The themes of this collection include historicism, commemoration, style and meaning, and the artist's intelligence. Lavin covers various aspects of the life and art of Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini Bernini's, in these three volumes. The studies have been updated and are accompanied by a comprehensive index.
As early as the 1950s, Professor Irving Lavin was -recognized as a major voice in American art history. His sustained production of seminal scholarly contributions has left its mark on an astonishingly wide range of subjects and fields. Bringing these far-reaching publications together will not only provide a valuable resource to scholars and students, but will also underscore fundamental themes in the history of art - historicism, the art of commemoration, the relationship between style and meaning, the -intelligence of artists - themes that define the role of the visual arts in human communication. Irving Lavin is best known for his array of fundamental publications on the Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680). These include new discoveries and studies on the master''s prodigious childhood, his architecture and portraiture, his invention of caricature, his depictions of religious faith and political leadership, his work in the theatre, his attitude toward death and the role of the artist in the creation of a modern sense of social responsibility. All of Professor Lavin''s papers on Bernini are here brought together in three volumes. The studies have been reset and in many cases updated, and there is a comprehensive index.
