Description: Eye and Mind : Collected Essays in Anglo-Saxon and Early Medieval Art, Hardcover by Deshman, Robert; Cohen, Adam S. (EDT), ISBN 1580441211, ISBN-13 9781580441216, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Art historian Robert Deshman's complete oeuvre of thirteen brilliant essays are here edited and arranged by his friend and colleague, Cohen. The opening essay on Anglo-Saxon art is Deshman's manifesto in which he states that symbolism in art must be proved in context and that sometimes marginalia really is nothing but fanciful decoration. This unwillingness to jump to conclusions permeates the rest of his work on specific works such as the Galba Psalter, Leofric Missal and Warmund Sacramentary. When he discusses imagery, he examines each part of the work in relation to contemporary images and trends in theology and politics. This book is a fine memorial to a noted scholar of early medieval art. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
