...Many make me think of plum puddings whose raisins have settled on one or two sides. Certainly no one can say that recessing back a skyscraper makes for beauty." Never an official, never pedantic, Architect Hastings believed that the creator of a design should follow it through with the draughtsmen, landscapists and constructors. He was al ways enthusiastic about his projects, especially large public fountains or memorials. He believed that modern architects should not try to imitate what has gone before but at the same time should keep in the traditions, that the radical work being done in Germany...
...Lampoon is sadly in need of some draughtsmen on its editorial staff. A sound knowledge of drawing and particularly of anatomy is essential to the successful humorous artist or caricaturist. To distort the human figure it is first necessary to know how to draw it normally. Look at the work of Frank Reynolds or Ernest Shepard of "Funch" and also cast a lingering glance upon the efforts of Fournier and Brunner in "La Vie Parisienne...
...study. While at school they make tools for the Ford company. That the academic side is not wholly neglected is demonstrated by the fact that boys finishing a four year course there are credited with three years in other high schools.

Therefore posterity took him to her bosom. He painted to please his patrons, to make a living. He still pleases the patrons of Sir Joseph Duveen, and the sale of one of his portraits makes the living of a dozen dealers...
...American City Planning Institute, the other the annual exhibition of the American Institute of Architects. They pinned debonair ribbons, blazoned with the word "Guest," upon their lapels; stone men cemented up their differences, iron men welded their friendships, plumbers soldered sound opinions with a friendly pipe, draughtsmen were seen slipping away, arm in arm, for a draught. At meals they listened to famed speakers: Harvey W. Corbe President of the Architectural League, Manhattan; D. Evert Waid, President of the American Institute of Architects; Robert W. DeForest, patron of the arts, Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens, famed British designer of the Queen...
