The Arts Today (1935) is a book edited by Geoffrey Grigson.
- "They are [artworks] in which an organic-geometric tension is very well obtained. Many of their forms are almost certainly ‘degraded’, as orthodox anthropologists would say, from organic forms which came nearer to nature. Some forms are further from any originals, and those have been described as ‘biomorphic’, which is no bad term for the paintings of Miro, Hélion, Erni and others, to distinguish them from the modern geometric abstractions and from rigid Surrealism."
It features eight essays
- W H Auden writes on Psychology and Art
- Louis MacNeice on Poetry.
- Illustrated b/w. Salmon cloth with black print
