Author Description

Art and Common Sense is a book written by Royal Cortissoz and originally published in 1913. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between art and everyday life.

The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the role of art in education to the importance of public art in cities. Throughout the book, Cortissoz emphasizes the need for a greater appreciation of art and its potential to enrich our lives. He also provides insights into the work of some of the most important artists of his time, including John Singer Sargent and Auguste Rodin. Art and Common Sense is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between art and everyday life, written by one of the leading art critics of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
