Excerpt from Modern Practical Design
A preface affords an author an opportunity of explaining his position; of putting himself right, so to speak, with his readers; of defining the scope and limits of his work.
Design, in its most comprehensive sense, may be said to enter into every department of art, since the decorative principle governed the art of all ages down to the period of the invention of oil painting in the early part of the fifteenth century, which event ultimately resulted in the divorce of painting from architecture and relegated the painted picture to the position of a moveable article of furniture. It will be convenient, therefore, for present purposes to draw a sharp line of distinction between the purely pictorial or so-called "fine" arts, and those which have come to be regarded as "lesser" or "applied" that form the subject of the present work.
Properly speaking, all art should be "applied," was indeed "applied," until within a comparatively recent period. That fine saying of Alfred Stevens, "I know of but one art," expresses a truth which cannot be gainsaid, and although mural and sculptured decoration must be placed in the front rank of the applied arts, second only to the architecture which it adorns, there can be little doubt that during recent periods pictorial art has arrogated to itself an importance out of all proportion to its real value.
