Seller's Description:
G+ (book shows wear at corners, particularly at bottom of spine and some spots of fading, all pages clear and intact-dust jacket (if present) shows significant age toning and discoloration and also chipping and a few tears. Gray cloth boards with blue spine lettering 100 pp. "'Why abstract? ' That is the question constantly put to modern painters by laymen astonished by the trends of modern art. Hilaire Hiler, himself an abstract painter and a color theorist, answers that question in plain, non-technical language which anyone can understand. Hiler than takes up a number of other important problems which confront the modern painter: the role of the creative artist in our social economy; the influence of scientific discoveries on the technique of painting; the relation of painting and politics; and others. Henry Miller and William Saroyan join Hiler in the discussion. Saroyan is particularly interested in the nature of what we call 'genius' in a painter. Miller's narrative recounts his experience as a student artist in Hiler's Paris atelier. Why Abstract? is a book which will stimulate much controversial but constructive thinking about modern art among laymen and artists alike."-dust jacket description.
