Sobre este artículo
New York: Vantage Press, 2004. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. What is art? What characteristic is common to all works of art regardless of the genre? What common attribute is shared by a Greek temple, a Shakespearean sonnet and a Beethoven symphony that makes all three "art?" Professor Casler, in this straightforward aesthetic statement, replies all works of art involve the "reconciliation of independently interesting opposing tendencies." An artist, whatever his medium, is a person who creates a conflict in order to produce unity. Casler then supplies multiple examples from music and literature as well as the visual arts to support his theory. Whether you accept Casler's theory, it will enhance your appreciation of art and artists. 77 pages, with references and an index. Spine ends lightly bumped, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows some light wear at the edges and corners, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
