Credits: Produced by Jana Srna
Summary: "Amo" by Henry van de Velde is a philosophical treatise exploring the connection between love, belief, and aesthetics, written during the early 20th century. This book delves into the nature of various art forms, particularly architecture and design, discussing their roles in society and the importance of genuine beauty as understood through love and belief. Van de Velde articulates a vision for a revival of artistic integrity and purpose in the face of a declining aesthetic environment. In "Amo," the author expresses a profound admiration for the beauty found in nature, human bodies, and crafted objects, positioning love as a driving force behind genuine artistic expression. The text critiques contemporary art tendencies that lack sincerity and belief, urging for a return to a design philosophy based on the inherent qualities and purposes of materials. Through poetic language and impassioned arguments, Van de Velde invites readers to recognize beauty as a source of emotion and connection, asserting that true artistry must stem from a loving relationship with the creations and the world around us.
