Artistic Painting

An interview with George Inness

Excerpt from an Article in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, February 1878

A work of art does not appeal to the intellect. It does not appeal to the moral sense. Its aim is not to instruct, not to edify, but to awaken an emotion. This emotion may be of love, of pity, of veneration, of hate, of pleasure, or of pain; but it must be a single emotion, if the work has unity, as every work should have, and the true beauty of the work consists in the beauty of the sentiment or emotion which it inspires. Its greatness consists in the quality and the force of this emotion. Details in the picture must be elaborated only enough fully to reproduce the impression that the artist wishes to reproduce. When more than this is done, the impression is weakened or lost, and we see simply an array of external things which may be very cleverly painted, and may look very real, but which do not make an artistic painting. The effort and the difficulty of an artist is to combine the two, namely, to make the thought clear and to preserve the unity of impression. One is poetic truth, the other is scientific truth; the former is aesthetic, the later is analytic.
