Octavo, black cloth & brown illus. boards (hardcover), gilt letters, slick pages, xx, 180 pp. Former-owner signature; otherwise, Fine in a Very Good-, edgeworn dust jacket. "This challenging book by an author who has lived and worked in the art world for his entire life raises fundamental questions with which sensitive people in all fields should deal. Although chiefly concerned with standards and origins of taste in art, Mr. Seligman's keen understanding of how judgments are made -- and of how judgments should be better made -- points the way toward new and fresh evaluations and real rather than sythetic experiences.Fifty-nine illustrations placed in the text throughout the book serve to highlight the arguments with which Mr. Seligman leads up to a rewarding discussion on objectivity, the direct approach toward art, and its potential effect upon the art world."
