.701 H61

"Divides his inquiry into two parts, the first being an effort to find what
is the original 'art impulse'... and the second, an endeavor to trace
the actual origin of several of the arts as apart from the general art im-
pulse... The book is learned, ingenious and modest, and is marked by
an excellence of English style quite astonishing in the work of a
foreigner." Nation, 1901.

Laocoön; an essay upon the limits of painting and poetry. 1893.....

.70I L64

"Ranks as a classic not only in German but in European literature, and
its style alone, which is as near perfection as anything Lessing ever
wrote would almost entitle it to this position. His central aim is to
define by analysis the limitations of poetry and the plastic arts.
Many of his conclusions have been corrected and extended by later
criticism, but he indicated more decisively than any of his prede-
cessors the fruitful principle that each art is subject to definite con-
ditions." Encyclopædia Britannica.

script by W. R. Roberts. 1899....
Bibliography, p.247-261.

..1701 L83

"The object of the author...is to indicate broadly the essentials of a
noble and impressive style. In fact if we were to describe the treatise
as one on style, or even on literary criticism generally, we should be

nearer the mark than if we connected it solely with the idea of
'sublimity' in the narrower sense." Translator's introduction.
"The earliest work in which the Sublime is treated as a distinct aesthetic
quality, within or beside the Beautiful." Gayley & Scott's Literary
criticism.

RAYMOND, George Lansing.

The genesis of art-form; an essay in comparative æsthetics.

1893

...

.701 R24

"The theory upon which the book is based is that as in scientific classification, the aim is to emphasize in each object of thought the ideas which are essential to the purposes of classification, so in art the aim of composition is to emphasize in each work of art the idea which it is the main purpose of the artist to express." Dial, 1893. Painting, sculpture and architecture as representative arts; an essay in comparative æsthetics. 1895.....

.701 R24p

An application to the "arts of sight" of the author's principles that "art in general is nature made human, and that art of the highest character is nature made human in the highest sense." Proportion and harmony of line and color in painting, sculpture and architecture; an essay in comparative æsthetics. 1899 .....

a study and exposition of proportion in landscape and the human
form." Literary world, 1900.

Representative significance of form; an essay in comparative
æsthetics. 1900

.701 R24г The prestige of Mr Raymond's professorship of æsthetics in Princeton university (1901) is insufficient to shield this work from harsh criticism in English and American reviews, both in regard to the soundness of its principles and the manner in which they are set forth.

RUSKIN, John.

Eagle's nest; the relation of natural science to art. 1893.......701 R89
Ten lectures given before the University of Oxford in 1872.

"The Lectures have little of the character of an elaborate treatise, but
are rather the free and unmethodical discourse of a man of genius on

a general topic to which he had given much reflection, and with
which his mind was full." C. E. Norton.

Lectures on art. 1891.

.701 R891

1900.....

..701 S33

"Most of Schiller's aesthetic writings and especially his Aesthetic Let-
ters, are well adapted to the understanding of beginners. Their place
in the history of Aesthetics, however, can be appreciated only when
they are read in the light of Kant's Critique of Judgment, from which
their material is principally drawn." Gayley & Scott's Literary
criticism.

v.2. Philosophy of art in Italy.-Philosophy of art in the Netherlands.
-Philosophy of art in Greece.

"Have attracted much attention because of the literary reputation of
their author...If a reader is thoroughly familiar with any...
epoch or style of art, he will find Mr. Taine's criticism of the...
epoch in question very feeble indeed." Russell Sturgis.

Philosophy of art. 1865...

.701 T14

"The difficulty with such criticism is that any simple theory about a
work of art, its nature, its relation to other works of art, and its place
in the general world of art, is generally a false, or at least an inade-
quate theory." Russell Sturgis.

TOLSTOI, Lyof Nikolaïevitch, count.

What is art? 1898......

WINCKELMANN, Johann Joachim.

Italian text.

Complete works, prefaced by Eiselein's biography. v.4 consists entirely
of fine plates.

"Winckelmann ranks among the foremost writers of the 18th century,
and it is hardly possible to overrate the services rendered by him to
archæology and the study of ancient art. With wide learning and an
extraordinary power of accurate observation he combined imagination
and feeling, and through him the modern world obtained something
like a true conception not only of particular works of Greek art, but of
the general intellectual movement from which they sprang." Encyclo-
pædia Britannica.

..b703 V34

"This work is several dictionaries in one. The first volume is devoted
to furniture, with as an appendix some very interesting essays on the
method of construction in the Middle Ages. The second volume deals
with utensils...then with goldsmith's work, then with musical instru-
ments, and then with sports and pastimes, including hunting and the
tournament, and gives finally a few pages to tools of the carpenter
and blacksmith, etc.-a very curious encyclopædia of life in the
Middle Ages... The text is throughout of the most suggestive char-
acter, and generally trustworthy; the illustrations have that extra-
ordinary value which has been spoken of under the same author's
'Dictionary of Architecture." " Russell Sturgis.

"A dozen papers about different detached phases of painting, ancient
and modern, and a few words about sculpture. There is a serious
lack of exact comprehension of art as a special and peculiar means of
expression, and errors occur, hard to account for, but a good general
impression can be got in each case. Good and well-chosen illustra-
tions. The chapter on the Impressionists is very good." Russell

.704 H19 "This book, which formed originally part of "The Painter's Camp' is worth reading because of its suggestiveness. Thus, some of the various ways in which different painters undertake their work are made clear in the chapters on 'Painting from Nature' and 'Painting from Memoranda.' The general relation of art, and especially painting, to the general world of thought and perception is more plainly seen after study of this book, especially in the chapters, 'Transcendentalism in Painting' and 'Analysis and Synthesis.'
