Albrecht D?er: Art and Autobiography - Hardcover
by David Ekserdjian (Author)
An exploration of the life and works of German artist Albrecht D?er and his self-obsession.
The Italian Renaissance birthed the modern sense of self, and no artist from the period compares with Albrecht D?er (1471-1528) in terms of the almost obsessive interest he displayed in his own life. D?er's works are filled with personal details from his day-to-day, his dreams, and his escapades. In this brief biography, David Ekserdjian explores D?er's life and times--his studies, travels, and influences--as well as his paintings, drawings, and prints. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Renaissance or Northern European art.David Ekserdjian is professor of the history of art and film at the University of Leicester and keeper of the university art collection. His books include The Italian Renaissance Altarpiece: Between Icon and Narrative.
