Description
Albrecht Dürer's Material World offers a fresh perspective on the renowned artist and printmaker. This book accompanies the first major exhibition of the Whitworth art gallery's outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century, providing new insights into his graphic art. Dürer's works reveal an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design, and trade that filled his art. The book examines artworks and artefacts that expose understudied aspects of his practice, including his attention to everyday domestic objects, local economies, craft microarchitectures, and cultures of natural and philosophical inquiry. By exploring these often-overlooked themes, the book provides a nuanced understanding of Dürer's artistic vision and its significance in the context of 16th-century Germany.
