About This Item
SIGNED First Edition, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED by RAND: "To William W. Stanhope - - Cordially - Ayn Rand 12/20/74." ." In this series of essays, Ayn Rand demonstrates that art is not a luxury but a critical need for human beings, not a material need, but a need of man's rational mind, on which his material survival depends. With brilliant lucidity and ruthless logic, she validates her own esthetic theory and campaigns for an esthetic renaissance. "Will we see an esthetic Renaissance in our future? I do not know. What I do know is this: anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today." Original blue cloth (tiny stain to lower rear corner); in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (short tear and minor crease to rear panel). Provenance: William W. Stanhope (presentation inscription from the author). A highly collectible copy of a book increasingly tough to find signed. Book #vP1004. $4250. From the world's largest selection of rare, signed, and manuscript Ayn Rand in private hands.
Synopsis
Ayn Rand throws a new light on the nature of art in this collection of essays and works regarding the state of art in her objectivist viewpoint. This text provides a comprehensive look at what defines art, and how the kinds of art/literature/music that one is drawn to is a direct reflection of their inner philosophy.
