- Summary:
- The work of art has often been a battleground--its decorative and formal aspects positioned against its nature as an embodiment of cognitive acts. Leonardo da Vinci's claim that art be a "cosa mentale" is winning at last: recent debates around art schools and their methods, of which this book is a vast survey, demonstrate that, now more than ever, art is considered the result of a thinking process.
