Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Art
2. Some minds relish external beauty: they create material representations; hence the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Others, again, by the combination of sounds, attempt to express those finer sentiments of the heart, that lan guage fails to define; hence the musical art. Still another class prefer to clothe their imaginations in rhythmical language; hence the art of poetry. These are termed Imitative Arts and Fine Arts. The fine arts so called, are all imitative arts, but the imitative arts are not all fine arts.' The fine arts are Poetry, Music, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, and Dancing.
