This stimulating selection of criticism reveals him as a worshipper at the altar of beauty, illuminating his belief that the pursuit of this ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Reviews of exhibitions discuss works by great painters such as Delacroix and Ingres in fascinating detail, and \u003ci\u003eOf Virtuous Plays and Novels\u003c\/i\u003e sees Baudelaire as an avenging angel in defence of true art. Writings on Poe, Flaubert and Gautier evoke a profound understanding of fellow artists, while his single excursion into musical criticism, \u003ci\u003eRichard Wagner and Tannhauser in Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, displays an incisive awareness of the magical power of suggestion in music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533708919072,"sku":"NEW0140446060","price":17.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61gphpljbOL.jpg?v=1777350439","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/baudelaire-selected-writings-on-art-and-literature-penguin-classics-0140446060","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
