The Enchantment Of Art: As Part Of The Enchantment Of Experience (1914) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167049682)

The Enchantment of Art: As Part of the Enchantment of Experience is a book written by Duncan Phillips and first published in 1914. The book explores the idea that art is not just a visual representation of the world, but rather an enchantment that can transform our experiences and perceptions of the world around us. Phillips argues that art has the power to evoke emotions, inspire imagination, and connect us to the deeper aspects of our humanity. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the nature of art and its relationship to life. Phillips argues that art is not just a representation of reality, but a way of experiencing reality in a more profound and meaningful way. He also explores the role of the artist in society and the importance of art in shaping cultural values.The second part of the book focuses on specific examples of art that Phillips believes embody the enchantment of art. He discusses the works of several artists, including Rembrandt, Velazquez, and El Greco, and analyzes how their art captures the essence of human experience.The final part of the book explores the relationship between art and spirituality. Phillips argues that art can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and that it can help us connect with the divine. He also discusses the role of art in religious traditions and how it can be used to express religious beliefs and values.Overall, The Enchantment of Art: As Part of the Enchantment of Experience is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and power of art. It offers insights into the ways in which art can transform our lives and enrich our experiences of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
