Synopsis
1ST U.S. EDITION, Hardcover, by Jean Starobinski, translated by Barbara Bray. B/w illustrations. A study of the connections between art and revolution, comparing the style of the French Revolution as a political event to style in the contemporaneous visual arts. "Moving with intellectual grace and extraordinary erudition over painting, architecture, music, philosophy, and political history, Starobinski enables us to see the art of David, Fuseli, Goya, Mozart, Boullee, and a host of others in new perspective, not as a reflection but as integral part of the events that changed the course of modern history."
