Piero della Francesca e l'astrazione

Paolo Graziani

La cosiddetta 'evoluzione' dell'arte, il percorso dal figurativo verso l'astrattismo e ad altre forme d'arte contemporanea, sono generalmente presentate come una sorta di 'evoluzionismo darwiniano', che avrebbe portato e porterebbe l'arte ad essere finalmente 'adulta', 'matura' e 'moderna'. Le riflessioni che propongo, intendono mettere a fuoco questa 'distorsione', ossia fare emergere come la supposta 'evoluzione' dell'arte, abbia non solo radici lontane, ma coincida principalmente con il formarsi lento e poi dilagante dell'abbandono della centralità della fede nell'arte e nel cuore dell'uomo.

"Fully revised and further enlarged, with more color illustrations and fresh topics, this is the fourth edition of an introduction to the painting, sculpture, architecture, and decorative arts of the Roman world. It covers the 1,300 years from the Etruscan forerunners of the Romans to the introduction of Christianity under the Emperor Constantine the Great. The new edition introduces such subjects as rescue excavations, art for private patrons, and erotic art. New features include a timeline of the major periods, events, and artworks; more family trees of the imperial dynasties; and a table of Roman gods and goddesses and their Greek equivalents."--BOOK JACKET.
