Sobre IBD

At a time when every cultural value has been questioned, when there seem to be no limits to what can be described as ’art’, and when doubt has been cast upon truth itself, this book argues for the fact of certain fundamental principles within the field of Art and seeks to establish their nature.Referring to many examples, ’Art, Love and Truth’ is both a study in discrimination, serving to distinguish artworks which enhance our awareness from those which impoverish it, and a meditation on the power of artists to express compassion.Passionate and radical, scholarly and entertaining, it will appeal to everyone interested in art, culture and spirituality.
