Albrecht Durer by David Ekserdjian

Albrecht Durer by David Ekserdjian

An original analysis of the autobiographical elements in Albrecht Durers art.

'Ekserdjian’s lively account of the great Renaissance artist from Nuremberg, Albrecht Dürer, shows how his art and autobiography continue to resound across the centuriesDürer’s fascination with the world around him, whether an elaborate costume study, the brilliant blue of a bird’s wing or the distorted angle of a man’s face, is transferred into narrative prints that have inspired artists from Velázquez to Lucian Freud and remain mesmerizing today.' – Giulia Bartrum, Former Curator of German Prints and Drawings at the British Museum; 'David Ekserdjian’s book on the life and work of Albrecht Dürer portrays the artist vividly and sets him in his historical, artistic and intellectual context. Ekserdjian builds on the fundaments of sources in a comprehensive sense: Dürer's works in prints, drawings and paintings and, equally, his autobiographical and art-theoretical writings. Elegantly written, this book is pure pleasure to read.' – Christof Metzger, Chief Curator at the Albertina Museum, Vienna
