A daring celebration of beauty, wit, and fierce taste Ivory, Apes and Peacocks invites you into the electric mind of James Huneker. This vivid collection of art criticism essays and literary essays collection surveys the triumphs and follies of early 20th century culture with sparkle, authority, and irresistible voice. Huneker ranges from music and art analysis to trenchant cultural commentary, offering historical art insights and essays on aesthetics that remain uncannily modern: portraits of composers, painters, performers, and the social scenes that shaped them, written in intellectual prose that entertains as it enlightens.More than a period piece, Ivory, Apes and Peacocks book is a work of enduring insight part manifesto, part salon conversation capturing the passions and paradoxes of an age when art remade daily life. Its keen, sometimes acerbic reviews teach readers how to listen, look, and think about beauty in any era. This edition restores Huneker s voice for today s readers and collectors alike, balancing readable critique with profound historical perspective.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this restored edition is not merely a reprint it s a collector s item and a cultural treasure, carefully prepared for today s and future generations. Essential for fans of James Huneker literature, art and music critique, and anyone seeking a spirited guide through the aesthetic currents of a transformative era.
