The Two Paths: Being Lectures on Art, and Its Application to Decoration and Manufacture, Delivered in 1858-9 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the often-challenging relationship between art and industrialisation. The author argues that art should not only be beautiful, but also have a meaningful purpose in representing the natural world. Through examining the history of art, the author traces the idea that great schools of art have always had a central aim of representing some natural fact as accurately as possible. By investigating works across the disciplines of architecture, painting and sculpture, this book reveals how the decline of art often coincides with its increasing self-focus, and argues instead for art's potential to connect us with the world around us and inspire positive change.
