add to cart   close window

The article discusses the psychology of arts, the history of art, through the book "The Psychology of Art," vol. 1, "Museum Without Walls," and vol. 2, "The Creative Act." The book is written by André Malroux. Every page of this magnificent work gives evidence of a profound mind nourished by a rich sensibility. It is mentioned in the book that an artist is endowed with sublime imagination, he is a man of destiny, he is an artist, a free man, he shapes history rather than passively mirrors it. He is above all an inventor of visual forms. The article contains some of the most distinguished discussions of art ever written. As far as the apparent organization of this article is concerned, the author seems as perverse as he is brilliant.
