Book 12 - Michael Baxandall "Painting and Experience in 15th Century Italy"

Michael Baxandall "Painting and Experience in 15th Century Italy" (Oxford)






Now, this takes me back to the days back in the seventies I did an Open University Art course. The book came out in 1974 in paperback and was part of selected reads for the second level course I studied on art history which I combined with one on the history of the Renaissance.

In essence, this a fairly quick read - short and sweet. His concept of the "period eye" is the stand-out feature of his argument, suggesting the links between everyday social and visual practices and high art. One only wishes the book was longer, as he passes over some tantalizing concepts and analyses of specific artworks with some haste. However, the course work I did and using other sources, filled out most of the gaps. A good read if you love art.

To Sleep, Perchance To Dream

How many pillows do you sleep with?

Do you sleep with any stuffed animals?

Do you have to have the TV or radio on to go to sleep?
