Art And Artlessness is a book written by Madeline Leslie and first published in 1863. The book explores the relationship between art and the absence of art, or ""artlessness."" Leslie argues that art is not just about creating beautiful objects, but also about the process of creating and the emotions and experiences that come with it. She also discusses the importance of art in society and how it can be used to express ideas and emotions that cannot be put into words. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of art and artlessness, including the role of art in education, the value of amateur art, and the importance of appreciating art in everyday life. Leslie's writing is clear and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
