uboid. F 2 CHAPTER VII GENERAL PRINCIPLES Having so often heard certain amateurs say that science isuseless in art, that taste alone suffices to the creation ofartistic work, I cannot but think that such an absurdity is notonly due to their absolute ignorance, but is, moreover, a meansof dissimulating their idleness and disinclination for all study.It is not then necessary to discuss their views, alas ; their workssuffice to justify my opinion of them. Let us leave them totheir fate. I will content myself with giving the opinion of men ofgreat artistic value, who have sought, studied, and workedceaselessly all their life, and who, with the greatest modesty, areunanimous in recognising the importance of science in art andparticularly in sculpture. Here, for example, is a passage from a monograph of Dr.Richer—Professor of Anatomy at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts,Paris, and who is also a sculptor, in which he admirably definesthe necessary part which science plays in the progress of art. 68
