"Euterpe; or, The future of art" by Lionel R. McColvin is a study that looks at how art changed and how people saw it in the early 1900s. It checks out the switch in the art world when machines and making lots of stuff started changing how art was made and used. The book says that liking art is more important than just making it, pushing for everyone to get a chance to see all kinds of art, so they can like culture more. McColvin chats about how machines and selling stuff affect how good art is, showing how these things have made more art available, but maybe not as good. He thinks about how the people who pay for and share art have changed over time, and how that changes what people like in music, books, and pictures. To wrap it up, McColvin wants schools to teach people how to like art more and wants everyone to work together to make sure good art is still around, saying that these things are super important for art to matter in the future.
Euterpe; or, The future of art
By Lionel R. (Lionel Roy) McColvin
Step back in time to witness a world grappling with the dawn of mass-produced art, as society questions if appreciating art is more vital than its creation.
