Description
Albert and the Whale by Philip Hoare This book is a lyrical journey into the natural and unnatural world. Albrecht Dürer's art, created over five centuries ago, continues to captivate us with its power and seduction. Dürer's art was a revelation, showing us who we are while also foresaw our future. In Albert & the Whale, Philip Hoare sets out to discover why Dürer's art endures, tracing the fate of the star-crossed leviathan that the artist pursued. Along the way, he encounters medieval alchemists and modernist poets, eccentric emperors and queer soul rebels, ambassadorial whales and enigmatic pop artists. As Hoare swims from Europe to America and beyond, these prophetic artists and downed angels provoke questions about what is natural or unnatural, and whether art has the power to save us.
