Art and Imago
Essays on Art as a Species of Autobiography
by Seymour Howard
Seymour Howard’s publications revolutionised art and archaeology research. This collection of his essays offer fresh perspectives on well-known art, drawing from the author’s artistic and interdisciplinary background. This edition includes a new title essay, preface, annotations, commentary, bibliography, and index.
Professor Seymour Howard’s publications over the last forty years have introduced many innovative approaches to research in the history of art and archaeology. The arrangement of these two dozen essays in seven topical groups suggests their growth, origins, and relationships. Most of the studies deal with well-known canons of art from uncanonical points of view, which reflect the author’s work as a practicing artist as well as his interdisciplinary training as a humanistic scholar. These rigorous and wide-ranging studies explore historic makings and meanings of graphic imagery, whose fundamental importance for understanding and communication has lost nothing of its power during the ascendance of literacy. The title essay and preface are new, as are the additional annotation and commentary; the author’s bibliography and an index have been supplied.
