Description:
Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Company, Boston MA, 1936. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The author divides his work into four parts. The first traces the history of 'art for art's sake' from antiquity to the present. Albert Guerard's depth of learning and his ability to make discriminatory selections of facts give to this monumental task a lightness of touch and ease of style that make it delightful reading. The second section... goes on to discuss Art for Money, for Prestige and for Information, Art and Morality, and Art for Propaganda. Here the author advances his proposition that Art which exists for any of these reasons is not Art. His, however, is a robust art in touch with life, obeying and serving but only its own laws and its own ends... Here is a book, controversial, profound and readable." [Dust Jacket] There is a protective mylar cover. 1ST EDITION.

Lee and Mrs. Lee soon after the war. ...Still a young man, Ezekiel traveled to Europe in 1869 to study sculpture in Berlin. His talent and the international acclaim it won remained for many years uncompensated, although contemporary critics praised him as the greatest talent since Michelangelo. ...Ezelkiel settle in Rome, where he became an intimate of many of the celebrated artists and political figures of the late 19th century... Ezekiel's colorful personality, his love of gossip, his unfailing curiosity about the world in which he lived, and his often magisterial opinions about the issues of contemporary society give his memoirs unique… Read More
