Subject: Gallery Blazes II (over-specialization leads to extinction)



  (At this moment the face of the art-critic expresses a sudden anxiety,
as if he were thinking: ``Don't I see sparks? And I smell burning! 
Something's on fire.'') ``It's not exactly a good composition, but it's
stunning, it's something quite out of the ordinary.'' And yet, ludicrous
though they may be, such people are not altogether to be despised. They
are the first attempts of nature in her struggle to create the artist,
experiments as misshapen, as unviable as those first animals that came
before the species of today and were so constituted that they could not
survive for long. And, with their sterile velleities, the art-experts are
as touching to contemplate as those early machines which tried to leave
the ground and could not, but which yet held within them, if not the
secret, the still to be discovered means, at least the desire of flight.
