Excerpt from The Art-Revival in Austria Revivals in Art spring from a sense of disquietude concerning the existing order of things; they are the strivings after truer and nobler ideals. The efforts made to this end are sometimes encumbered by false issues, but there is never lacking in them some element of right which will be recognised and supported by those who have a keen and real interest in the advancement of human culture.
