The meaning of art, its nature, rôle, and value
An English translation of Paul Gaultier's aesthetic treatise on the nature and value of art, published by George Allen in London in 1913 for general readers and students of aesthetics. The forty-three halftone plates reproduce European sculpture, painting and portrait busts — Baroque draped figures, tomb monuments, group scenes — in soft grey tones with visible plate edges, useful as monochrome art-historical reference and texture.
