Excerpt from Figure Composition
It is not difficult to see, therefore, that it is the applica tion of the principle, and not the principle itself, that is hard to deal with. And the application is difficult because the conditions so constantly vary. Experience brings little help, for do we not see that the more experienced the artist is in composition, the more jejune, tiresome, and perfunctory his creations become.
Hence I cannot but think that the best rule is to avoid rule, and, taking as full a grasp as possible of the various conditions that surround composition, to squarely attack our subject and trust to our power of artistic control to put things in their places. We have to hold in our grasp the architectural laws of stability, the drama of our story, and all the glittering beauty we can conceive.
I have hoped, therefore, that this book may contain all those matters which should be borne in mind by the artist when he approaches the composition of figure subjects.

Excerpt from Figure Composition
To the "practical" man, the most sensible procedure for artists to adopt would be, to, first, acquire the technical skill necessary ; second, master the rules of composition, and then to produce works by the union of the two faculties.
In truth, to those who are accustomed to methodical ways, the artist must appear sadly happy-go-lucky. He never seems to know where he is going, till he has lost himself in the wood. And he is asked if he has nothing to guide him, no principles to follow.
Now method is the pre-arranged order of procedure in the performance of a task, and it is complete, or partial, according as the various elements which enter into the work have been grasped, and allowed for. Method is practical foresight, and its power relaxes as soon as foresight itself fails. Moreover, unless the foresight has been true, the method will entangle itself. The ultimate effect for which the artist strives is the object of his imagination, hardly of his foresight ; and, indeed, the more remote his objective, the less readily does he note the intermediate steps which lie between him and it.
The principles upon which artistic composition is built are exceedingly few, and they are so self-evident that, in their elementary form, they are inapplicable.
