Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life in Spain, Past and Present
Photography is gradually forcing painters to greater care in drawing and more loving attention to detail. It is also, I think, making travelers more accurate and pains taking. Whether the new art has had any effect on me, I know not; but I hope so; for I tried on the spot for local color and vividness, where vividness could be given without haz arding truth. To throw indigo into the sea, or to smear a cheek with carmine, never gave me pleasure, if I merely imagined the colors and had not seen them. It is the same with feeling as with color.
