Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fine Arts and Their Uses: Essays on the Essential Principles and Limits of Expressions of the Various Arts, With Especial Reference to Their Popular Influence The right appreciation of Art does not come by intuition, but by study and serious thought. The following pages have been written; with the simple design of awakening such an interest in the subject as may lead to further investigation. I do not pre sume to come forward as an Art-teacher, but only to offer such thoughts and conclusions as have occurred to me in the course of my own inquiries on the subject, in the hope that they may induce some, at least, of my readers to think the matter out for themselves.

Download or read book Old Masters and New written by Kenyon Cox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Masters and New: Essays in Art Criticism The essays which have been least altered are the earliest ones and the latest; the latter because they express my present mind as I should now express it; the former because it seemed best to leave them their somewhat youthful tone, merely endeavouring that they shall contain no opinions which I do not still hold. The earliest of all in date, that on The' Sculptors of The Early Italian Renaissance, un doubtedly owes its existence, in part, to unconscious memory of an essay of Pater's which I had read some years before. The traces of its origin could not be removed Without removing its truth, for Pater had said what I wanted to say. I can only leave it with the warning that I claim no originality for it. Indeed I care much less that any of my criticisms should be new than that they should be just, and it is likely enough that many of them will be found to coincide with those of other writers whom I may or may not have read.

Download or read book Every Day Art written by Lewis Foreman Day and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Every-Day Art: Short Essays on the Arts Not Fine Writings on art divide themselves mainly into two kinds - the technical and the readable. Of these the one class appeals necessarily to a limited public, and is seldom calculated to tempt a reader not deeply concerned in the subject. The other has a value chiefly literary, and scarcely appeals to the student of art. It has been my endeavour to keep a middle course, and to find readable expression for matter which is of a more or less technical character. I have tried to present my thoughts in a form as perfect as is within the reach of one whose everyday art is not of a literary nature; but though I have not relied upon the reader's interest in ornament, my words are addressed, in the first place, to those who know, or wish to know, something of it. Some there may be to whom these essays will not be the less interesting from the fact, that they originated in my having something to say about my art, instead of having to say something.

Download or read book Essays on Literary Art Classic Reprint written by Hiram Miner Stanley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Literary Art The main connecting thought of these Essays is that literary art, and indeed all art, is an organ in the body of human culture and life, and so dependent on all other organs and all on it. This organic view implies that art segregative or egoistic, art for art's sake, is as destructive of real art as the opposite tendency, the altruistic, that is, the making art wholly subservient to some other organ in humanity, like religion or ethics. I believe we must look at human life in all its manifestations, industrial, artistic, scientific, religious, and ethical, as constituting in totality an organism where each factor is no more to serve itself merely, or even some other member, than the eye is for the eye's sake or the hand for the hand's sake. As the eye is from the whole body and for it, and only by a constant interdependence reaches its own best development, so also is art dependent on the whole organism of civilization for its life and growth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in History and Art IN offering these Essays to the public, i have removed from them any passages and allusions that were of an ephemeral nature and also, when I had written several articles on different parts of the same subject, I have recast and fused them into one. In this way three separate articles have been recast and conjoined in the essay on the National Life of China; two, in Our Indian Empire; and two, in India: its Castes and Creeds. I have also recast the middle portion of the essay on Real and Ideal Beauty, incorporat ing passages from minor papers on the same subject; and have inserted two woodcuts, illustrating the principle of harmonic proportion as exemplified in the peerless edifice of the Parthenon of Athens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures and Painters: Essays Upon Art; The Old Masters and Modern Artists But few words are necessary to introduce the following papers upon the fine arts, from the North American Review, the Massachusetts Quarterly Review, the American Review. They evince so great an extent of knowledge, and so much maturity of judgment, in respect to the subjects of which they treat, and so much learning generally, that their republication cannot but tend to the diffusion of correct ideas upon Am; and, as a consequence, the wider appreciation of its importance. A concentration of public attention is wanted to uphold American Artists, and insure for them that measure of favor to which they are justly entitled. Without government aid, or adequate public appreciation, they can neither bestow time upon their works, nor give scope to their genius.

Download or read book The Art of Literature written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Literature: A Series of Essays And whatever may be thought of some of his opinions on matters of detail - on anonymity, for instance, or on the question whether good work is never done for money - there can be no doubt that his general view of literature, and the conditions under which it flourishes, is perfectly sound. It might be thought, perhaps, that remarks which were meant to apply to the German language would have but little bearing upon one so different from it as English. This would be a just objection if Schopenhauer treated literature in a petty spirit, and confined himself to pedantic inquiries into matters of grammar and etymology, or mere niceties of phrase. But this is not so. He deals with his subject broadly, and takes large and general views; nor can anyone who knows anything of the philosopher suppose this to mean that he is vague and feeble. It is true that now and again in the course of these essays he makes remarks which are obviously meant to apply to the failings of certain writers of his own age and country; but in such a case I have generally given his sentences a turn, which, while keeping them faithful to the spirit of the original, secures for them a less restricted range, and makes Schopenhauer a critic of similar faults in whatever age or country they may appear.

Download or read book The Ministry of Fine Art written by T. Gambier Parry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ministry of Fine Art: To the Happiness of Life; Essays on Various Arts Art is no light matter for those who would really master it. Its science is as needful as its poetry; for its works may be ideally conceived, but they need to be produced as things of reality to bring them within reach of comprehension. It is this compound nature that gives them all their charm and power; on their material side as things Of skill, on their spiritual Side as the interpreters Of the intellect, the emotions, and the passions Of men and thus it is that art approaches SO closely to our affections, and can become the companion of our lives. The soul Of art may sound a mere poetical expression, but it is as true as the plainest prose; for just as in ourselves the life Of the soul is the invisible source of all that gives value to our outward forms, so that mysterious life which glows from within the cold marble of the sculptor, or gleams from beneath the surface of the painter's art, is that without which their works are worthless, but before which we bow in acknowledgment of that soul in them which claims sympathy with our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in the Art of Writing 3. Rhythm of the Phrase - Some way back, I used a word which still awaits an application. Each phrase, I said, was to be comely; but what is a comely phrase? In all ideal and material points, literature, being a representative art, must look for analogies to painting and the like; but in what is technical and executive, being a temporal art, it must seek for them in music. Each phrase of each sentence, like an air or a recitative in music, Should be so artfully compounded out of long and short, out of accented and unaccented, as to gratify the sensual ear. And of this the ear is the sole judge. It is impossible to lay down laws. Even in our accentual and rhythmic language no analysis can find the secret of the beauty of a verse; how much less, then, of those phrases, such as prose is built of, which obey no law but.
