Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Art Criticism The following treatise on Art Criticism, an abridged edition of the larger work published one year ago, is specially designed to meet a demand whose existence has now been called forth. The aim of both is to awaken, to foster and to aid the growing aspiration of American students and amateurs in art. The Introduction to the larger work indicates the lack in American education which creates this demand, the methods by which teachers in other lands and ages have supplied this common aesthetic need, and the nature and ground of the author's attempt. The conviction is general that a compendious elementary treatise on the principles of design and the methods of execution in the fine arts is a special desideratum in American literature. The general education of American youth, male and female, the aspiration of men in every pursuit to fit themselves for cultured society, the growing fondness for foreign travel, have awakened a desire for compendious information as to the great world of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Literary Criticism The real value of literature lies in the fact that it is a source of pleasure, and it is most to be desired that we enjoy it unconsciously, as the Scotch enjoy the poems of Robert Burns, without any thought of elements, or qualities, or reasons. But that is possible only where an entire community is possessed of a love for poetry that has grown up among them, with which all have been familiar from earliest childhood. We have very little folk-poetry and have inherited a vast literature which we have not produced. Study and reflection add greatly to our appreciation of this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Criticism and Romance, Vol. 1 of 2 When the story appeared, many of its critics com pared it to the works of Defoe. To draw such a parallel was perhaps as high and as truly appreciative a compli ment as could well be paid it and yet in some respects it fell shm't of rather than exceeded the truth. To my mind Merritt's work stands before that of other chroniclers of the Simple Annals of the Poor by all the interval which we might expect to find between actual experience working on a mind of warm imagination and genuine sympathy, and the very highest efforts of genius upon a theme remote from actual contact.

Download or read book Ruskin s Principles of Art Criticism Classic Reprint written by Ida M. Street and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruskin's Principles of Art Criticism Ruskin, though he scorned metaphysical distinction and terms, was in the true sense of the word a philos opher; and it is his philosophy of art that we wish to study in this book. Philosophy is simply clear and connected thinking; philosophy of art, then, is clear and connected thinking about art, and leads to the formulation of laws and principles. Each man, if he thinks about these subjects at all, has, either con sciously or unconsciously, his philosophy of life and of art. The object of the present volume is to put Rus kin's thought on art into such a clear and logical form, that the reader can easily and rapidly compare his own theory with Ruskin's. In this work I wish to appear as an editor rather than as an expositor, although a little exposition has been found absolutely necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Art Criticism: Comprising a Treatise on the Principles of Man's Nature as Addressed by Art; Together With a Historic Survey of the Methods of Art Execution in the Departments of Drawing, Sculpture, Architecture, Painting, Landscaping Gardening, and the Decorative Arts The following Treatise on the Elements of Art Criticism has originated in a conviction that the general neglect of early instruction in the principles of Art Execution is a serious defect in American education; which defect may be, and therefore should be, removed. The educated American tourist finds him self mortified amid the galleries and before the monuments of Art in the Old World, because, unlike European visitors, he has no preparatory acquaintance with the first principles of Art, kindred to his early instruction in Science and Literature, which would make him at home among such treasures, and fit him to appreciate, to enjoy and to improve his privilege. The American legislator, obliged by his position to take action in meeting the great and growing demand for public expenditures in the department of Painting, Sculpture and Architec ture, is harassed with the apprehension, that, having no independent judgment of his own, he may be misled by unworthy and interested men, who are ever in advance of genuine artists in pressing their own claims. The young Amer ican artist has rarely access to technical, historical and critical treatises on Art, which may give clearness and comprehensiveness to his investigations and conceptions. To this special lack of these several special classes must be added the general want felt by the entire mass of the American people, male and female, youths and adults, pre-eminently an educated and reading people; who, though supplied with elementary treatises in every department of science and philosophy, search in vain in American and even in English libraries for a condensed and comprehensive work on Art, which shall meet their general need. The demand is a peculiar one; and the effort to meet it is attended with great difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
