Description
Excerpt from Leonardo Da Vinci: The Florentine Years of Leonardo Verrocchio
If the art-loving public could learn to look more materially at art, would turn its attention to the peculiar style, technique and execution of each particular work, and thus teach itself to judge artistic quality, much would be gained. The public would not then be so frequently the victim of trickery and advertisement as it now is; unskilled criticism would be banished, and the vulgar hunt for motives become less remunerative. Finally much fruitless discussion about art and morality would cease of its own accord as idle nonsense.
