The Artistic Ordering Of Life: An Address (1898)

By Albert Stanburrough Cook

Book Overview

The Artistic Ordering Of Life: An Address is a book written by Albert Stanburrough Cook and originally published in 1898. The book is a philosophical exploration of the idea that life can be seen as a work of art, and that by applying artistic principles to our lives, we can create a more beautiful and meaningful existence.Cook argues that just as a painter carefully arranges the colors and shapes on a canvas to create a pleasing composition, we can similarly arrange the various elements of our lives to create a harmonious and satisfying whole. He suggests that we should approach life as an artist approaches their work, with a focus on balance, proportion, and beauty.The book explores various aspects of life that can be seen through an artistic lens, including relationships, work, and leisure time. Cook also discusses the importance of self-reflection and self-understanding in this process, as well as the role of education and culture in shaping our artistic sensibilities.Overall, The Artistic Ordering Of Life: An Address is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between art and life, and offers practical advice for those seeking to live a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
