In Art: A New History, Paul Johnson turns his great gifts as a world historian to a subject that has enthralled him all his life: the history of art. This narrative account, from the earliest cave paintings up to the present day, has new things to say about almost every period of art. Taking account of changing scholarship and shifting opinions, he draws our attention to a number of neglected artists and styles, especially in Scandinavia, Germany, Russia and the Americas. Paul Johnson puts the creative originality of the individual at the heart of his story. He pays particular attention to key periods: the emergence of the artistic personality in the Renaissance, the new realism of the early seventeenth century, the discovery of landscape painting as a separate art form, and the rise of ideological art. He notes the division of fashion art and fine art at the beginning of the twentieth century, and how it has now widened. Though challenging and controversial, Paul Johnson is not primarily a revisionist. He is a passionate lover of beauty who finds creativity in many places.… (altro)
"Art, a new history " is een plezier om te lezen. Duidelijk blijkt dat Johnson in de eerste plaats schrijver is. Johnson weet als historicus ook veel te vertellen over de relatie tussen kunst en geschiedenis. Jammer is dat hij veel kunstwerken bespreekt zonder een illustratie bij te geven. Als je maar een boek over kunstgeschiedenis wilt lezen dan ben je beter af met het boek van Honour en Fleming met veel meer illustraties. Niettemin als extra boek warm aanbevolen. ( )
