- Summary:
- A theory of art may be many things, from a complex philosophical treatise to a few basic observations jotted down by an artist that illumine the direction of his work. The late eighteenth-and nineteenth-century writings gathered here were selected not because they completely formulate systems governing art, but because they were closely allied with artists responded, and some were composed by critics or historians who were in close touch with the artists and sought to explain their artistic goals.
