Description
"The titles of many art works are descriptive, naming the persons or scenes depicted. But close your eyes and picture L.H.O.O.Q., Tomorrow Is Never, or The Unthinkable. Suddenly the world of art is a more mysterious place, full of titles that evoke only questions (No Walk Today - why not? The Discovery - of what?)." "Some of those questions can be answered by looking at the works themselves. Other answers require some background in history or religion, or a knowledge of the artist's life."
Description
"Open A Dictionary of Art Titles, and the world of art opens up for you. Noted name authority Adrian Room offers explanations of 3,000 titles from Abbey Under Oak Trees to Zygotic acceleration, biogenetic, desublimated libidinal model (enlarged x 1000), along with the artists' names, English translations where necessary, dates of creation, and present locations. An index and bibliography are also included."--Jacket.
