5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally an intellectual book tor the rest of us,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gothic: Transmutations of Horror in Late-Twentieth-Century Art (Hardcover)
this hardback 219-page book (numbered backwards) is a collector's item. It draws on the last 200 years from history, music, psychoanalysis, film, fashion, architecture, literature, all types of art to describe what "gothic" actually is. Discussions on the influence of industrialization, the Holocaust, the millenium, and Freud are included. I am a profesional/academic who is now much better able to articulate why I am drawn to his thing called gothic and to define what it is. This 9-chapter book with color and B & W photos and appendicies would be an appropriate text for a college course in art, popular culture, etc. Gothic is more than a disturbed adolescent dressed in black.
