This review is from: Romanticism (Icon Editions) (Paperback)
The idea of Romanticism in art is a dificult task. To define and understand the movement that started at the end of the XVIIIth century needs a wide knowledge not only of art, but also of history, politics and, in fact the whole time when Romantic artists lived.
This is probably one of the best essays written about the subject. Honour makes a great effort to display the variety of Romantic art, and artists, because their individuality was strong and powerful. But also explaining the great rupture with what art has been before it. The constant fight between academies and those new free-lancer is explained here accurately.Making this book not only interesting for those who are interested in art alone, but to anyone who would like a good written book. |
