Excerpt from The Nature and Function of Art, More Especially of Architecture
That an artist who recreates nature must be capable of emotions cannot be doubted or denied, but it is equally true, that during the process of recreation in art the artist must be the master and not the victim of the emotions he delineates.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This intriguing book proposes a fresh and revolutionary perspective on architecture and its role within modern society. Challenging the common notion that taste and common sense are reliable arbiters of aesthetic merit, the author delves into the historical evolution of artistic styles and the factors that have influenced their development. By scrutinizing the relationship between architecture and its social and intellectual context, the book uncovers the intricate interplay between aesthetics, function, and the ever -changing ideas of human beings. Exploring such topics as the nature of beauty, the function of art, and the importance of criticism, the author argues for a new understanding of architecture as a creative and expressive force deeply rooted in the fabric of human civilization.
