A study on BUGATTI The Quality of Work & the Quality of Art

Work and Art seeks to illuminate the quality of Ettore Bugatti's achievment, a process that would probably not be adequate without reference to the art of other members of his family. In working out this assessment, the book sometimes proceeds by way of figurations that are equally distanced from special pleading and a too simple or literal truth. For only in the art itself can one be sure to find a completely systematic and permanent statement.
