Synopsis

Arnold Hauser sees Mannerism―the expressionistic, anti-natural, anti-classical style prevalent in the sixteenth century―as a revolution in the history of art; a revolution with major repercussions for modern art. The noted Viennese culture critic here, as in The Social History of Art and The Philosophy of Art History, looks at developments in art in the context of social, economic, and intellectual history. His analysis of specific works of art is illustrated with 322 reproductions.
