A common interest in philosophy is to contrast one art with anotherwhile at the same time establishing a common metaphysical principlewhich links them altogether. This book sets forth to do these twothings by considering the role of time and of space in the experienceof each art: and reaching the conclusion that there is a unique formof combination between time and space that is particular to each art.The arts examined in the book are music, poetry, "animation", theater, literature (film), (photography) painting, sculpture and architecture.The effects of music lie mostly in time and not in space. In theorder just listed, space has progressively a greater role to play withregard to time, reaching a maximum at architecture, and with asurprise appearance of the everyday reality at the mid point on thisspectrum of the arts - where time and space are locked together in anequal, unbreakable grip.The book is written in non technical language, except for analternate version of chapter 1.Joe Bloom is a life-long concert pianist, composer, and teacher.
