That art is criminal to go beyond the means used in its exercise.
gpt
That the space to be covered should always be in proper relation to the means used for covering it.
human
That in etching, the means used, or instruments employed, being the finest possible point, the space to be covered should be small in proportion.
gpt
That all attempts to overstep the limits insisted upon such proportions are inartistic thoroughly, and tend to reveal the paucity of the means used, instead of concealing the same, as required by art in its refinement.
human
That the huge plate, therefore, is an offence--its undertaking an unbecoming display of determination and ignorance--in accomplishment a triumph of unthinking earnestness and uncontrolled energy--both endowments of the 'duffer.'
gpt
That the custom of 'Remarque' emanates from the amateur and reflects his foolish facility beyond the border of his picture, thus testifying to his unscientific sense of its dignity.
human
That it is odious.

human
That wit of this kind would leave six inches of raw canvas between the painting and its gold frame, to delight the purchaser with the quality of the cloth.
