A leading art historian's plea for a more engaged reading of
Italian Renaissance art Only Connect constructs a history of
Renaissance paintings and sculptures that are by design completed
outside themselves by the spectator, that draw the spectator into
their narrative plot or aesthetic functioning, and that reposition
the spectator imaginatively or in time and space. John Shearman's
concern is mostly with anterior relationships with the viewer-that
is, relationships conceived and constructed as part of a work's
design, making, and positioning. He proposes unconventional ways in
which works of art may be distinguished one from another, and in
which spectators may be distinguished as well, and enlarges the
accepted field of artistic invention. Only Connect challenges us to
recognize the presuppositions of Renaissance artists about their
viewers, shining a light on the process of discovery by some of the
most inventive and visually intellectual artists of the period.
