Title: How do we rate something written in another time.
Review: I am not sure how folks can rate something from another era..who is to know what was in this person's mind at the of time writing. I found the book very interesting. I'm not an accomplished artist but I found it useful. And someone thought enough of this man's art to devote an art gallery where his works are collected and displayed (outside of Chicago.) He taught art and made it his lifes work. He was a very accomplished artist. And he made a living from his art. How many can say that? Maybe what we should say instead is that this book does or doesn't suit us at the moment. Since it still is sought after long after Mr. Vanderpoel's death I would have to say it has it's merits. After seeing paintings of Mr. Vanderpoel's, I think he was a pretty good artist and certainly did what he was driven to do and ranks among the better American artists. Being a member of the Vanderpoel family makes me very proud.
