The Nemesis Of Mediocrity (1917)

By Ralph Adams Cram

Book Overview

The Nemesis of Mediocrity is a book written by Ralph Adams Cram and published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays that explores the author's views on architecture, art, and culture. Cram argues that mediocrity is the greatest threat to artistic and cultural progress, and that it is the responsibility of artists and thinkers to challenge it. He also discusses the importance of tradition and the role of the artist in preserving and advancing it. The book is a reflection of Cram's own experiences as an architect and his belief in the power of art and culture to shape society. It is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between art, culture, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
