Content Description

He is glad Lawrence likes the exact drawing of St. Peters and revisits the method by which it was completed; he responds to Lawrence's comments on his painting and on colour in general; he uses this as a springboard for his own theories of art, expanding his argument to include painting's relationship to poetry.
