Let us try to define that quality which makes an artist "tick.” Every bit of work he docs starts out with the premise that it has a message, a pur- pose, a job to do. What is the most direct answer, the simplest interpretation of that message he can make? Stripping a subject to its barest and most efficient essentials is a mental procedure. Every inch of the surface of his work should be considered as to whether it bears important re- lationship to a whole purpose. He sees, and his picture tells us the importance of what he sees and how he feels about it. Then within his pic- ture he stresses what is of greatest importance, and subordinates what must l>e there but is of lesser importance. He will place his area of great- est contrast about the head of the most im- portant character. (OCR)
