Realisation - From Seeing to Understanding by Julian Spalding
Our world view has changed from a flat earth under the dome of heaven to a planet spinning in the universe. We perceived the world as a body, like ours, then as a tree, a pyramid, an altar, and finally as a veil which became a window through which we peered only to discover ourselves on a sphere, a bubble which might burst at any moment. Our changing views are interpreted through iconic images of the remote and more recent past: the Venus of Willendorf, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Scream, Sydney Opera House, and the Guggenheim, Bilbao.
Praise for The Art of Wonder: 'It does for art what Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time did for science - a thoroughly good read' Washington Daily News 'Written with a beautiful lucidity - ' A.C. Grayling, The Art Newspaper
Julian Spalding was director, successively of Sheffield and Manchester Art Galleries, and latterly of the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow. He has written over a dozen books on art historical subjects and curated many exhibitions.
