Please, take a closer look at this book. If you cannot visit Florence or London, at least take a look. This is one of the most fascinating painters of all time. How modern does his work seem! How envious it should make modernists! This is painting just before academicalism-through the invention of perspective- took place. Hockney avant la lettre and he did not even know it. The book is so very well made and such a pleasure to look at. It simply makes one happy. Next, you will find yourself searching for the real thing- because that is even better. L.

"Bird Lives"
Not Charlie Parker this time! I'm thinking of the great Florentine frescoist Paulo Uccello (Paul Byrd). If you've spent time in Florence or Urbino, you will no doubt have a visual memory of Uccello's distinctive, almost eccentric painting. His best known works are equestrian battle scenes featuring a veritable forest of lances jabbing askew and akimbo. The subject of this extraordinary book is a single painting, "The Hunt in the Forest", which was Uccello's last major work, finished around 1470. Author Catherine Whistler analyzes the context of Uccello's work, his techniques of painting, and especially the "semiotics" of such a mysterious image. This edition is frightfully expensive, but 'amazon' is promising a new edition at a fine price, which one can pre-order.

Uccello (1397-1475) was something of an anomaly. He studied with Ghiberti and became a close friend of Donatello, yet in most ways he remained extremely conservative in manner, not at all interested in the humanist "realism" of his contemporaries. His treatment of human figures is consistently more medieval than "Renaissance", a Late Gothic painter to the end, devoted to brightness, to color and pageantry. However, he was also a mathematician of some genius, and obsessed with "perspective", with the representation of depth on a flat surface. In that way, he was extremely influential on later artists. His 'vision' was obviously dominant on the younger Piero della Francesca, but his handling of perspective and perhaps even his Gothic hermeticism strongly attracted both Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer.

Description

Paolo Uccello, Domenico Veneziano and Andrea del Castagno, "the first champions of the new order", lived in one of the richest and most complex centuries in the history of the Italian civilization. The Quattrocento was a period of extraordinary importance in the history of the civilization of Florence. Having survived the terrible Black Death of 1348, in the 15th century Florence experienced a new social and political reality that fostered rapid progress. The tangible evidence of the beginning of this new period of peace and economic prosperity was the growing number of works of art commissioned by public organizations. This book outlines some of the features that are common to these three artists making them representatives of the spirit and the art of the Renaissance. It observes the parallel development of their careers and helps us to understand the personality of each artist.
