This work for me is deep difficult interesting and not always understandable. Maritain is a kind of poet philosopher whose meanings are not readily translatable into the kind of language I understand. But there is a sense in reading him of something good and well- intended, of something right. His theory concerning the way the mind works in the making of art, his emphasis on creative intuition does make sense. But my guess is that in our over- interpreted world of discourse it cannot make single or final sense. It is one interpretation.
This small review is to do nothing more than say than anyone interested in philosophical connections between art and literature, anyone interested in the creative process might do well to turn to this work. It is not to say that I have comprehended the work, and know it very well.

There are almost no works addressing aesthetics across different art forms. See also Malraux.
