About this title

Synopsis

This collection of hard-hitting, highly readable essays reflects Professor E H Gombrich's preoccupation with the central questions of value and tradition in culture. His topics include radical proposals for the reform of higher education, an attack on relativism, and a plea for the conservation of our cities, alongside thought-provoking studies of the work of Oskar Kokoschka, Abram Games, Saul Steinberg and Henri Carier-Bresson.
