This emotion felt by the artist, which is the indispensable condition of the presence of significant form in the picture, is an emotion for something which the artist has seen. The something seen will be, in its first description, an ordinary physical object-a face, a landscape, Or a building-but I use the words" in its first description" in order to indicate the fact that it is not as a face, a landscape, or a building that the artist sees it. The ordinary man sees an object in relation to its possible utility to himself, and in so doing sees only as much of it as it is necessary to see for the purpose. Emotion may, of course, be felt for the object when seen in this way, but it is not the object itself which causes the emotion. An object seen as the ordinary man sees it may be a medium for conveying emotion, but it is not for it that the emotion is felt.
