This volume also covers major aspects, such as the role of intellectualism, the description of abstract and primitive art, and the unison of symbolism and individual portraiture in premodern cultures.
Formerly known as ‘Why Exhibit Works of Art?’, this book is a study of Christian and Eastern arts. The book is a collection of articles written by Coomaraswamy, which were published in reputed art journals and pamphlets, and notes of reviews of different artists published in New York, Boston, Paris, Calcutta, and London. This nine-essay volume looks upon certain aspects of the philosophy of art in both worlds, as there are various issues and subjects such as its usage, aesthetics, nature of medieval art, application of mathematics and its beauty in art, and perception of folklore and popular art.

Ananda K. Coomaraswamy (22 August 1877–9 September 1947) is a Ceylon-based metaphysician, historian, theorist, and philosopher of Indian art. He brought the Indian tradition of art into the western world. He was also seen as the bridge-maker between western and Indian art and philosophy, as he was much inspired by Hindu and Greco-Roman traditions.
