Excerpt from A History of Sculpture Much that might properly occur in the preface Of this book will be found in its Opening chapter. I there set out the ground to be covered, and define the point Of view from which I have treated my facts. These few remarks will, accordingly, be addressed to any, who may think that a work bearing the title A History Of Sculpture requires a word Of introduction. My justification for the title and, indeed, for the work as a whole, is that I have not attempted to write a new text-book. In my View, all great art is essentially national art. It can therefore only be understood in the light Of national and international history. For this lreason, I have given much more attention to the, artistic interpreta tion Of historical events and social circumstances than most historians Of the arts have deemed necessary. Throughout I have written from the standpoint Of one who believes that the great, schools Of sculpture were created, not by individuals of genius, but by the peoples to whom they appealed. A work written on these lines can fairly claim to be A History Of Sculpture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
