About this title

Synopsis

Examines Giuseppe Arcimboldi's human portraits made up of fruit, flowers and other objects and analyzes the parallels between his art and 20th century artwork

Reviews

Giuseppe Arcimboldo was a Milanese painter at the 16th-century imperial Hapsburg courts of Vienna and Prague. He is best known for his allegorical portrait heads composed of objects such as flowers and books. This volume, published in connection with an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi, illustrates composite portraits and other transformed heads from the Renaissance to contemporary art. The text consists of brief essays covering everything from 16th-century history to painting restoration to catastrophe theory, and ranging in tone from straightforward to idiosyncratic. The illustrations will appeal to a wide audience, but not all of the essays will be comprehensible to all readers. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.L.S., Cincinnati
