Description: The Arts by Hendrik Willem Van Loon (1937 Hardcover Edition)This book introduces visual and aural arts through the ages and by distinct areas of the world. This edition has been cheerfully illustrated by Mr. Van Loon."This book was great fun to read especially thinking that van Loon was writing it at the same time the Nazis were taking power and threatening the arts. I found it particularly interesting how deeply t he author went into music in his discourse. Van Loon is easily readable yet filled with fascinating stories and information on every page. Some of his opinions are tied to the time period, others linked to his anxiety over what was happening in Europe, but always, always, he maintained his deepest affection and attention for the artists he profiles and the art an d especially the craftsmanship that determined their success." - Roy Blokker, Amazon ReviewVintage Hardcover / Simon and Schuster / 1937 / Very Good Condition / Wrapped in Mylar Sleeve / Includes vintage 1937 associated bookmark
