Description
Forms of Enchantment: Writings on Art and Artists by Marina Warner explores the magical social function of art and aesthetics. Drawing on anthropology and mythology, Marina Warner investigates how artists express interior states through their work, often reaching beyond the visible to convey disturbing or uncanny material. Warner's essays capture the visual experience of various artists' works, with a notable focus on the inner lives of women. The collection features vivid explorations of metamorphosis in art, including Louise Bourgeois' use of animals and Damien Hirst's Catholicism. With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout, Warner unites the imagination of artist, writer, and reader. This anthology showcases Marina Warner's unique approach to art-writing, one that shares the dynamism and passions of the objects of her inquiry.
