Publisher Description

An effort to revive art-principles of the past, at best, can only result in works of art resembling a still-born child. For example, it is impossible for us to relive or feel the inner spirit of the ancient Greeks. The sculptor's attempts to employ Greek principles can only achieve a similarity in form, while the work itself remains for all time without a soul. Such imitation resembles the antics of apes. Externally, the animal's movements are almost like those of human beings. The monkey sits and holds a book an inch from its nose, turns the pages, makes thoughtful faces, but there is no sense or meaning in any of these actions.

This is an interesting work that describes Kandinsky’s efforts to understand the direction of his art. The book is thin in research. Kandinsky’s opinions are based on his experience and his feelings. Unfortunately, this edition does not include the images and tables described in the text.
