This XpressRead Cram Edition of What Is Art? pairs the complete original text with carefully prepared study materials, designed for deeper engagement with this classic.

Leo Tolstoy's What Is Art? delves into the fundamental question of art's purpose and its relationship to morality. Tolstoy challenges conventional notions of beauty and aesthetics, arguing that true art serves a vital function: to unite people through shared emotion and understanding.

This thought-provoking work explores the connection between artistic expression and ethical responsibility. Tolstoy critiques art that caters to the elite, advocating instead for art that is accessible and meaningful to all. He examines various art forms, questioning their value based on his stringent criteria.

A classic exploration of arts and morals, What Is Art? remains relevant for anyone interested in philosophy, aesthetics, and the power of art to shape society. This meticulously prepared print edition offers readers a chance to engage with Tolstoy's profound ideas on the nature of art and its role in human life.
