THE DAILY EFE NT NG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 18GD. 7 THE PHILOSOPHY OF ETCHING. HV PHILIP OII.IIKHT IIAMKUTON. -t There is o-reat need of a word in tlio English lflUKUiiKC, nnd, ao fur as I Know, in other bm siunncs nlw., which would express, in a maimer ho perfectly eourteous tli.it noliodv eould take otU-iihC ut it, what we mean by thu "phrase, ri ,. inomnt of art. If we xay -the laitv," borrowing the old elerienl form, we are co'in teoiic, but we do not exactly say what we me in. becaune a layman in this hcii-h; is niorelv a per fonwhois not professionally an artist, ami it does not lollow that he is ignorant of art. If. on the other hand, we. plainly use the word ig norant," or any word whicil means Hie same thins, we seem to be guilty of rudeness and con tempt towards the immense- majority ol'the public, and an unfortunate impression is "con voyed that we are proud of our ow n superior knowledge, when in reality wo arc simply aware Of a dillerence which is the natural result of a diflerent employment of time and ellort. and which in all other human occupations is re garded by every one as inevitable. It is still more dangerous to use the word "vulvar," ulthoii!;h we may attach no contemptuous liieaninn; to it. because in ordinary conversa tion It is associated with thu idea of ill-bree 1- It nilmht, perhaps, bo permittud us to attempt the introduction of a term which lias no a-so-oiationt ol reproach. A person ignorant of art niiitht be. called an ateclmie, a man not techni cally instructed. Itistrueth.it the word bears more a practical than a theoretical sense, but this would not bo a reason for rcjectini; it, since the rudiments of critical knowledge can only be acquired practically, and no one ever saw form or color delicately enoinh to criticize well whose eye had not beeu educated by practical nriisiic mimiv. In every tine art there is much which is ille gible by rttoehnies, and this is due to the habits of interpretation into which artists always fall, and which a;row upon them with the increase of their culture. For reasons which have already bowi explained by the best English and Conti nental writers upon art in books which are widely circulated, and which it is unnecessary to quote, the tine arts are less imitative than interpretative, and the nobler the artist the more frankly interpretative lie is. Now. there is always, in artistic interpretation, a con siderable element of conventionalism; the artist begins with a set of postulates of which the simplest and most familiar is the postulate about the lino, which iniht be worded thus: "Lot it be granted that the line, though it does not exist in nature, may be admitted in art for the pake of the forms which may be delined by it." A liberal criticism is always willint; to ijraiit all the postulates which may be necessary to the free development of an" art. In oil painting there is an important postulate about liht. '"Let it be granted that white lead may mean the highest sunlight:" and there are also other pos tulates about color which niibt easily be ox pressed it they did not carry us somen hat 'be yond the subject of this paper. Etching may be defined as the stenography ot artistic thought, and there exists in etching an amount of conventionalism scarcely less than that which exists in all other stenographic-.. But as there are irood and bad stenographies, so there are tjood and bad styles in etching, and these may be distinguished by reason, aided by artistic perception and experience. Very many systems of short-hand writ'mii have been in vented, and it may appear to persons who have not studied short-hand to persons who, as regards short-hand, are atcchnies that it is not easy to decide which is the best, whereas, since nil "the systems ot short-hand aim only at two results, and at the same two results namely, to be as rapid as possible and as legible as possible and since, in compliance with tiie first of these, only the very simplest line, and the very simplest curves are admissible, the question of relative merit narrows itself to one of Intelli gent combination; and, after comparing several systems of short-hand, it is easy to see which system answers its purpose best. In the same wav, since etching proposes to itself the rapid autographic rendering of artistic, thought, the best manner in etching, the manner most in conformity with reason, is that which combines the maximum of speed with the maximum of expressional clearness, so that it may be written off whilst the thought U fresh and vivid, and easily read afterwards by the author of it. and by any one else who has learned to read that kind of artistic writing. All waste of labor, any movement of the hand which is not necessary to the expression of the thought, is a departure from the ideal of the art. But however good and legible an etching may be, it cannot be legible unless we have learned to read it unless, that is, we have acquired by practice the power of seeing at once ' through the sign employed the idea signified by it. A time comes ultimately when the sign suggests the natural fact or the artistic idea so instantaneously that we come to look upon the two as inseparable, and cease to be aware of the conventionalism of the sijin. As Blake de clared that he looked through his corporeal eye, and not witli it. so it is not an exaggeration to . say that we look through the hurried Hues of artistic 6hort-hand, and not at them. For the - ehort-haud iu itself is nothing, we care only for the meaning of it. Where the atechnic sees a few irregular horizontal lines at the top of a piece of' paper, the artist, by instantaneous asso ciation of the sign with the thing signified, be holds the serene sky; where the atechnic sees an undecipherable medley of scrawls and scratches, the artist reads the glory of a sunset amongst the illuminated clouds. The tenderest and noblest poctrv leaves us cold if we have never learned the characters in which it is written, and good etching is the poetry of drawing written down rapidly in short-hand. It may seem incredible that au art so inoffen sive and non-popular Bhould have enemies, but the present writer has known many instances in which fiue etchings have appeared to give of fense, and it is sometimes not quite safe to con fess that they afford you pleasure. If you say vou enjov certain plates of the more rapid and abstract kind, ateehnics often consider that you ttviU-p p.iicb urofessions from an affectation of superior knowledge, and they do not altogether A certain amount of cireuin- like vou ior 11 crvoetuin Is necessary in the i avowal of your pre arc plates of Hem- ferences; for instance, there are plates of Kern r,.nrlt mil some ot wmsuer aim ..oii'Muiid. which a collector wise iu his generation would refrain from exhibiting to ateehnics. They have an uneasy suspicion that you are amusing your self at their expense when you say that these things are of line quality. If you venture to say so In print, and your book or articlo should fall .,., it,., bunds of some thoroughly atechnic re viewer, ho will treat you as the victim of 1110110- "'The explanation of our liking for such art as that is, however, very simple, and ought to be intellig hie even to persons who do not Hud the art itself intelligible to them.

M1XII I I It does not follow that wo prefer thee rapid notes, where form Itself has often to be sacri ficed to the exigencies of rapidity, to drawings of highly elaborated truth; audit is an unjust misrepresentation of our views to describe u's as especially partial to the slight and the incom plete, and indifferent to the noble works of art which have been slowly brought to perfection by the ellorts ol months or rears. All that wu say is, that this rapid and abdra-t art is uood and valuable iu its own kind, and that it has certain special qualities and utiliiies of lis own which do not bulong to the arts of elaboration. It is amongst the arts a-.imonir-t the characters of men vou have the rapid and decisive characters, nnd the slow, patient characters. It would be a very narrow view of humanity which would desire to see cither of the two suppressed, si n e each kind is good for u-es of its own. And so it would he a narrow view of tin; line arts hich would desire the suppression either of the art which Mviltly notes impressions, or of that which patiently 'elaborates them. In f nl. there exi.-ts between the two a certain Interdepend ence. The power ol m aking a swift and com prehensive cyntliesis must be preceded by ela borate analytical study; whilst on the 'otln r band the picture which it takes years to exe cute litu -t be founded upon a synthetic concep tion. An art critic whosi cs the'arts in their ju-t relations would hi- the very last person to deny the value of analysis in slu ly. No man over executed a line synthetic etching without having gone through the mo" tiatieut analysis: ami when atechnic reviewers accuse us of being carried away by an especial enthusiasm for ctcliing which biinds us tolhcAalue of elaborated work in other arts, they little know how large a share analysis must have in the education of the swifte.-t uipiafortNts. The question whether elaborate or summary expression needs the higher artistic accomplish ment is answered iu opposite ways by dillereiit artists and theorists, and is, indeed, one of those questions which seem IcquaHy to suggest two opposite solutions. We will endeavor to state the arguments on both sides with equal force. It may lie argued that the elaborate expression requires greater knowledge, because the mere elaboration or finish is in itself the adding of more truth. For instance, if you take a rapid etching or other memorandum from nature, and paint a picture from it, you have to add more lorni. you have to add many subdivisions of light and dark, and you have to add color. A picture, therefore, it may be argued, contains all that an etching of the same subject and equal quality contains, whilst it also contains much more. and. therefore, to produce it. greater knowledge and ability are needed. This is the view most gene rally received not only by ateehnics, but by many artists nnd by some critics. On the other hand, it may be argued that since an etching is an abstract or epitome of nature, for which greater power of . lerlimt is needed, the mere oxerci.-e of selection, if thoroughly well done, implies a certain mental superiority: and that this laeuliy of selection being less needed in elaborate work, and hardly exercised at all in very imitative and literal painting (of which we have had much iu Kngland), the elabo rate art may in a certain sense be less noble than the abstract. This idea may be readily illus trated from literal lire. Suppose that a publisher gave a commission to a man of letters to com pile a catalogue of all extant ancient (ireek writings, the work would be laborious and the list would be long: but suppose that he gave a commission to another man of letters to' make extracts from (ireek literature illustrating some especial subject, as, for instance, (ireek religious sentiment, and to group these extracts so as to maUe them throw the utmost possihic light upon each other, would not the work here be ol a higher kind, merely because the faculty of syn thetic selection was called into play? The two views may be expressed with great brevity. According "to the lirst, elaboration is greater than summary expression, as needing more knowledge, and according to the second, the i summary expression is greater, as needing equal knowledge and more selection. The truth is, that to make any summary really well, we must know a great deal more than can be visibly set down in it; and the knowledge of nature and art possessed by an accomplished etcher must always be much vaster iu bulk than the concentrated essence he gives us. The dif ference between the critic and the ateclmie lies in this, that the one infers the masses of know ledge from which the abstract ha.-, beeu made, and that the other does not inter them. It seems to in a ven- erroneous view to con sider a good etching as merely the rude skeleton of a work of art. It is not a skeleton, but a rt'nuiiw. The difference between the two things may be illustrated from t.ie practice of sculp ture. Before a sculptor makes a statue he makes a sketch of the complete idea iu model ing clay, and afterwards, for the larger and elaborated model, a framework or skeleton of iron is set up. Etchings do not answer to this rigid and formless skeleton; they answer to the lirst little model the synthetic expression of the entire and living idea. The necessity for rapidity in etching presup poses that the idea Is quite ripe tor expression. If the baud goes faster than the thought, the work will fail' iu the direction of unmeaning mannerism: if, on the other hand, the hand waits for the thought, and the thought comes too slowly, the work may be delicate and care ful, but It cau hardly have the look ot treo and passionate inspiration, which is the glory of first- rate etching, inow, mere are manv excellent and admirable artists who come bv their beautiful thoughts in dwelling upon them, and to whom, theretorc, slowness and even hesitation in exe cution are necessary. the method which is natural and right for them is elaboration, and consequently it mav be wise in them to abstain from the etching needle. We do not wish to imply that etching is above them, we mean only that it is unsuitable lor them, in tno same way there are authors w ho can write a power! ul book but cannot make an effective speech. Many ot the best painters have etched very indifferently, or not at all. In speaking of etching as a kind of short hand, we arc quite a ware that much might be said to prove that the process is also available for elaboration. For instance, several members of the English schools have produced idate w hich are highly elaborate, and, in their way very beautiful, especially Samuel Palmer (of whose exquisite art I would always speak with deep respect;, irodericK jayier, and nook But it seems to me that in this they have not insisted upon the especial and peculiar power of the art. and might have expressed their thoughts equally well in some other way. Then, again there is that wonderful man, Jules Jaeque mart, w ho has carried arelined kind of imitation so far in etching us to refute triumphantly the popu Jar notion tliat ctcliing cannot give light and d.ir properly, and is not suitable for delicate draw nig; but still, perhaps Jules Jacqueinart may have quitted, in some degree, the ground which peculiarly belongs to etching. It may be said that we are somewhat arbitrary and narrow desiring to dcline etching as short-hand, since it is callable of just as much elaboration as anv other kind of engraving; but the question a I way Is, with relerence to an artistic product, i'oubl it tie dour in any otlu r tarty If It could, it is not genuine in us own kind. A pure and genu ine etching cannot be imitated by any other process whatever, and the ideas and feelings expressed in it could not be so clearly expressed otherwise. The atechnic reader is respectfully informed that w hat is said here of etching does not refer to dry point, which Is quite a distinct art, though oltcn made auxiliary to etching in the progress of a plate. A very ludicrous instance of the blunders made by ateclmie reviewers oc curred a little time ago iu a Scotch paper, where an illustration to a recent work on the art was criticized as au etching, the fact being that there was not an etched line in it from beginning to end. Iu dry point the needle encounters great resistance from the metal w hich it has to out. In etching it encounters no resistance, for here it has to cut nothing but a coat of varnish of the utmost possible tcuuity, the copper being after wards bitten by acid. Consequently etching Is a much freer art than dry point, and nobody who knows the diftcronee between them w ill ex pect the same quinines lroiu uoiu. It mMit have interested us to trace the pro bable triccU ol the revival of etching upon the practlco of oil painting, but for the present this subject must be reserved. It may, however, be, remarked that painting generally is becoming more synthetic, and rnther more simple and direct in expression, than It was a few years ago. Nevertheless, artists will always be constitu tionally divided into two classes, the men who resume their knowlcflgo In rapid and direct work (however slowly and painfully they "iay acquire that knowledge), and the men who hesi tate and linger in execution, and find that the longer thev linger over a work the better it becomes. This difference being, as 1 said, con stitutional, will divide artists into two camps so long as the world endures. Let us hope that the progress of a truly philosophical art-culture may enable each to see the merits of the other. The best etchers will always belong to one ol these classes; the oilier may' produce, as it does to-day. painters of admirable refinement, and engravers of astonishing industry and skill.
