It outlines Sachs’s division of art history into three periods: a "classic" phase (e.g., Greek, Roman), a "romantic" phase (e.g., Gothic, Baroque), and a modern "ethos" phase (e.g., Expressionism, Cubism), each with corresponding styles and psychological attitudes.
The review is accompanied by two black-and-white illustrations:
Below the main article, a secondary review titled “The Fogg Collection” by James Johnson Sweeney appears, discussing Drawings in the Fogg Museum of Art by Agnes Mongan and Paul J. Sachs.

The image depicts a page from a magazine or newspaper featuring an article titled "Independence of the Arts" by Albert Sachs. The article is illustrated with a drawing of a human head by Eugene Zak, sourced from the Fogg Museum of Art. The text discusses the concept of artistic independence, emphasizing the idea that artists should not be constrained by external influences or trends.
The article is divided into sections, each addressing different aspects of artistic independence. The first section, "The Arts," explores the idea that each art form—architecture, music, sculpture, and painting—should be studied and appreciated independently. The second section, "The Style," delves into the notion of style in art, suggesting that style is a means to an end rather than an end in itself. The third section, "The Fate of Styles," examines how styles evolve and are influenced by historical and cultural contexts.
The article includes quotes and references to other artists and art historians, such as Ruskin and Michelangelo, to support its arguments. The text is accompanied by a drawing by Theodore Gericault, also from the Fogg Museum of Art, which depicts a boat on a river with mountains in the background. This drawing serves as a visual complement to the article's themes of exploration and independence.
The page layout is typical of mid-20th-century publications, with a clean, straightforward design that emphasizes the text and illustrations. The use of black-and-white imagery and a simple font choice contribute to the article's scholarly and serious tone.
