The Idealism of Art by Alexander R. Goldie is a scholarly exploration of the concept of idealism in art. The book examines the ways in which artists throughout history have sought to express idealized visions of the world through their work, and how these visions have been shaped by cultural, social, and philosophical factors. Drawing on a wide range of examples from both Western and non-Western art traditions, Goldie offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the relationship between idealism and artistic expression. The book is aimed at scholars and students of art history, philosophy, and cultural studies, as well as anyone with an interest in the ways in which art reflects and shapes our understanding 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.
