A stranger overhearing our discussions would have imagined that we knew something about painting. A STRANGER OVERHEARING OUR DISCUSSIONS WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT WE KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT PAINTING
rule, I entertain for all man and woman-kind, it is his churches and picture-galleries. We have seen enough churches and pictures since our return to Munich to last me for a very long while. I shall not go to church, when I get home again, more than twice a Sunday, for months to come. The inhabitants of Munich boast that their Cathedral is the ugliest in Europe; and, judging from appearances, I am inclined to think that the claim must be admitted. Anyhow, if there be an uglier one, I hope I am feeling well and strong when I first catch sight of it. As for pictures and sculptures, I am thoroughly tired of them. The greatest art critic living could not dislike pictures and sculptures more than I do at this moment. We began by spending a whole morning in each gallery. We examined each picture critically, and argued with each other about its "form" and "colour" and "treatment" and "perspective" and "texture" and "atmosphere." I generally said it was flat, and B. that it was out of drawing.
