Reading Artist’s Words

German Romanticisim and French Aesthetic Theory

We cannot suppose we see artists in the form of their art; and when we raise the metaphor of style a power, from the distinc character of the stylus, pen, or hand of an individual to the stylus, pen or hand of a place or time, the Central Italian Style or the Renaissance style — we have introduced even more problems. Place and time in effect become “super artists” anthropomorphic entities in their own right.
