The Shape of Content
by Ben Shahn
paperback in good used condition
"In The Shape of Content, Shahn presents the text of his 1956‑57 Charles Eliot Norton lectures at Harvard University, offering a vivid reflection on the nature of artistic creation, the inseparable relationship between form and content, and the role of the artist in society. He argues that every work of art must have meaningful content and that form—whether painting, drawing, graphic design, or photography—is simply the visible “shape” in which content is made tangible. Through a mix of personal anecdotes, art‑historical observation, and philosophic insight, Shahn shows how an artist’s responsibility goes beyond technique to communication, community, and moral awareness."
