Very few artists can claim such lasting and worldwide fame and importance as Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). The nickname il divino ("the divine one") has been applied to him since the 1530s right through to today: his achievements as a sculptor, painter, and architect remain unparalleled and his creations are among the best-known artworks in the world. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition is devoted to the artist's graphic work, a testimony to his masterly command of line, form, and detail, from architectural studies to anatomically perfect figures. The book brings together some of the artist's finest drawings from museums and collections around the world as well as some of his own notes and revisions, offering stunning proximity not only to the ambition and scope of Michelangelo's practice but also his working process. A chapter with a compilation of newly attributed and reattributed drawings provides further insights into Michelangelo's varied graphic oeuvre and the ongoing exploration of his genius. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
Rethinking the importance of Sigmund Freud's landmark book "The
Interpretation of Dreams" a century after its publication in 1900,
this work brings together psychoanalysts, philosophers, cultural
theorists, film and visual theorists, and literary critics from
several continents in a compilation of the best clinical and
theoretical work being done in psychoanalysis today. It is unique
in convening both theory and practice in productive dialogue,
reflecting on the encounter between psychoanalysis and the
tradition of hermeneutics. Collectively the essays argue that
Freud's legacy has shaped the way we think about not only
psychology and the nature of the self but also our understanding of
politics, culture, and even thought itself.
