Publisher Synopsis
Selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2013 in the Fine Arts Category. -- Outstanding Academic Title Choice "Bernini: Sculpting in Clay ... by Ian Wardropper and others is the catalog for a magnificent exhibition ... focusing on the Italian master's use of hand-formed terracotta models as first drafts or sketches for his supremely refined marble sculptures of the human form, including the famed angels of the Ponte Sant' Angelo in Rome. These works, which still bear traces of Bernini's fingerprints in the clay, document the artist's acute powers of observation and profound expressive gifts, offering a peek into the creative process of a truly towering figure in Baroque art."-Jonathan Lopez, Wall Street Journal -- Jonathan Lopez Wall Street Journal "As a scholarly study of artistic process, the book is thorough and well organized, including equal shares of history and biography, art criticism, reception studies, historiography, and curatorial practice. As a catalogue of Bernini's models, the book is equally as exhaustive, with enlarged photographs of key details, such as "striations from dry brush smoothing" or finger marks that indicate Bernini's fast and free style."-Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly Read more...
