Gray cloth boards with blue spine lettering 100 pp. "'Why abstract' That is the question constantly put to modern painters by laymen astonished by the trends of modern art. Hilaire Hiler himself an abstract painter and a color theorist answers that question in plain non-technical language which anyone can understand. Hiler than takes up a number of other important problems which confront the modern painter: the role of the creative artist in our social economy; the influence of scientific discoveries on the technique of painting; the relation of painting and politics; and others. Henry Miller and William Saroyan join Hiler in the discussion. Saroyan is particularly interested in the nature of what we call 'genius' in a painter. Miller's narrative recounts his experience as a student artist in Hiler's Paris atelier. Why Abstract is a book which will stimulate much controversial but constructive thinking about modern art among laymen and artists alike." - dust jacket description. J. Laughlin hardcover books
