Leo Tolstoy’s seminal work, ‘What is Art?’ published in 1898, challenges the elitist notion of art in 19th-century Western society. This impassioned and iconoclastic essay collection, available at The Bookish Owl, argues that art’s purpose transcends mere beauty. Tolstoy boldly critiques renowned artists like Dante, Shakespeare, and Beethoven, proposing that true art must intertwine with religion and science to foster humanity’s spiritual and social advancement. Explore Tolstoy’s profound philosophical inquiry into the true role and impact of art. This influential book is a must-read for lovers of art theory, philosophy, and classic literature.
