Beschreibung:
This book reveals the antique pedigree of a now commonplace term, "Inspiration," an essential creation-myth presently propelling notions of "self-expression" in modern art-making. Knowledge of the ancient sources and later evolution of such supposedly "modernist" fixations makes a significant contribution to our historical-cultural understanding.
