| Summary |
"Philip Rawson shows how time is a fundamental element in our perception of the arts, and proposes an integrated framework within which to explore and appreciate the subtleties and complexities of this essential key to the reading and understanding of meaning in art. This book is a work of ideas, not abstract theory or pure art history. It offers wide ranging insight into the aesthetics and philosophies of time across different artforms, cultures, and periods. Intended for both arts practitioners and anyone wishing to extend their understanding of the creative process and its underlying principles, the book reveals the interplay of art and time from technical execution and formal invention to the spiritual and intuitive. It opens up fresh possibilities for artists to develop their work in new directions, and for the visitor to engage with artworks, including architecture, drawing, sculpture, painting, and photography, in challenging and fulfilling new ways."--BOOK JACKET |
