Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-28 00:00:00 Jerome Stewart این کتاب در ایران با عنوان "تحولات ذوق هنری در غرب، گرایش به هنرهای آغازین" توسط محمدتقی فرامرزی ترجمه شده است. که ترجمه چندان خوبی نیست. اما کتاب بسیار بسیار جذاب و الهام بخشی بود برای من. ارنست گامبریج در این کتاب (که آخرین کتاب قبل از مرگش بود) با نقل قول ها و مثالهای مختلف استدلال می کند که سلیقه و ذائقه بشر نسبت به هنر عوض شده است و به سمت ابتدایی گرایی حرکت کرده است، و آثار هنر کلاسیک دیگر چندان مقبول و جذاب نیست

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-16 00:00:00 Matthew Leclerc "Those masters, so overrated in their day, and so underrated in ours." --Baudelaire "In Manet, Baudelaire must have sensed a certain division between the picturesque romanticism which was dying out, and the realism which resulted from it as by an elemantary reflex, easily taking its place, as if by a reaction of mental distaste and weariness. Just as the eye replies with a 'green' to a too prolonged and insistent 'red,' so too, in the arts, an overindulgence in fantasy is compensated for by a regime of 'truth.' Which is no reason why one side should insult the other; nor why one side should consider itself bolder, and the other consider itself infinitely wiser." --Valery
