"It seems astonishing that the teaching and the name of Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran should be so little known, even in his own country, considering how many of the famous French artists of the generation that has almost passed away were among his pupils. It suggests that he achieved his aim as a teacher, which was to develop each student in the direction of his natural bent. While education cannot create genius or talent, or even supply their deficiencies, it must help or thwart their full development. Indeed, the importance of early education is universally admitted, for it is one of the ineffaceable influences upon a mans work up to the very end of his career. And it is because this book seems to me to lay down the fundamental principles of a thorough and absolutely liberal artistic education, that I have taken the trouble to translate it. Lecoq de Boisbaudran was born at Paris in 1802. His painting was cold and hard, showing unmistakable signs of a very bad education. One feels that he recognized this for himself, and that it was an incentive to him in his search for sound principles for teaching others. This book discusses his life and his influence as a teacher"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).
