Note 587 — PART II THE PLAYFUL EXERCISE OF IMPULSES OF THE SECOND OR SOCIONOMIC358 ORDER (continued 4)

See on this point Grosse’s Anfänge der Kunst and the chapter on The Young Draughtsman in Sully’s Studies of Childhood. If space allowed I could give similar particulars of my nephew Max K——’s work. In this boy the artistic impulse all turned to the representation of animals, in which he became a master. He took the great scissors and cut away almost without looking, and with every turn of the shears he turned his body too (an instance of the outer effects of inner imitation).
