NEW ART BOOKS WORTH READING 
Anita Gray Chandler 
"Studies in the Seven Arts," by Arthur Symons. (E. 
P. Dutton Co.) Price $2.50 net. This group of papers by 
an English critic who felt "art to be life" is republished after 
a decade. Those who find in the sculptor Rodin a satisfying 
interpreter of nature will read the first study with appreciation." 
Other sculptors turn life into sculpture; he turns sculpture 
into life," Symons concisely affirms. Admirers of Whistler 
will find a sharply etched portrait of the odd old painter whose 
wit was as keen as his hand was clever. There are also studies 
of celebrities in other branches of art. Those who missed the 
papers when first published will find it profitable to read the 
new edition. 
"The Venus of Milo," by Paul Carus. (The Open Court 
Publishing Co., Chicago.) Price $1.00 net. No one knows 
who created the Venus whom everyone, the world over, knows 
at a glance. She is perhaps the best known statue extant 
yet scholars can only theorize about her history prior to the 
day a peasant of Melos exhumed her in several pieces from 
the ruins of Castro. Dr. Carus, in his study of the statue, has 
followed the cult of the goddess in the myths of many lands. 
The book is well illustrated.
