This title was first published in 2002. Adrian Stokes was a British
painter and writer whose books on art have been allowed to go out
of print despite their impact on Modernist culture. This new
edition of The Quattro Cento and The Stones of Rimini presents the
original texts of 1932 and 1934 and furnishes them with
introductions by David Carrier and Stephen Kite that will help
readers grasp the structure and significance of what have become
Stokes' most widely cited and influential books. Written as parts
of an incomplete trilogy, The Quattro Cento and The Stones of
Rimini mark a crossroad in the transition from late Victorian to
Modernist conceptions of art, especially sculpture and
architecture. Stokes continued, even expanded, John Ruskin's and
Walter Pater's belief that art is essential to the individual's
proper psychological development but wove their teaching into a new
aesthetic shaped by his experience of psychoanalysis and recent
innovations in literature, dance, and the visual arts. This volume
will be of interest to those concerned with art criticism,
aesthetics and psychoanalysis, as well as the art and architecture
of the Renaissance and Modern periods. Supported by the Henry Moore
Foundation in memory of David Sylvester.
