10 THE SLADE

out of fashion were as paradoxical as it sounds. Death, it seems to me, is apt
to be more fashionable in art, and life formidable to its contemporaries ; and if
the art is not dead, it is required that the artist at least should be. I believe
therefore that the writer I quote was really engaged upon a subtle bouncing of
his readers ; he was insinuating an apology for modern art to people who mis-
trust the living; and Mr. John was too evidently alive to come into the
argument. He is not, I think, very popular ; he has not, I hope, arrived,
but I do hope he is going on, and that prodigal sketching will not be the
last chapter of his story. So lusty an appetite promises growth.
The illustrations of his drawings given here I should describe as a casual
handful, but one or two of them will justify to the unacquainted what some of
us think of their author. D. S. MacColl.
