Study Of This Important American Painter By One Of His Students.
Meyer Schapiro (1904-96), renowned for his critical essays on
nineteenth- and twentieth-century painting, also played a decisive
role as a young scholar in defining the style of art and
architecture known as Romanesque. And, appropriately, when he was
invited to deliver the prestigious Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at
Harvard, he chose Romanesque architectural sculpture as his topic.
These lectures, acclaimed for the verve and freshness with which
Schapiro delivered them, languished unpublished for decades. But
Linda Seidel, who knew Schapiro well and attended the 1967
lectures, has now expertly transcribed and edited them, presenting
them for the first time to an audience beyond the halls of Harvard.
In editing the lectures, Seidel closely followed the recordings of
the originals. Sentences are rendered as Schapiro spoke them,
affording readers a unique opportunity to experience the legendary
teacher as he rarely appears in print: forming his thoughts
spontaneously, interrupting himself to develop related ideas, and
responding to the audience's interests by introducing humorous
asides. Nonetheless, these lectures are carefully constructed,
demonstrating Schapiro's commitment to the originality and value of
artistic production and affirming his lifelong belief in artists'
engagement with their cultures. Amply illustrated with many key
works and augmented with Seidel's indispensable introduction, this
long-awaited volume will delight students and scholars of art
history, as well as anyone interested in seeing a new side of a
profoundly influential mind.
