Art as Music, Music as Poetry, Poetry as Art, from Whistler to Stravinsky and Beyond

The book "The Subtlety of Art" by Peter Dayan is a groundbreaking exploration of the intermedial aesthetic, which revolutionized the way we think about art and its value.

Through a detailed analysis of the works of artists such as Whistler, Braque, Apollinaire, Ponge, Satie, Stravinsky, and others, Dayan uncovers the hidden principles that governed their creative process and how they challenged traditional notions of medium-specificity.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true value of art and its ability to transcend boundaries.
