About This Item
Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2011. Hardcover. VG/VG. Burnt orange boards with gilt spine lettering, tan illustrated dust jacket with white spine lettering, xvi, 366 pp, profusely illustrated throughout in bw and color. Michelangelo is best known for great artistic achievements, but overlooked is the sheets composed with his own words. Here we can read the artist's marginal notes to his masterpieces; workaday memos to assistants and pupils; poetry and letters; and personal expressions of ambition and despair. This book will examine this intriguing interplay of words and images, providing insight into his life and work as never before.--[book jacket].
