Abstract
When Fairfield Porter died in 1975, he was known as one of the best painters in America. His own opinion was that he was stronger as a critic. Whatever one's thoughts on that comparison, it can certainly be said that no practicing painter of distinction has ever made so complete a map of the art of his contemporaries — a map to which he himself invented the key, which is also the key to his own mind and art. This book of his writings, which is mainly about the art of his own time, is the complement to Fromentin's Masters of Past Time. In another respect, the philosophical depth with which an artist tried to probe the nature not just of his own art but of all art, Porter's writing is alone in its field.
