Summary "Coasting Bohemia" by J. Comyns Carr is a collection of essays and reflections written in the early 20th century. This work explores the world of art and its practitioners during the later Victorian era, highlighting notable figures such as Millais, Rossetti, and Burne-Jones. The essays also touch on the evolution of artistic expression and the shifting dynamics within the art community, offering personal insights based on the author's relationships with various artists. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to Carr’s perspectives on the Bohemian art scene, discussing the transformative journey of art throughout history and the ongoing debate surrounding originality and influence. Carr reflects on his early career as a critic and his evolving understanding of art, recounting his encounters with prominent artists and their philosophies. His initial observations reveal a sense of nostalgia as he contrasts the Bohemia of his youth with its contemporary state, suggesting a personal and cultural resonance with the artistic movements he examines.
