ABSTRACT
For many ages, in European countries, and here also, much human effort has been expended in trying to copy this or that form of art invented by the Greeks. The beautiful drawings by Picasso of children's heads are Greek both in feeling and technique, yet it is improbable that Picasso had Greek vase-painting in mind when he did them. It means to know that man's goa is the perfection of man; to know that through his noblest efforts and aspirations man obtains a vision into still higher objectives: that art is therefore a function of life. So, rather than fall into sentimental imitation, it is better to hate Greece, or what is called Greece, and hold fast to the effort to bring art and life into true relation with each other.
