Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:The classical human body is perhaps the single most important & wide-ranging legacy bequeathed to the modern world by antiquity. Not only has it directed the evolutionary trajectory of western art; it has also saturated almost every aspect of the contemporary subconscious, as ideal, anti-type & point of departure. This short book represents the first concerted attempt to grapple with the complex nature of that legacy. Writing in an attractively accessible style, & supplementing his text with a rich array of illustrations, Michael Squire guides readers thru a multifaceted range of modern interactions with ancient visual representations of the body. From Byzantine diptych to Hollywood cinema screen, from Aphrodite to the Venus de Milo, The Art of the Body demonstrates the wide range of cultural ideas & anxieties that were explored by the figure of the body both in antiquity & in the various cultural landscapes that came afterwards. In exploring the connections between ancient & modern in the broadest sense, the book offers an ideal starting point & a stimulating textbook for undergraduate students of ancient history, classical archeology & classical civilization.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
