About This Item
Berkeley: University of California Press [0-520-07459-9] 1992. (Trade paperback) 248pp. Very good plus. Frontispiece, photographs, illustrations, notes, index. There is residue from a price sticker on the front cover. "The provocative title of this new collection of essays was chosen by Rudolf Arnheim for good reason. He has spent a lifetime analyzing the basic psychological principles that make works of visual art meaningful, stirring, indispensable, and lasting. But recent fashionable attitudes and theories about art, he argues, are undermining the foundation of artistic achievement itself. He says that we must face the threat 'that the work crew charged with erecting the edifice of our principles is infiltrated by termites'". (Art History, Architecture, Art Criticism, Art Theory, Essays, Ethics, Meaning--Philosophy, Philosophy, Psychology).
