London: Reaktion Books, 1997. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 8vo. Soft cover. 264 p.p. With 110 illustrations, 15 in colour. Covers are lightly bumped and crease at corners, creases at joints and spine, else fine. In this book, Victor I. Stoichita untangles the history of one of the most enduring technical and symbolic challenges to confront Western artists - the depiction and meanings of shadows. Stoichita's compelling account draws on texts by Renaissance artist-authors like Vasari and Cennini, on folk tales, fairy tales and classical myths, works by Poussin, Picasso, Warhol, Beuys and other masters, and on Expressionist cinema, photography and child psychology.
