In this little book I have tried to develop a complete theory of visual art. I have put forward an hypothesis by reference to which the respectability- though not the validity- of all aesthetic judgments can be tested- in the light of which the history of art from palaeolithic days to the present becomes intelligible; by adopting which we give intellectual backing to an almost universal and immemorial conviction.'
