Description
Art and Society is firmly established as the standard introduction to the sociology (and social psychology) of art. It explains how man first came to paint, and how art developed throughout its long history to its present state. In this authoritative volume, the reader can make the long voyage form the cave paintings of Lascaux and Altamira to Cézanne and Picasso. It is a tribute to Read's mastery of this vast and complicated subject that the reader can makse so long a a voyage with pleasure and ease.
Anthropology, psychology, history, and aesthetics are ingeniously merged by an author who has a well-earned reputation for extraordinary intellectual breadth and sensitivity. The basic theme appears in Read's conclusion: "It is one of my strongest convictions that no work of art survives its age which is not justified by some strength of form or grace of execution- that possessing these, even a dictionary may survive."
The author has written a new introduction for this edition.
