Synopsis

Excerpt from The Two Paths: Being Lectures on Art, and Its Application to Decoration and Manufacture, Delivered in 1858-9

The lack of a clear definition of the Fine Arts is, I believe, the source of occasional passages of vague or imperfect thought, and of half-truths which may be met with in this little volume. But no reader of intelligence can fail to derive instruction and enjoyment from its pages.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between fine art and societal well-being, arguing that art which is true to nature is life-giving, while conventional and artificial art is life-denying. The author traces the history of art to show how a preoccupation with form over substance has led to decline, drawing examples from architecture, painting, and sculpture. The author asserts that art has the power to shape our perceptions and values, and that when it is used to promote truth and beauty, it can uplift and inspire. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the transformative power of art. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330131503_0
