Part Second of the preceding Work,
NAMELY,
ÆSTHETIC CULTURE;
OR,
THE ART-IDEA,
BY
JAMES JACKSON JARVES.
This portion of the work is intended to show the importance of Art-culture individually and nationally, and treats of Art in relation to principles, religions, races, climate, artists, and science, with particular reference to its quality and prospects in America, embracing a critical review of the works of many of our living artists, as compared with European artists of the present and past ages, and a historical review of Art-motives of ancient and modern times. A competent critic who has examined the MS., pronounces it “an original and vigorous Æsthetic Treatise, evincing a profound study of the subject, and a rare insight into the principles of Art.”
