Every school of sculpture and painting, and every great artist, have their biographers and interpreters. Magnificent collections, both public and private, are open to students of works of art, so that it is easy for any educated person to have at least a superficial acquaintance with European art-history, and an intelligent understanding of artistic thought and expression. The profession of an artist is an honourable one, and there are organised associations of artists which can, and do to some extent, influence and direct public opinion in art matters. - [Previous: c7.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.32) - [Next: c7.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.34) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.33) · Pramāṇa
