Nigel Rapport

Distortion and Love (eBook, PDF)

An Anthropological Reading of the Art and Life of Stanley Spencer

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this ground-breaking book, a theory of 'distortion' - of the way in which the processes of human life are subject to interference, diversion and transformation - is developed by way of the art of one of Britain's greatest twentieth-century painters and that art's public reception. An illustration, through Stanley Spencer's story, of significant aspects of a human condition, this book will appeal across disciplines, to art historians and students of Spencer's work, as well as to scholars of anthropology with interests in creativity, perception and interpretation.
