The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure, and Human Evolution Denis Dutton
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA


The Art Instinct explores two fascinating and contentious fields-art and evolutionary science-in a provocative work that will change forever the way think about the arts, from Polynesian carvings to Pride and Prejudice. Human tastes in art, Denis Dutton argues, are evolutionary traits, shaped by natural selection. Our love of beauty is inborn, and many aesthetic preferences are universal-such as the one for landscapes that feature water and distant trees, like the savannah where we first evolved. Dutton overturns a century of art theory and criticism and restores the place of beauty, pleasure, and skill as artistic values. The Art Instinct offers radical new insights into both the nature of art and the workings of the human mind.
