Modern Art. 19th and 20th Centuries. Selected Papers

This fourth volume of Professor Meyer Schapiro's Selected Papers contains his most important writings — some well‑known and others previously unpublished — on the theory and philosophy of art. Schapiro's highly lucid arguments, graceful prose, and extraordinary erudition guide readers through a rich variety of fields and issues: the roles in society of the artist and art, of the critic and criticism; the relationships between patron and artist, psychoanalysis and art, and philosophy and art.
