1.
 for the University of Texas-Austin (no date noted), Cramer (art history, Suffolk U., Massachusetts) describes how the concepts generally considered very different, if not actually opposites, were in fact closely related during the period he considers. He argues that abstraction was a route to the classical ideal, and that idealization idealization /ide·al·iza·tion/ (i-de?il-i-za´shun) a conscious or unconscious mental mechanism in which the individual overestimates an admired aspect or attribute of another person.  was a route to abstract art. The reproductions are in black and white. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.
