Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. xxi, 312 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First American Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "A brilliant new comprehensive critical analysis of Michelangelo's art, focusing on his depiction of the human body. Michelangelo's art is exhilarating, but also bewildering: What is the source of its power? In this imaginative and detailed study, the art critic James Hall explores some of the major puzzles of Michelangelo's work - his stern Madonnas and their lack of maternal responsiveness; his concern with colossal scale and size; the way that anatomical dissections affected his attitude toward the human body; and the placing of solitary, heroic figures against backgrounds of chaotic, troubling crowds. Hall arrives at a more precise, nuanced appreciation of the body language of Michelangelo's figures, and offers new explanations of many sculptures, paintings, and drawings, including David, the narratives of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and the monumental figures of his middle and late period. Hall dispels both the idea of Michelangelo as an artist-superman and as brilliant but unbalanced, obsessed with the male nude. Instead he redefines him as the first artist to put the body center stage, making it the focal point of his quest for psychological and spiritual meaning. Lively and thought-provoking, Michelangelo and the Reinvention of the Human Body is a bold critique that will reshape the way we see this iconic artist's work, throwing a vividly revealing light on the originality and power of his genius. / James Hall writes and lectures widely on the history of art. He is the author of The World as Sculpture." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Gut. XXI, 312 p. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag weist leichte Gebrauchsspuren auf, sonst sehr sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / only the dust jacket shows slight signs of usage, otherwise very clean and without markings. - MICHELANGELO'S art is exhilarating but also bewildering: What is the source of its incomparable power? In this bold and absorbing study, the art critic James Hall explores some of the major puzzles of Michelangelo's work his stern Madonnas and their lack of maternal feeling; his concern with colossal scale and size; his passion for anatomical dissection; and the meaning of the drawings he made for his young love Tommaso de' Cavalieri. Hall arrives at a precise, nuanced appreciation of the body language of Michelangelo's figures and offers new explanations of his most familiar sculptures, paintings, and drawings, including David, the narratives of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and his haunting late images of the dead Christ. Hall reassesses the popular idea of Michelangelo as an artist-superman, brilliant but unbalanced, obsessed with the male nude. He sees him instead as the first artist to put the unadorned human body at center stage, making it the focal point of his quest for psychological and spiritual meaning. Vivid and thoughtprovoking, Michelangelo and the Reinvention of the Human Body is a compelling critique that will reshape the way we see this iconic artist's work, throwing a revealing light on the originality and power of his genius. / Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction 1.
