"Was machst du, wenn dein Ehemann den besten Job im Land bekommt, in einem Bereich, den er dir gestohlen hat? Nun, genau das ist mir passiert, und darum geht es in diesem Buch." So beginnen Marilyn Aronberg Lavins Memoiren über ihre siebzig Jahre währende Beziehung mit Irving Lavin, einem der angesehensten Kunsthistoriker Amerikas. Sie beschreibt die parallel verlaufenden Karrieren – er als Professor am Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; sie als Autorität zur italienischen Renaissance, Ikonografie und Sammlungsgeschichte. Indem sie Überlegungen über die gemeinsame Leidenschaft für Kunstgeschichte anstellt, zeichnet Lavin das Porträt einer Partnerschaft und zeigt den Leser*innen gleichzeitig, wie die Welt der Kunstgeschichte sowohl wissenschaftlichem Anspruch genügen, als auch emotional fordernd sein kann. Geistesgeschichte Memoiren Kunst und Architektur der Renaissance

"What do you do when your husband gets the best job in the country in a field that he stole from you? Well, that’s what happened to me, and that’s what this book is about." So begins Marilyn Aronberg Lavin’s spirited memoir of her seventy-year relationship with Irving Lavin, one of America''s most eminent art historians. Her narrative traces their parallel careers as they both achieve remarkable success—he as a distinguished professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; she as an award-winning authority on Italian Renaissance painting, iconography, and collectionism. Reflecting on their shared passion for the history of art, Marilyn has crafted a portrait of a partnership, while showing readers how the world of art history can be both intellectually rigorous and emotionally rewarding.
