The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture: New Directions in Classics, cartea 02

Autor Elizabeth Prettejohn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iul 2012
Modernism in the visual arts has been defined as a liberation from the classical inheritance. But according to one standard narrative, the modern discipline of art history began only with a study of ancient art and sculpture. This book states that the modern study of ancient art and the making of modern art are inextricably intertwined.

Recenzii

Never less than persuasive, in the subtlety and accessibility of its visual or verbal analyses, the book includes revelatory ideas on almost every page.' Jason Edwards, Reader in the History of Art, University of York 'This is a wonderful book. It commands, with enviable ease, both ancient and modern data, and moves seamlessly and to excellent effect between evocative description and theoretical criticism. This is a book which any graduate student starting to work on ancient art will in future have to read. It is fundamentally enlightening about the way in which sculpture has been studied - and about what it is to study sculpture. It is certainly a book that the exhibition-going public and the serious visitor to the British Museum (or indeed to English country houses with classical sculpture collections) ought to read as well. It manages to be repeatedly eye-opening.' Robin Osborne, Professor of Ancient History, University of Cambridge
