Description

A seminal work of philosophy and an invaluable resource for students of aesthetics, this volume deeply influenced a generation of art historians. Author Benedetto Croce’s theory that art is expression—his signature contribution to aesthetics—allowed art historians to accept many artifacts previously deemed unworthy of study as valuable contributions to the history of art.
