Produktinformationen zu „Melancholy Art “
Melancholy is not only about sadness, despair, and loss. As Renaissance artists and philosophers acknowledged long ago, it can engender a certain kind of creativity born from a deep awareness of the mutability of life and the inevitable cycle of birth and death. Drawing on psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the intellectual history of the history of art, The Melancholy Art explores the unique connections between melancholy and the art historian's craft. The Melancholy Art looks at how melancholy suffuses the work of some of the twentieth century's most powerful and poetic writers on the history of art, including Alois Riegl, Franz Wickhoff, Adrian Stokes, Michael Baxandall, Meyer Schapiro, and Jacques Derrida. A disarmingly personal meditation by one of our most distinguished art historians, this book explains why to write about art is to share in a kind of intertwined pleasure and loss that is the very essence of melancholy.

Rezension zu „Melancholy Art “
"In this unabashedly romantic book, Holly addresses the melancholy that she suggests always accompanies art historians in their research. Erudite and illuminating, The Melancholy Art contributes to a lively contemporary debate about the 'presence' of past arts in our lives and about the appropriate distance that scholars can or should try to attain in relation to it."--Whitney Davis, University of California, Berkeley
