Each paragraph contains passages of deep critical observation and unexpected connections. The finest book on art history that I've read. ( ) I've wanted to read this book for years and years. It is a lovely, coherent history of the artistic nude. It speaks of the meanings of certain poses, how they were used and transformed through the ages. Clark uses lots of photographs to give visual references. A wonderful introduction to the study of art. While it's written in a very accessible style, this book is aimed at art historians. If statements like "The ideal form of Apollo scarcely appears again before that false dawn of the Renaissance, Nicola Pisano's pulpit in the Baptistery of Pisa" don't leave you scratching your head about who Pisano was and when that false dawn happened (the book doesn't give even a hint), then you might really get a lot out of it. Amateurs can still enjoy it, but might feel--as I did--that they're missing out on many of Clark's finer points. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From the art of the Greeks to that of Renoir and Moore, this work surveys the ever-changing fashions in what has constituted the ideal nude as a basis of humanist form. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
