Features: Art is the primary way of imagining life, and through art, the imagination of life generates motivation and control within our hearts. The highest pleasure in art remains consistent with the highest pleasure in scientific theory. Emotions that complement clear understanding in a complex whole appear very close in both art and science, and it is not difficult to imagine that they are also psychologically identical. This refers to the near-stage of the process, where in science, this overall emotion accompanies the generation of a purely mechanical reasoning process; in art, it follows with a process that always keeps emotion as a fundamental companion. This book is a collection of selected essays on art by the British formalist critic Roger Fry, covering more than two decades from 1990 to 1920. It includes the writings from the first half of his critical career. All the articles are related to artistic practice, containing rich theoretical thoughts and numerous argumentative and discursive essays. These articles the core views of Roger Fry—that the form of art holds the most important significance. The author is knowledgeable and has unique insights, making many judgments about art history and modern art very classic.
