| Contents | forwards a copy of B. Laufer's book; on Laufer's interpretation of Tibetan painting; Saxl stresses that what Laufer calls the essence of Tibetan art is the role of genuine art everywhere: by painting the image of a god or demon, the artist captivates their power; a book on the way primitive peoples imagined the origin of art would be a very rewarding research project; suggests that they start a collection of legends on the origin of art; when in Berlin he will try to talk to [Albert] Grünwedel; he has heard nothing from Wollbrück |
