About This Item
New York: Frederick A Stokes, 1935. New Edition. hardcover. Book VG- : shelf wear to boards and spine, spine sunned, mild toning/foxing to endpapers, some pencil notes/marginalia in text block/no DJ. 8vo 245pp. from Preface: "The idea behind the modern movement in the arts is a return to the architectural or classical idea. It is fundamentally a reaction not only against the various degenerate forms of nineteenth-century art but also against the romantic movement of the nineteenth century in its purest and most original forms. It is thus, I submit, in line with the general orientation of contemporary thought. Romantic art assumes that the artist is more important than art, and that the artist's emotional personality should dominate his work. Classical art assumes that art is greater than the artist, and that the artist is merely a link between the spectator and some universal order, which man, as such, is always seeking to discover." #01761.
