Yet it contains a certain animating power which is so subtly interwoven with the actual material that its effect is tenacious and clinging rather than sudden. There is in it a silent sort of tension which is capable of producing a response within the mind of the spectator, a response which is only communicable by means of the actual object. A photograph or description will not serve...
