Description

Composed as lectures to the students at the Royal Academy in the late eighteenth century, these discourses both summarize the art theory of the previous three hundred years and point towards attitudes prevalent in the nineteenth century. The general topic is the education of the artist and he is concerned with the essentials of the problem: the purpose of art, the nature of the creative process, and the artist's relation to tradition.-Publisher via Google Books
