About this Item

155 S. Voll bebildert, meistens farbig. // Aus dem Vorwort: [.]The human eye is capable of adapting itself to respond to an infinite number of impacts. It is made to encompass and comprehend a wide variety of visual languages that man himself has devised. These languages seem not to be particularly "natural" but "man-mae": inventions of the human wit, matters of personal experience and training. Who is naturally equipped to read the subtleties revealed under a microscopic lens or an etching by Rembrandt? Whoever has learned seeing anything in anything has learned the seeing by himself. It is not any different with what has been accumulated here. Art is not made for experts, and it is not made for laymen; art is made for men. This endeavor started out by pleasing an audience uninvolved with art. In the process it became obvious that what pleased me had the best chance to please an audience at large"./// Umschlag am Rand wenig berieben, mit kleinem Einriss am Umschlag am Rücken oben. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 750 25 x 23 cm. Orig.-Leinenbd. mit Goldprägung. In Orig.-Schutzumschlag.
