What Is Art? New Edition By Tolstoy, Leo Paperback by Leo Tolstoy
A philosophical critique of artistic practice that defines genuine art as the sincere transmission of feeling from creator to audience, arguing that art’s value lies in its moral and spiritual power to unite people rather than in technical skill or aestheticism. It condemns art that is elitist, insincere, or divorced from common human experience and calls for clarity, authenticity, and accessibility so art can fulfill its social and ethical function. The work challenges contemporary institutions and tastes, proposing that true art promotes empathy, shared values, and spiritual health.
