Principles of art history; the problem of the development of style in later art by Heinrich Wölfflin ( Book )
207 editions published between 1915 and 2009 in 19 languages and held by 2,253 libraries worldwide
What are the fundamental differences between classic and baroque art? Is there a pattern underlying the seemingly helterskelter development of art in different cultures and at different times? What causes out entirely different reactions to precisely the same painting or to the same painter? In this [text, the author] provides an objective set of criteria to answer these and related questions. Examining such factors as style, quality, and mode of representation in terms of five opposed dynamisms (the linear vs. the painterly, plane vs. recession, closed vs. open form, multiplicity vs.unity, and clearness vs. unclearness), the author analyzes the work of 64 major artists, delving even into sculpture and architecture.-Back cover.
