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. Volume 1 Contents:
Preface. Review of Rudolf Wittkower, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The
