Dont waste your timeBy Robert HydeDont waste your time. I thought I was getting the book by Worringer. instead I received some sappy reprint issue of "The healing light" by Agnes Sanford. The cover was the one for Worringers book. but the title and cover did not correspond to the insides of the book which was a completely different book. Obviously this reprint process is flawed.. it would be better to find an older edition. even a beat -up or ex-library copy to read. rather than this mucked up joke of a reprint copy.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. One of the key documents of modern artBy Chandan Das GuptaPublished in 1908 . this doctoral dissertation of Wilhelm Worringer soon became the most valid theoritical support for Expressionism.Elaborating the idea of Riegls "kunstwolen"(roughly means the will to create)Worringer suggested that the history of art is the history of artistic intentions raher than the artistic skills which culminated in the scientific observaton of the external world and became a Greco-Roman-Reaissance tradition.Empathy .on he oher hand.is a subjective approach to aesthetics and fails to exlplain the arts outside the European tradition.So a more fundamental phychology is needed and Worringer explained that how this "will to form" at any period of human history is related to a mans surrounding world which causes him insecurity and fear. Art is a responce to overcome this constant flow of randomness and becomes a corrective to this feeling by means of creating permanent asthetic forms. Great book .Physical shape and large font of this book is highly satisfying.Also read authors "Form in Gothic".
