Krátky popis
A stimulating narrative and reference resource that guides the
reader through the most significant symbols from worldwide art
history. The Hidden Language of Symbols covers a wide-ranging
selection of visual culture under one unified theme: symbols. Often
not immediately apparent, our day-to-day lives abound with symbols
of various kinds from national emblems to emojis, allegories to
logos, all of which exert a strong hold in the image-saturated,
globalized world of the 21st century and have a fascinating
story.Organized across four all-encompassing themes - power, faith,
hope and uncertainty - this stimulating illustrated account of
forty-eight key symbols from global art history is aimed at
gallery-goers, armchair art sleuths or anyone who wants to
understand the history of their visual environment from an unusual
and creative angle. Drawing on examples from the imaginary,
natural, physical and religious worlds, from dragons to eagles,
butterflies to labyrinths and rainbows to wheels, author and art
historian Matthew Wilson discusses the different types of symbols
from their creation, their development and why they evolved, to the
various ways they have been interpreted. He also explains in what
way symbols are markers of identity that have the power to unite
and divide societies and looks at how they have shaped the world
beyond the gallery, revealing their impact on the appearance of our
cities, the language of advertising and blockbuster films and even
the design of corporate logos.
