Big Book, January 1, 1966
by Mario Salmi (Author)
This edition of 1966, heavier-paper version of this book is a must-own.
All levels of Michelangelo's genius are examined.
Portico floor plans that conducted light inversions, endless sculpting metaphors, even the animated nuances of his painting skills are enhanced:
in one corner David holds a blade high above Goliath's away turned head,
and in another, Judith holds aloft her General's head as she departs his quarters where his body sprawls dead.
The beheading act flows from one to the other. Intricate details of the back wall's revelation are magnified.
A massive volume, 11" x 14" (27,94x35,56 cm); 600 pages, including 32 color illustrations and 1040 grayscale illustrations covering the complete works of Michelangelo. Book is in good condition only without the dust jacket
