This sentence, from the article in the Times, is so true and something we should draw learning from.
Dicksee was, no doubt, a skilled painter, but his paintings lacked energy and painterly drama, compared to Sargent ( who don,t? ).
Everything is neat and correct but has no energy, or the energy has no direction, the persons just sit there and express nothing but boredom. There is more painterly drama in the patterns on the wall than in the persons.
Only trying to draw some learning
