Book Overview

In this influential philosophical work, Professor Van Dyke explores the nature and purpose of painting, as well as the methods and standards of artistic excellence. Through an analysis of famous artworks and artists, he argues that beauty, harmony, and emotional expressiveness are the key criteria for evaluating painting, rather than mere realism or technique. This book remains a classic in the field of art criticism.
