In 1921 Hamilton Easter Field ( 1873 -
1922 ) wrote in the "Arts".
" My feeling is that the antipathy
against Rothbort's art is the antipathy which most men and women feel against a
plain unvarnished tale of truth. The plowboy at the plow, the milkmaid, the
factory hand, enjoy visions of a higher social sphere than that to which they
are accustomed. They dream of lords and ladies, and do not wish to have their
dreams disturbed. Therefore they resent what they call the vulgarity of Lincoln,
of Walt Whitman, of Winslow Homer. For the same reason they resent the art of
Samuel Rothbort. Only when such artists gain the applause of the recognized
authorities does the resentment begin to die out. "
