MODERN ART
sir--M. T. Woollaston’s "My Mother" happens to be my youngest sister. One day when M.T.W. put "it" against the wall without comment, for me to look upon, and then told who it was supposed to be, I was at first speechless with horror. Then words flowed out brook-like but much muddied... .! Oh yes, I was scathing, for that morgue-like creation was supposed to be my beautiful sister. Then the miracle happened. Out of that dreadful thing of ugly lines stepped my sister as I knew her, alive, beautiful, and reflecting her living vitality for me to look upon. It was only there for a
moment then was gone again. This happened three times within approximately one hour. Yes that reality haunted me for about three years, lam. now ,able to see her anytime I look at it#but oh, those ugly lines are still a trial till I see the beauty through. them.
