Synopsis

In this group of essays, Sartre considers the nature and meaning of art, the function of the artist, and the relation of art and artist to the human condition. Offering extensive analyses of Giacometti, Tintoretto, Calder and Lapoujade, he examines the relationship of the artist's work to the challenges of his era. Sartre also broadens his perspective with references to Titian, Raphael, Michelangelo and many others.
