Art and Imago Essays on Art as a Species of Autobiography
Author: Seymour Howard

Professor Seymour Howard's publications over the last forty years have introduced many innovative approaches to research in the history of art and archaeology. The arrangement of these two dozen essays in seven topical groups suggests their growth, origins, and relationships. Most of the studies deal with well-known canons of art from uncanonic... more »al points of view, which reflect the author's work as a practicing artist as well as his interdisciplinary training as a humanistic scholar. These rigorous and wide-ranging studies explore historic makings and meanings of graphic imagery, whose fundamental importance for understanding and communication has lost nothing of its power during the ascendance of literacy. The title essay and preface are new, as are the additional annotation and commentary; the author's bibliography and an index have been supplied. Contents: Preface I. Introduction: Art and Imago. II. Classical Patterns: A Cultural Parallel in Baroque and Hellenistic Portraiture The Hero as Norm in Fourth Century Sculpture A Veristic Portrait of Late Hellenism: Notes on a Culminating Transformation in Hellenistic Sculpture.
