A first printing of American art critic Leo Stein's introduction to aesthetics. In his preface, the author writes "An A-B-C book generally implies the existence of other more authoritative books upon the subject...for aesthetics there are no such books...By calling this little book the A-B-C of Aesthetics I mean to imply that it does not get very far but that it tries to start as near the beginning as possible." Leo Stein (1872-1947) was the older brother of American writer and critic Gertrude Stein. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, he spent several years living in France with his sister before settling into life as an art collector and critic. FORN-ABE-MSB-0422-Shelf-600-am229
