1 comments about Bernini and the Idealization of Death: The Blessed Ludovica Albertoni and the Altieri Chapel.
- As the only monograph-length study of Bernini's statue of Beata Ludovica Albertoni, this book fills an important gap in Bernini art historiography. It has for this reason also attracted a certain amount of critical attention. While valuable in all kinds of ways (it reproduces sections of several primary sources dealing with the Beata, her life and the attempt to have her canonised), this is a deeply flawed book that suffers because of its reluctance from a unified vision of the statue's symbolism; Perlove reads Bernini's conception as multivalent in a way that most commentators on the 'bel composto' generally do not, and the result is an unsynthesised mish-mash of different points of view. Readers wanting something more coherent is terms of a reading are better off with Careri's 'Bernini: flights of love, the art of devotion'. The photography in this book is of a shocking quality. Most tourists to this sculpture take better pictures of this sculpture than are in this book.

1 comments about Amish Drawings Of Florence Starr Taylor.
- Florence Starr Taylor has a special gift. Her drawings seem to have movement! One of my favorite drawings is "In Mother's Step"..I can feel the slight tug on the little girl's arm, and a swish of their skirts. In "Leaving the Graveyard"..I hear the slow muffled clip clop of the horse's hooves on the dirt road..The drawing before that "Saying Goodbye" made my eyes tear..many of us have been there...you can feel the quiet, somber mood..
Taylor captures the true spirit of these hardworking, simple people.
A meditative book to be used when looking for some strength.
