Bencrox Hong Kong

An excellent old book republished. This is a classic textbook promoting liberal arts, especially showing importance of artistic training. The writer touched a little bit about neuro-science, but quickly turn back to positivism.

It is a book for art lovers who cannot draw. It helps you to develop sketching skill gradually, not showing off genius.

Teachers should love it. The writer's self experience and frustration on "unable to teach something", is solved systematically. It proves everyone can learn to draw, in oppose to drawing skill as a gift.

This book is not about theory or criticism. It provides bare material, most are stories from different epoch and different culture.

Chapter Six is rather impressive and worth to be glanced at first. In this chapter, the writer made a bold statement on measuring civilization strength by the degree of freedom upon sex. Falls of great powers often laid accompany with homophobic stress.
