More about the book

Excerpt from Film The culturally privileged demand a more complicated satis faction. They require, because they are. Educated to assimilate it, the aesthetic aspect, of the arts, ' the highly complex form behind the Shakespearean play and the Shakespearean verse, the beauty of composition in the Greek vase or statue, the carefully balanced aesthetic and psychological values of Renaissance portraiture, and the investigations into the associative values of language in T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. The old and established arts, whether they be crafts or fine arts, have evolved in the course of time a tradition which governs their various forms and the legitimate and illegitimate use of their various mediums - words, paint and canvas, wood and stone, the variety of musical sounds. The long and elaborate history of these arts is the story of the young artists in revolt against the tradition established by their elders and predecessors.
