Turkish Traditional Art Today

"It is Mr. Glassie's concern with the artist's view of truth, his complete indifference to the elegant pretension of word and thought...and above all his deep curiosity and willingness to learn and listen from the past and from the present, from the scholar and from the artist, that constitute the miraculous elements of 'Turkish Traditional Art Today'...[It] is not a perfect work, but within its vast purview and intense intimacy Mr. Glassie's wisdom and insight both illuminate and color a living artistic tradition that amply deserves to be brought out of the shadows of its illustrious but distant past."Glassie, Henry H. is the author of 'Turkish Traditional Art Today', published 1993 under ISBN 9780253325556 and ISBN 0253325552.
