Inhaltsangabe

This book includes transcripts from inaugural speeches by a renowned art theorist illuminating the impact of art on nations. The author explores the influence of conventional as opposed to naturalistic art in powerful speeches that probe connections between morality and artistic style, focusing on how naturalistic art bolsters national strength while conventional art fosters a sense of despair. By connecting examples taken from Italian, Greek, and Indian artistic traditions, the author makes a compelling case for the importance of authenticity in art and illuminates how art operates as a reflection of a nation's collective psyche.
