Geneva Armstrong, Woman in Art — Foreword (1927)
“ Art is no small factor in the record of advancement. It is cause and effect, reactionary on human development, and it is our aim to show the work and influence of woman in this development, although the dark and forbidding cold of ignorance and adverse circumstances, has retarded the full flowering and fruition of her sacred mission. ”
Geneva Armstrong, Woman in Art — Foreword (1927)
“ Like family history, such art is interesting to look back upon, and like family history it has its ups and downs, its high lights and shadows, its pride and humiliation. In slight suggestions the subject thus treated measures the bygones to our present, and gives an optimistic view of the future of our race. ”
Geneva Armstrong, Woman in Art — Foreword (1927)
“ Beauty in art is, and must ever be, more than a delight to the eye. The evolution of character and beauty, hence the uplifting of the race, has been recorded in the world's art from remotest ages, and it is the sequence of such unfolding that we have attempted to follow. ”
