The Mind of Leonardo da Vinci

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Mind of Leonardo da Vinci

In this classic, engrossing text, a distinguished historian explores the mind and manifold interests of the greatest personality of the Renaissance. More than just a biography, the book presents a detailed investigation of Leonardo da Vinci's genius. Its colorful, evocative prose offers numerous demonstrations of the master's achievements, not only in sculpture and painting, but also in music, engineering, and even experimental aviation. A renowned authority on the works and personality of Leonardo, author Edward McCurdy translated many of the artist's writings. "In the thousands of pages of his manuscript he has left the mirror of his thought," McCurdy observes, "and there his mind may be seen at work, moving among the phenomena of nature and the inherited knowledge of antiquity, trying all things, expounding all things, proving all things." McCurdy begins by tracing the artist's travels, from his native Florence to Milan, Venice, Rome, and France. Part Two examines the manuscripts and their philosophical revelations, and the third section assesses the paintings and sculpture. First published in 1928, this book remains one of the best introductions to Leonardo and his extraordinary versatility.

Libro Salvador Dalí

As a one of the foremost painters of the 20th century, Dalí, like Picasso and Warhol, can boast of having overturned the art of the previous century and directed contemporary art toward its present incarnation. As irrational as he was surrealist, this genius diverted objects from their original meanings, plunging them into the acid of his constantly churning imagination. A megalomaniac and an artist who understood above all the force of marketing and publicity, Dalí disorientates the viewer in order to draw him into the artist’s world. On his canvases, images and colours crash together to ...

Perpetuas desahuciadas

Libro Perpetuas desahuciadas

La polémica interna del arte cubano se extiende, si somos rigurosos, como magma primigenio desde las primeras vanguardias, y desde la reinterpretación de las mismas a partir de 1959, en especial desde 1961 con la advertencia de terror que fueron las Palabras a los Intelectuales, convertidas en dogma y manual académico para los estudios universitarios, relativos al Arte, la Literatura y la Historia del Arte y ratificadas como leyes culturales, después, en el famoso Congreso de Educación y Cultura de 1971. En este punto cesa cualquier debate: se para, se evita y se pierde. Ahí, en esa...
