Download or read book The Early D rer written by Daniel Hess and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature about Dürer fills library shelves. Does this mean everything has already been said about the artist? Far from it, according to the scholars at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and their international partners in the Early Dürer Project. This book deals with the core phenomena of Dürers early work, ranging from the artists biography and surroundings to the question of Dürers role as the archetype of the modern artist. New sociological approaches allow us to interpret Dürers ideal neighbourhood as a source of inspiration for the artists work, resituating Dürer in the artistic context of his time, at an exciting crossroad between the imitation of traditional painting and the self-conscious renewal of his profession. Photographs of Dürers early work, many of which are new and published here for the first time, complete the publication, which will establish a new basis for a modern understanding of Germanys most famous artist.
