The author has spent a lifetime analyzing the basic psychological principles that make works of visual art meaningful, stirring, indispensable and lasting. But recent attitudes and theories about art, he argues, are undermining the foundation of artistic achievement itself. The essays collected in this volume amount to a call to arms.
