Synopsis
This book explores the overlooked history of painting and sculpture's utility in society and contrasts the value placed on these art forms between ancient civilizations to England's industrial revolution era. Drawing on historical examples like Pericles and Alexander the Great, the author proposes a reorganization of state patronage to elevate the arts in cultural prominence while opening vast possibilities for commerce and trade. An incisive investigation into the misconception of separating a work's intellectual value from its functional nature, this book emphasizes the invaluable and varied role design plays in the development of civilization.
