London: Phaidon [0-7148-3245-6] 1994. (Small 4to paperback) 182+. Near fine. Notes, index, bibliography, photographs, illustrations. The back cover is lightly rubbed. "Meditations on a Hobby Horse, originally published in 1963, was the first volume in the author's long and distinguished series of collected essays. In it he addresses some of the most fundamental questions in the theory of art. Having explored, in the famous title essay, the links between the creation of images and the mentality of the child, he returns to the adult's experience of the arts in the light of the metaphors we use to describe our emotional reactions".
