may be referred to my book, The Language of Drawing and Painting, in which I have discussed the general principles governing tone or color relations and the use of different palettes, as well as the different modes or types of drawing and painting.

I may add that, aside from this more or less incidental practice of drawing and painting, my main interest has been to carry further the development of a sound, if not spectacular, theory of the visual arts, and to give students a reasonable basis for understanding and discrimination.

A. P.
