Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book contains two essays by the painter Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779). These writings are influential and important texts in the theory of art and aesthetics. The first essay, Reflections on Beauty and Taste, defines the essential qualities that comprise beauty. Mengs argues that beauty is an objective property of things, and that it can be analyzed and understood through reason. The second essay, On Taste, explores the role of taste in the appreciation of art. Mengs argues that taste is a subjective quality, and that it is influenced by a variety of factors, including culture, education, and personal experience. Both of Mengs' essays are essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of art, aesthetics, or the history of art theory.
