Krátky popis
Lebensztejn is one of France’s best - kept secrets. A world - class
art historian who has lectured and taught at major universities in
the United States, his work has remained almost entirely in French,
his American audience limited to a sma ll but dedicated group of
cognoscenti. First introducing the Manneken Pis ? the iconic little
boy whose stream of urine supplies water to this famous fountain
and is also the logo for a Belgian beer company ? the author takes
the reader through a semi - scatological maze of cultural history.
The earliest example is a fresco scene loc ated directly above
Cimabue’s Crucifixion from around 1280 at the Basilica of Saint
Francis of Assisi, in which Lebensztejn’s careful eye locates an
angel behind a pillar urinating through a hole in his garment. He
continues to navigate expertly through cu ltural twists and turns,
stopping to discuss Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film Teorema , for
example, and Marlene Dumas’s 1996 – 1997 homage to Rembrandt’s
pissing woman. At every moment, Lebensztejn’s prose is lively, his
thinking dynamic, and his subject matt er entertaining. In this
short and poignant cultural history, readers will not only find the
care for detail that has made Lebensztejn into one of the greatest
European art historians, but also the rebelliousness that makes him
one of the most interesting intellectuals of our time.
