The New Laokoon: An Essay on the Confusion, of the Arts (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a captivating exploration of the boundaries between artistic expression, focusing on the intricate relationship between poetry and painting. It traces the evolution of artistic theory from the Renaissance to the 18th century, revealing how classical ideas of imitation shaped creative practices and critical thought. The author contends that a "pseudo-classical confusion" arose during this period, blurring the lines between different art forms and leading to an excessive emphasis on formal rules and imitation of established models. This resulted in the rise of "poetic diction," characterized by artificial language and imagery divorced from genuine emotion. The book examines the works of influential figures like Lessing, who sought to distinguish between true and false classicism, advocating for a return to the principles of Aristotle. Through a thought-provoking analysis of historical context and key theoretical concepts, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between artistic theory, creative expression, and the search for enduring aesthetic principles. This exploration invites readers to contemplate the nature of art, the role of imitation, and the significance of individual expression in a world shaped by tradition and evolving tastes. Ultimately, the book's insights offer a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by artists navigating the ever-shifting landscape of artistic creation. 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 # 9781330636732_0
