What is the nature of the creative machine that generates life in every work of art? This is the question The Aesthetikon attempts to answer. In forging a portrait of the machinery of aesthetics, author Walter Idlewild has drawn on the experiences of over four dozen painters, photographers, authors and musicians.

Now you are invited to participate in the refinement of the initial vision of The Aesthetikon. This limited vanguard edition contains some 45,000 words of analysis and four detailed tables which identify the components of the aesthetic engine for the dancer, actor, painter, photographer, novelist, musician, film maker and musician.

A few of these advance review copies are available for publishers, agents and related individuals in the publishing industry. Please send email to
