“The basic purpose of art is not to teach, but to show—to hold up to man a concretized image of his nature and his place in the universe": First Edition of The Romantic Manifesto; Signed by Ayn Rand
First edition of this collection of essays regarding the nature of art. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Ayn Rand on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Tom Lincoln.
Ayn Rand argues that objective standards in art are possible because art is not a subjective luxury, but rather a critical need of human life—not a material need, but a need of man’s rational mind, the faculty on which his material survival depends. The Romantic Manifesto takes its place beside The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as one of the most important achievements of our time.
