Krátky popis
A visual journey from the minute to the infinite, exploring the
relationships and harmonies between all parts of the universe and
inspiring personal contemplation regarding our own place within it.
In The Cosmic Dance, renowned image alchemist Stephen Ellcock
presents a pan-global collection of remarkable, arresting and
surprising images drawn from the entire history of art to explore
the ancient belief that the cosmos is reflected in all living
things. Organized thematically, the visual journey begins with the
microscopic, the particulate and the elemental, then explores the
human body as a cosmos in miniature, the beauty of divine
proportions and our search for spiritual enlightenment, before
finally revelling in the colossal, the celestial and the
infinite.An eloquent introduction provides an overview of the
central themes and expert commentaries introduce each section.
Detailed panels provide bitesize information on key concepts and
key thinkers - from the four elements to Cosmic Man and from the
moebius strip to the Mandelbrot set - while thought-provoking
quotations from philosophers, writers, artists and scientists
interspersed throughout the artworks prompt a closer, more personal
engagement with the images. This stunning treasury of artworks
provides the perfect guide to a deeper contemplation of the world
around us, allowing readers, in the words of William Blake, to 'see
a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold
infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour'.
