<DIV><DIV>R<B>enowned French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre references artists such as Tintoretto, Calder, Lapoujade, Titian, Raphael, and Michaelangelo in discussing how great art of the past relates to the challenges of his era</b></div><DIV><i>Essays in Aesthetics </i>is a provocative collection that considers the nature of art and its meaning. Sartre considers the artist&rsquo;s &ldquo;function,&rdquo; and the relation of art and the artist to the human condition. Sartre integrates his deep concern for the sensibilities of the artist with a fascinating analysis of the techniques of the artist as creator. The result is a vibrant manifesto of existentialist aesthetics.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>By looking at existentialism through the lens of great art, <i>Essays in Aesthetics</i> is just as valuable a read to the artist as it is to the philosopher.</div><DIV>&#160;</div></div>
