3831974The Analysis of Beauty: Written with a View of Fixing the Fluctuating Ideas of Tastehttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-analysis-of-beauty-written-with-a-view-of-fixing-the-fluctuating-ideas-of-taste-9781465607652/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2765075/66c05db3-ec5a-4f6b-b7da-6c29efdc6fa1.jpg?v=638384421852670000102102MXNLibrary of AlexandriaInStock/Ebooks/<p>I now offer to the public a short essay, accompanied with two explanatory prints, in which I shall endeavour to shew what the principles are in nature, by which we are directed to call the forms of some bodies beautiful, others ugly; some graceful, and others the reverse; by considering more minutely than has hitherto been done, the nature of those lines, and their different combinations, which serve to raise in the mind the ideas of all the variety of forms imaginable. At first, perhaps, the whole design, as well as the prints, may seem rather intended to trifle and confound, than to entertain and inform: but I am persuaded that when the examples in nature, referrd to in this essay, are duly considerd and examined upon the principles laid down in it, it will be thought worthy of a careful and attentive perusal: and the prints themselves too will, I make no doubt, be examined as attentively, when it is found, that almost every figure in them (how odly soever they may seem to be groupd together) is referrd to singly in the essay, in order to assist the readers imagination, when the original examples in art, or nature, are not themselves before him. And in this light I hope my prints will be considerd, and that the figures referrd to in them will never be imagined to be placed there by me as examples themselves, of beauty or grace, but only to point out to the reader what sorts of objects he is to look for and examine in nature, or in the works of the greatest masters. My figures, therefore, are to be considerd in the same light, with those a mathematician makes with his pen, which may convey the idea of his demonstration, tho not a line in them is either perfectly straight, or of that peculiar curvature he is treating of. Nay, so far was I from aiming at grace, that I purposely chose to be least accurate, where most beauty might be expected, that no stress might be laid on the figures to the prejudice of the work itself. For I must confess, I have but little hopes of having a favourable attention given to my design in general, by those who have already had a more fashionable introduction into the mysteries of the arts of painting, and sculpture. Much less do I expect, or in truth desire, the countenance of that set of people, who have an interest in exploding any kind of doctrine, that may teach us to see with our own eyes.</p>...3767765The Analysis of Beauty: Written with a View of Fixing the Fluctuating Ideas of Taste102102https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-analysis-of-beauty-written-with-a-view-of-fixing-the-fluctuating-ideas-of-taste-9781465607652/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2765075/66c05db3-ec5a-4f6b-b7da-6c29efdc6fa1.jpg?v=638384421852670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219781465607652_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9781465607652_<p>I now offer to the public a short essay, accompanied with two explanatory prints, in which I shall endeavour to shew what the principles are in nature, by which we are directed to call the forms of some bodies beautiful, others ugly; some graceful, and others the reverse; by considering more minutely than has hitherto been done, the nature of those lines, and their different combinations, which serve to raise in the mind the ideas of all the variety of forms imaginable.
