On Art and Artists is a collection of Huxley’s essays that examines the role of art in society, the nature of creativity, and the relationship between artistic expression and human perception. Drawing from his broad knowledge of literature, philosophy, and aesthetics, Huxley offers insightful critiques of various artistic movements and figures, emphasizing the transformative power of art.
