Excerpt from La Délicatesse dans l'Art
Sous ce titre général: la Délica tasse dans l'art, nous avons rangé, en trois chapitres distincts, la Précision, qui, dans les arts plas tiques comme dans la poes1e, est la délica tesse du trait et consiste dans la fine justesse du dessin; la Discrétion et les sous-enten dus, sans lesquels il n'y a que des surfaces sans profondeur; la Moralité qui, entendue comme elle doit l'être, n'est pas une sem tude, une complaisance pour un principe étranger à l'art, mais une loi que l'art, toujours libre, s'impose a lui-même pour mieux assurer le plaisir qu'il se charge de donner.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that clarity and precision in artistic expression have been neglected in contemporary art. The author believes that a return to these qualities is necessary for creating works that are deeply and enduringly pleasurable. Drawing on examples from painting, sculpture, and poetry, the book explores the idea of precision in art and how it can be achieved. It emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between similar subjects, and avoiding unnecessary details or distractions. Ultimately, the book suggests that precision in art is not merely a technical skill, but a moral imperative that artists have a responsibility to uphold. Through its insightful examination of precision in art, this book sheds new light on the nature of aesthetic pleasure and the role of art in our lives.
