Chapter XXI: Appendix: p331

Text size

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

At the suggestion of the publishers, the references which follow have been segregated in an appendix instead of being scattered as footnotes through the text. They felt, rightly enough, I think, that in a book of this character the purpose of the notes was to acknowledge indebtedness for the material cited rather than to support the argument, and that the reader would prefer not to have the text encumbered by the apparatus of a kind of scholarship to which the author makes no pretensions.

While these notes, except in a few instances, refer only to matter actually used in the text, they are also an approximate bibliography of the works which I have consulted. I wish I could adequately acknowledge the obligation I owe to my teachers, William James, George Santayana, and Graham Wallas, though that perhaps is self-evident. I should like to thank Miss Jane Mather and Miss Orrie Lashin for help in the preparation of the manuscript. I am under special obligation to my wife, Faye Lippmann, without whose assistance I could not have completed the book.

74 7 For a comprehensive condemnation by the Holy See of
modern opinions which undermine the authority of the Roman
Catholic Church, see the Syllabus of Pius IX (1864) and
the Syllabus of Pius X (1907). The Syllabus of 1864 lists
and condemns eighty principal errors of our time, and
is described by the Catholic Encyclopedia (Vol. XIV, p.
369) as opposition “to the high tide of that intellectual
movement of the Nineteenth Century which strove to sweep
away the foundations of all human and Divine order.”
The Syllabus of 1907 condemns sixty-five propositions
of the Modernists which would “destroy the foundations
of all natural and supernatural knowledge.” (Catholic
Encyclopedia, Vol. XIV, [p334] p. 370.) It should be noted
that there is difference of opinion among Catholic scholars
as to the binding power of these two pronouncements, and
also that their meaning is open to elaborate interpretation.

109 10 Cf. Diego Rivera, _The Revolution in Painting_, in
Creative Art, Vol. IV, No. 1. “And there is absolutely
no reason to be frightened because the subject is so
essential. On the contrary, precisely because the
subject is admitted as a prime necessity, the artist is
absolutely free to create a thoroughly plastic form of
art. The subject is to the painter what the rails are
to a locomotive. He cannot do without it. In fact, when
he refuses to seek or accept a subject, his own plastic
methods and his own esthetic theories become his subject
instead. And even if he escapes them, he himself becomes
the subject of his work. He becomes nothing but an
illustrator of his own state of mind, and in trying to
liberate himself he falls into the worst form of slavery.
That is the cause of all the boredom which emanates
from so many of the large expositions of modern art, a
fact testified to again and again by the most different
temperaments.”
