Abstract:

This article deals with the art of a prominent English architect and architectural theorist - William Richard Lethaby. His theoretical outlook on architecture has been considered herein. His fundamental outlook – the book ‘Architecture, Mysticism, and Myth’ - has been analyzed. His innovative outlook, as well as the concept development regarding study of art in the 20^th century described in this book, has been highlighted. The Lethaby’s relations with English movements ‘Art and Craft’ and ‘Aesthetic Movement’ have been indicated.
