Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of art history and criticism, The Romantic Rebellion chronicles the great ideological battle between Romantic and Classical traditions in European art. Written with the authority and elegance for which Kenneth Clark — the celebrated art historian and broadcaster behind the iconic Civilisation series — was renowned, the book presents a sweeping survey of the tensions that defined Western art from the late eighteenth century onward. Clark argues that Romanticism was not merely a stylistic movement but a profound shift in human consciousness, tracing its arc through the careers of artists such as Géricault, Delacroix, Fuseli, and Turner. With characteristic wit and clarity, he illuminates how individual genius and emotional intensity collided with the rational discipline of the Classical ideal, forever reshaping the landscape of art.
