Krátky popis
What should you do at Christmas? In Edvard Munch's Christmas in the
Brothel, the artist depicts himself sleeping off the effects of
drink, but the Madame reads a book. What links Stalin and the
artist Rosso Fiorentino? What was Gauguin hinting at when he
painted a copy of Milton's Paradise Lost into a portrait of a
friend? How did a chance meeting on Unter den Linden make the young
owner of The Red Book famous? Was it true that no one ever saw
Picasso with a book in his hand? And why were the Cumberland girls
reading The Fashionable Lover in Romney's commissioned portrait?
Thousands of fine paintings include books in their subject matter.
This companionable survey first asks `what is a book?', it explores
the symbiotic relationship between the development of books and the
emergence of our modern idea of the role of the artist, it parades
and interprets the work of many of the greatest artists of the last
five hundred years, and it explains how and why books became the
single most ubiquitous feature of our cultural lives and, in large
measure, of our everyday existence.These paintings connect us with
centuries of lived experience: religious systems, symbols of all
kinds, education, changing patterns of transport, gender roles,
social status, romance, the imagination of children, literary life,
sex, friendship, civilized bathing, professional competence,
scientific discovery, aids to rest, aids to reflection, danger...
books tell us about ourselves, and have earned their place in life
- and art - through the ages.
