Abstract

It seems a pity that such a tiresome relic as the linkage of fine and commercial arts must occupy our minds at this date. But the concept persists as one of the most stubborn obstacles to clear thinking in criticism and education today. With reference to the latter field, the National Association of Schools of Design has posed the question this way: Can the seeming conflicts between modern fine arts and the commercial arts, as the student so often sees them, be reconciled for him?

Before we may “reconcile” the conflict for these students, however, we must be sure that reconciliation is possible.
