Description
The collection of the prominent American economist Dr. Horace “Woody” Brock spans from the decorative arts (most notably French and English objects from the eighteenth century) to Old Master drawings and paintings. Brock’s interests encompass the philosophy of science, moral philosophy and aesthetics–concerns that directly inform his personal collecting strategy. Virtually every object in this volume has been selected according to Brock’s highly original theory of beauty in design, which is brilliantly elucidated here.
