Krátky popis
A selection of texts on art and artists by the Belgian French
novelist and essayist Marguerite YourcenarBest known for her
seminal novel Memoirs of Hadrian (1951), an imagined autobiography
of the Roman emperor, Yourcenar brings the same depth of inquiry
and inventive speculation to her lyric prose on art and artists in
this newest title in the ekphrasis series. In these five jewel-like
essays, Yourcenar meditates on the decay of time, the desire both
satiated and refused by art, and the imagery animating the lives,
works, and dreams of Michelangelo, Dürer, and Piranesi. And in an
intimate mediation on the historical novel, Yourcenar describes her
own encounters with how language reveals the past. Together these
exquisite essays explore that fundamental awe?perhaps even the
terror?at the heart of an encounter with beauty. An introduction by
John Knight sketches the life of this extraordinary writer and
situates Yourcenar’s unique criticism within her attempt to capture
the great struggle required to make an enduring work of art. Subtle
and learned, Yourcenar’s essays are like stepping stones into the
past and the shadowy business of artistic creation. Bringing back
into print Yourcenar’s seminal essay “The Dark Brain of Piranesi”
in the poet Richard Howard’s elegant English translation, conducted
in collaboration with the author, this volume also collects texts
from That Mighty Sculptor, Time (1983) into a particularly focused
volume.
