Klappentext zu „Temporalizing Space “
The Australian bushman's space and time are not those of a modern Westerner, nor are the space and time of Piero della Francesca. Both space and time are subject to a host of conditions governing them in a particular culture. There is a sense in which an earlier culture's intuitions of space and time are irrecoverable. Yet, like the ethnographic investigator, we try to enter into that space and that time. And then, beyond the investigator, we try to attain and appropriate the perception of the "native". In attending to Piero della Francesca we putatively assimilate to the version of space and even of time that he presents in each work, especially in his "True Cross" cycle. This book contains one long, detailed study of significations in Piero della Francesca's Arezzo cycle on the "True Cross" and other major paintings. A companion essay on the many uses of space by artists and dramatists includes material on Bernini and Veronese, as well as on Hamlet , the Oresteia , and film.

Pressezitat
"Albert Cook's 'Temporalizing Space: The Triumphant Strategies of Piero della Francesca' is, brilliantly, several things at once: a nuanced account of the spatial and intellectual complexities of Piero's fresco cycle on the True Cross, one of the Quattrocento's most intricate creations; a theoretical speculation about the signifying properties of visual art; and a meditation on the ontology of spatial viewing that ranges from Bernini's Saint Theresa to Duchamp's 'Etant donnés'. Anyone who has experienced the 'immersion' in art that Cook so richly elucidates will find the analyses and speculations in 'Temporalizing Space' enthralling from start to finish." (Edward Snow, Rice University)"...recommended for readers interested in aesthetics..." (J. Howett, Choice)
