The Best Book I Ever Read About Art

I read this in graduate school, and more than anything else that I have read, it helped me to understand what art is and how it works. I don't just mean visual art either - all the arts. This really should be required reading for any educated reader with the passion for the arts. I would gladly buy it again - but not at the ridiculous price this publisher wants for it.

Langer is 1 of the best art philosophers of the 20th Century

I have read two chapters by her in a undergrad class that surveys aesthetic philosophy, I am buying this book to dig in deeper to what she has to say. If you are interested in a book which defines every word effectively, and is written in Modern American English, this is your author.

This book has become an obsesive challenge.

I have only read chapter 1 and I would like more imput on the chapters pertaining to visual art.
