The Classic Point of View: Six Lectures on Painting, Delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago in the Year 1911 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Classic Point of View: Six Lectures on Painting, Delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago in the Year 1911I have therefore welcomed the opportunity afforded by theinvitation from The Art Institute Of Chicago to deliver the Scammon Lectures for 1911 to draw up a definitive credo - a detailed and explicit confession Of artistic faith. The following pages will, accordingly, be found to con tain a statement, as clear as I can make it, Of what one painter believes and hopes and fears with regard to painting; Of what he takes to be the malady Of modern art, and Of where he looks for the remedy for it. It would be little less than miraculous if such a statement Of be lief should contain the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It must contain errors, and may contain wrongheadedness. At least it is an honest attempt at a contribution to the truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

On February 17, 1913, the American Association of Painters and Sculptors opened the Armory Show in New York. The ad-hoc association had started out with the modest goal of showing some of the "new" art coming out of Europe--Duchamp, Matisse, Picasso and many more of todayâ€™s acknowledged masters. What they ultimately created was a sprawling showcase of some of the most ground-breaking (many said subversive) art America had ever seen. "For and Against" is the frank and engaging account of this historic show's original reception, capturing the full range of impassioned opinion both for and against the new art. First published, remarkably, by the show's organizers and sold at its Chicago venue, "For and Against" has long been out of print, but this new, expanded edition brings the Armory story to life once again.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
