Book Reviews of Art as Experience
Book Review: Ambivalent
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was part of the assigned reading for a university seminar entitled "Art and Society." I was given to understand that although it was written 70 years ago, it is still considered to be 'the word' on the subject.
The evolution of the arts, and the increased access to them by ordinary people since this book was written make some of it irrelevant today. Then, there's the 1930s acadamese language. I think most of the seminar attendees (these included doctors, lawyers, a judge, a diplomat, and many university-level educators) found it a difficult read. As one put it, unless your passion is philosophy, discussing philosophy is a lot more fun and rewarding than reading it.
I am a practicing studio artist and arts advocate of several decades experience, and a voracious reader.
