A study of European art and related ideas in contact with the Pacific 1768-1850
Abstract
The central ideas presented in this study together with most of
the work concerned with individual writers and artists have arisen
directly from research and reflection upon the primary sources
examined. Indebtedness either in the matter of argument or fact
has been acknowledged appropriately in the footnotes. Even so it
is a pleasant duty to acknowledge that Dr. K. Badt’s John
Constable's Clouds , Dr. O. Pacht's 'Early Italian Nature Studies’,
and Dr. E. Wind’s ’The Revolution in History Painting' have been
found most suggestive and are, in a sense, germinal to the central
argument of the study. It will be obvious that it also owes much
to Professor A. 0. Lovejoy’s studies in the history of ideas. (First paragraph of Preface).
