Product Information

When an extremely intellectual, extremely experienced, extremely wise man shares his thoughts with others, the result seizes the imagination at once. Such is the effect of these essays, a series given as lectures at the National Gallery in 1973. Mr. Barzun examines art as religion, as destroyer, as redeemer, and in relation to what he calls its temper, science , but never forgets the basic essential. As he says, the last word on art should indeed be: mystery. But that need not stop any of us from dealing with it as if we understood more than we can . And how good it is to have one's mind stretched to that understanding of more. --Virginia Quarterly Review
