Description

This scholarly work by Karl F. Morrison examines the foundational distinction ancient writers drew between art and style, revealing how free imitation became a liberating force that enabled artists to transcend mechanical copying and rigid stylistic conventions. Originally published in 1982, this edition from Princeton Legacy Library brings this influential study back into circulation using modern print-on-demand technology, allowing readers to access the original unaltered text while benefiting from contemporary production standards. Morrison's exploration of mimetic traditions traces their far-reaching impact on Western intellectual and artistic development, making this volume essential for historians, art theorists, and scholars interested in how creative freedom emerged from classical aesthetic principles and shaped subsequent reform movements across centuries.
