Essays on Art (Routledge Revivals) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This collection of brief but insightful essays examines a wide variety of unique but related issues: the relationship between natural and artistic beauty; the genius of Da Vinci and Nicholas Poussin; the influence of femininity on European art; the importance of good criticism; art as a social phenomenon; the role of the passions; and a range of associated topics. First published in 1919, A. Clutton-Brock's reflections on the nature and function of art bear the marks of the deep anxieties following the First World War, and can thus speak to a generation similarly faced with uncertainty.
