Its profound impact not only on art historians and theorists but also for generations of creative writers and intellectuals is almost unprecedented. Starting from the notion that beauty derives from our sense of being able to identify with an object, Worringer argues that representational art produces satisfaction from our objectified delight in the self, reflecting a confidence in the world as it is-as in Renaissance art. By contrast, the urge to abstraction, as exemplified by Egyptian, Byzantine, primitive, or modern expressionist art, articulates a totally different response to the world: it expresses mans insecurity. Thus in historical periods of anxiety and uncertainty, man seeks to abstract objects from their unpredictable state and transform them into absolute, transcendental forms. <em>Abstraction and Empathy</em> also has a sociological dimension, in that the urge to create fixed, abstract, and geometric forms is a response to the modern experience of industrialization and the sense that individual identity is threatened by a hostile mass society. Hilton Kramers introduction considers the influence of Worringers thesis and places his book in historical context.</p>...4145200Abstraction and Empathy320337https://www.gandhi.com.mx/abstraction-and-empathy-9781461664482/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3519338/ce2efc80-058f-4451-a18a-2e4c0d41a04e.jpg?v=638385489861030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19979781461664482_W3siaWQiOiI1MWI5Y2VmNC0zNTBmLTQxZTYtYjA1Zi1lZDI1NDAxMjkzNTMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMzNywiZGlzY291bnQiOjE3LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjMyMCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781461664482_<p>Wilhelm Worringers landmark study in the interpretation of modern art, first published in 1908, has seldom been out of print.
