Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
