IT WAS AN OAK TREE THAT PROVIDED THE ink, from a boil-like pimple growing out of its bark.

Vie des formes

0.0 (0)

In this text, Focillon insists that art and its meanings are an inherently dynamic system and that the history of art is one of instabilities, fluctuations and discontinuities. Artworks are never static empirical entities or pure optical presences but rather the virtual traces of a ceaseless process of becoming.

The year 1000

Presents what life was like in the year 1000 for an Englishman.

Art d'Occident, le moyen âge, roman et gothique

0.0 (0)

The present work is more than a history of Western medieval art: it is an aesthetic exploration into the development of medieval style, particularly as it is expressed itself in architecture and architectural decoration. The illustrations which accompany the text are designed to provide a visual complement to the author's instructive analyses and stimulating ideas. -- From publisher's description.
