Excerpt from A Living Theatre: The Gordon Craig School, the Arena Goldoni, the Mask; Setting Forth the Aims and Objects of the Movement and Showing by Many Illustrations the City of Florence the Arena The Popularisation of Ugliness, the bearing of false witness against Beauty - these are the achievements of the Realistic Theatre. I wish my school and Journal to stand as my protest against this anarchistic tendency of the modern Theatre. The modern Realistic Theatre, forgetful of all the Laws of Art, sets out to reflect the times. It reflects a small particle of the times, it drags back a curtain and exposes to our view an agitated caricature of Man and his Life, a figure gross in its attitude and hideous to look, upon. This is true neither to life nor to art. It has never been the purpose of art to reflect and make uglier the ugliness of things, but to transform and make the already beautiful more beautiful, and, in following this purpose, art shields us with sweet influences from the dark sorrows of our weakness. The modern Realistic Theatre helps to stir up in the people that restlessness which is the enemy of all things. The duty of the Theatre (both as Art and as an Institution) is to awaken more calmness and more wisdom in mankind by the inspiration exhaling from its beauty. Photographic and Phonographic Realism injure the minds of the people. They thrust upon them a grotesque and inaccurate representation of the outward and visible life, with the divine essence - the spirit - the beauty of life left out. Unimportant is it what subject the artist turns to - his pleasure is to illumine all that he touches so that it shall shine brightly. A momentary glance at the works of the masters will endorse the truth of the statement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
