Description: The Gothic Cathedral by Otto von Simson paperback in good used condition "The value of this book lies in its approach to two essential problems. The first one is concerned with the appreciation of Gothic architecture. Was it rational (according to Viollet le Duc), or was it illusionistic (according to Pol Abraham)? It was symbolic in its conception, answers von Simson; mystical in its aim, and calculated in its principles. The second problem pertains to the relationship between thought, society, and art. Von Simson shows that in Gothic architecture history creates its own symbols, whether political, economic, intellectual, or artistic, all of them following an independent but convergent spiritual pattern."
