About This Item
New York: The World Publishing Company, 1969. First edition of this collection of essays regarding the nature of art. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with light wear to the extremities. Jacket design by Tom Lincoln. Ayn Rand argues that objective standards in art are possible because art is not a subjective luxury, but rather a critical need of human lifenot a material need, but a need of mans rational mind, the faculty on which his material survival depends. The Romantic Manifesto takes its place beside The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as one of the most important achievements of our time.
Synopsis
Ayn Rand throws a new light on the nature of art in this collection of essays and works regarding the state of art in her objectivist viewpoint. This text provides a comprehensive look at what defines art, and how the kinds of art/literature/music that one is drawn to is a direct reflection of their inner philosophy.
