Further, he said, decorators in commercial establishments—theaters, office build- ings and hotels—grasped the motives, and before long the public was pre- pared for the introduction of “mod- ernistic furniture.” “After all a fondness for modern art is an acquired taste, r.Gill said, “‘but once acquired, I believe it is here to stay.” Anto Carte, Belgian painter, whose war service resulted in his imprisonment by the Germans soon after the opening of the war, notes the present-day ac- ceptance of modern art as the result of a gradual presentation of it through a period of 25 years, not only in painting, but in music, prose and poetry, the combined efforts of which produced a pressure too strong to resist. Mr. Carte agrees with Mr. Gill, however, that a taste for modern art must be acquired. More Woman Painters. The modernistic motives in residential decoration and furnishing, both men agree, are used for the most part today by small groups—the intelligentsia, in Europe and, they believe, in the: United States—but, however, the taste s being acquired rapidly.
