonist: he is an artist, and is known as such throughout this country, while his work is reprinted in European periodicals more often than that of any other American cartoonist. His greatness lies in his genius as an artist as well as in the strength of the ideas that his drawings express. 4to, boards, net, =$3.00=.

We get from such a book as this not only an interpretation of a particular artist’s art, but also of the art of painting in general. Writing about Vermeer in _The Outlook_ some years ago, Mr. E. V. Lucas called him ‘the rarest and most fastidious of masters.’ After reading Mr. Hale’s book one feels anew the justice of that statement."--_Outlook._ “The most elaborate stylistic analysis ever applied to any artist."--_Nation._ Large 8vo.
