Art and Life in Aestheticism

Discover the intricate interplay between art and life in Kelly Comfort's insightful book, Art and Life in Aestheticism. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2008, this 240-page paperback challenges the long-held notion that aestheticism seeks to de-humanize art. Instead, Comfort presents a compelling counterargument, exploring how this perceived de-humanization can actually foster a deeper connection between the artistic realm and our everyday experiences. This thought-provoking work is ideal for anyone interested in the Arts and Crafts movement and the philosophical underpinnings of aestheticism. Dive into this first edition and expand your understanding of how art influences and reflects our lives.
