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.
