This book explores the relationship between fine art and societal well-being, arguing that art which is true to nature is life-giving, while conventional and artificial art is life-denying. The author traces the history of art to show how a preoccupation with form over substance has led to decline, drawing examples from architecture, painting, and sculpture. The author asserts that art has the power to shape our perceptions and values, and that when it is used to promote truth and beauty, it can uplift and inspire. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the transformative power of art.
