Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Journal of Psychology, 1942, Vol. 11
The objection that we can enjoy works of art without knowing how they are done, and that in moments of highest aesthetic enjoyment we become unconscious of the means, is only apparent. Directly the means are used out of character we do become conscious of them, whether we understand their characteristic use or not; as is implied in the old saying ars est celare artem.
