"Discusses the functions, styles, structure, and themes of art, and describes the problems of art criticism. Beginning with the functions of art, Dr. Feldman introduces the reader to the various connections between visual forms and the personal, social, and physical dimensions of everyday life. These are examined in the light of the impact art has on psychological expression, social description, the communication of ideology, the design of useful objects, and the organization of the large-scale environment. This discussion is followed by an extensive analysis of styles - the pervasive modes of artistic expression which cut across chronological, geographic, national, and ethnic categories." .
