Description
Forms of Enchantment: Writings on Art and Artists by Marina Warner This anthology brings together Marina Warner's most compelling writing on art, exploring its social, political, and aesthetic contexts. Through vivid descriptions of the visual experience of diverse artists' work, Warner delves into the stories and symbols that underlie their creations. From the connection with animals in Louise Bourgeois's work to the Catholicism of Damien Hirst's installations, Warner's approach draws on anthropology and mythology rather than connoisseurship. The book is accompanied by illustrations of the works being described, creating a reading experience that parallels the pleasure of looking at art. Suitable for students of art history, those interested in philosophy, feminism, and the humanities, this collection will appeal to anyone seeking to understand the inner lives of artists and their work.
