| Item Description: | "on arts and letters" "In a magazine with a creative disposition the interest is Art -- there is an indifference to an intellectualized promotion of Names and new and established artists and writers are presented alike, for their creative work must stand on its own validity -- nor, when the interest is art, can there be any subservience to aesthetic fashions or political schools -- art has its own integrity. Now the Tiger's Eye is on -- the lively, the curious, the imaginative in human and inhuman reality -- it is on the character of genius and the strange adventures of Everyman awake in the world. This magazine will avoid many conventions such as book and art reviews and a consistently organized arrangement -- the first issue is general but future issues will be devoted, either wholly or in part, to an idea or a phenomenon. The Tiger's Eye, moreover, sees no harm in arts and letters being pleasurable therefore it is no teacher, no merchant, no supreme judge. Whoever reads the first issue will discover: selections from a poet's reading diary and photographs of her sketchbooks -- drawings and paintings of contemporary artists with two reproductions in color -- several stories of intuition -- American poets in ironic and heavenly-minded moods -- a dialogue on new music -- 5 diverse opinions on a philosophical French novel -- exceptional poetry from Peru -- a reprint of an 1893 essay on criticism suitable today -- a visiting poet experimenting with Blake's printing methods -- a statement on paintings by a painter -- a poetry bulletin -- an essay on the instincts of man as an artist -- an account of a genius as his productiveness wanes."
