Art and Life in Aestheticism : De-Humanizing and Re-Humanizing Art, the Artist and the Artistic Receptor

Omtale

Art for art's sake addresses the relationship between art and life. Although it has long been argued that aestheticism aims to de-humanize art, this volume seeks to consider the counterclaim that such de-humanization can also lead to re-humanization and to a deepened relationship between the aesthetic sphere and the world at large.
