商品簡介
Arguing that architecture, paintings, and graphic arts have often informed one another, establishing patterns of creation and reception, Anderson (history of art, Yale U.) presents 14 papers that explore cases of this process as it traveled from architecture to the pictorial arts or vice versa. They include questions of perspective, allegory, site specificity, artistic practice, urban or utopian planning, treaties and manifestoes (or other theoretical writings), and critical reception to these processes. The papers take examples from all over the world, architectural examples including Roman interiors, the Great Mosque of Damascus, Maya architecture, Himalayan stupa architecture, Italian palaces, the Temple in Jerusalem, and the Amsterdam Town Hall.
