<p>The 'Discourses on Art' of Sir Joshua Reynolds form one of the most eloquent literary documents in the history of European art. Composed as lectures to the students at the Royal Academy in the late eighteenth century, they both summarize the art theory of the previous three hundred years and point towards attitudes prevalent in the nineteenth century. Reynolds' general topic is the education of the artist. He is concerned with the essentials of the problem: the purpose of art, the nature of the creative process, and the artist's relation to tradition. He treats these questions with a breadth and clarity that won the immediate admiration of his contemporaries and have continued to hold the attention of readers ever since. No other body of art criticism by an Englishman has enjoyed such sustained respect. This standard edition of the 'Discourses' is reissued in a new format and with illustrations. It has long been recognised as a fundamental text for the study of eighteenth-century English painting, and this edition is generally considered to be the definitive one. Robert R. Wark was curator of art collections at the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery.</p>

There are two ways to know when you are entering Jackapo County, South Carolina.The first is the sign. It is rusted through now and lays limp and bent in a ditch on the side of the road, its green face strangled by the thick, fleshy kudzu vines that pervade the county like the bulging veins of an arthritic. But it's there, greeting visitors as they come.The second way is more instinctive. You know when you are in Jackapo County when the hairs on the back of your neck rise and your bowels clench, for there are many hidden places in Jackapo County. Some bloom with achingly colorful wildflowers, in others things hide from the light beneath the boughs of nodding trees and wait until dark to emerge.So welcome to Jackapo County. We hope you enjoy your stay...
