paints his pool of water lillies. Naturalistic;' Absolutely. But most of us 
need our color sense sharpened and need fco cultivate a less material appre- 
ciation of nature generally, before Ave can see the lilly pool as Monet sees it. 
Naturalistic need not be confused with materialistic. Nature does not ex- 
press matter. Nor is conventional treatment in itself the less materialistic.

rhythm, all the qualities of art, which arc within us and not without, and which, 
expressed, cheerfully defy the analyst. Very truly yours, 
Flloyd Triggs.
