Theory of art; History of Art & Design Styles

Written for The English Review in 1913, this essay says more about Crowley than about American Art. It was much criticised by contemporary American artists for its prejudice and unfairness. Crowley says in his Confessions that he planned other, more positive essays dealing with the present and future of American Art. The essay's lasting value is historical -- how differently things have come to look in the intervening seventy years.

"Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), also known as ""The Great Beast"" and the ""Wickedest Man in the World"" was one of the most profound students of Magick, Qabalah and Yoga. His vast influence reaches through all modern occultism. He is widely recognised as the first Western investigator to give initiation a truly scientific method. In reconciling occultism to physical science, mathematics and philosophy, Crowley achieved a lasting synthesis that remains unsurpassed for depth of insight and comprehensiveness."
