About this title

Synopsis:

Views the process of artistic creation in light of the conflict between man's quest for order and increasing universal disorder

From the Inside Flap:

“Arnheim was the best kind of romantic. His wisdom, his patient explanations and lyrical enthusiasm are those of a teacher.”--New York Times “The psychology of art is never as easy as a-b-c, but this book avoids the general obtuseness of such treatises. It will give your mind a good honing.”--Art Direction

Also represented are selections from writers, artists and publishers who represent a creative vision--progressive, hopeful, and with an independent eye.
