Bernard Berenson
Seeing and Knowing
Greenwich, CT: NY Graphic Society, 1953.
First printing.
An interesting polemic from a great authority on Renaissance art. (His reputation is now slightly tarnished; did he take those bribes?)
Berenson identifies the conventions of great art that are renewed from age to age and place to place.
When confronted by post-war art, however, he feels these conventions are no longer being observed and we are the poorer for it.
Slim hardcover, with jacket.
90 pages, with many illustrations.
