Besides the difference in ability, there is another difference between ourselves and artist; the artist usually feels much more strongly than we do this urge to make beautiful things. Sometimes it is as if he is driven inspiye of himself, herself to express a sort of beauty which is hidden from ordinary eyes, and we find it difficult to understand what he means. He is rather like someone trying to describe to a blind man what the world looks like - a thing so difficult to that only some very strong forces can keep an artist trying.

Both artist use similar compositions for very different reasons, yet in both pictures the crossing verticals and horizontals pass on a feeling of dignity and rest.
