Produced by Albert László, Turgut Dincer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Modern Painting, Its Tendency and Meaning" by Willard Huntington Wright is an art criticism text written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the evolution of painting, encouraging a deeper understanding of the principles that define the value and significance of art. The book explores the psychological and aesthetic shifts from ancient to modern styles and critiques the misconceptions surrounding modern art movements. The opening of the work sets the stage for a discussion on the misunderstandings that have plagued modern painting, addressing the need for a critical framework to evaluate its merits. Wright articulates that true appreciation of art requires recognizing the inherent qualities of a painting through intellectual reasoning rather than superficial judgments based on personal taste or narrative content. He argues that a profound emotional response is the essence of great art and strives to analyze the motivations and influences of modern painters, positioning modern art as a continuation of traditional practices elevated through innovative methods and perspectives.
