Catalogue of an unique collection of Greek and Roman marbles, important gothic sculptures, primitive paintings, ceramics, tapestries and ancient rugs, ... from historical collections and gathered i

The Anderson Galleries present to the art lovers of New York a collection that is unique in its scope, and unique in the artistic tendencies which it represents.We are used to being surrounded by works of art that merely flatter our eye and mind by soft, mellow colors, graceful line and pleasing subjects. Here is a collection that arouses our feeling for great and elevated beauty. These objects seem to have no relation to present "de luxe" civilization, and yet they respond to a higher yearning in our nature, and give it full satisfaction. The great beauty of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, the spiritual austerity of Gothic wood carvings, the primitive directness of mediaeval pottery from the Orient, and the deep mysticism of Chinese pictorial art, belong to our life and must continue to belong to it more and more.
