Architecture and Art.

The architect of the Renaissance I see as one who, as like as not, was himself a sculptor, or a painter; sometimes both. So that as he worked with others who, like himself, lived in the arts, there came out of it buildings of "which you cannot say where architecture ends and sculpture and painting begin. How may all this be brought back? I don’t know, nor do wiser men than I. I do not venture to say that architects must become painters and sculp tors; that would be rather utopian But at least they should be brought closer together, personally and pro fessionally. and the time to do it is while they are still in their formative period. The problem is not being neglected; beginnings are being made. Few of the most eminent and thoughtful men in the American world of art but are concerned with it. —<3. Grant in Scribner’s Magazine.
