Siting Michelangelo: Spectatorship, Site Specificity & Soundscape

Más información sobre el libro

Michelangelo's artistry is explored through his innovative approach to site-specificity and the artistic process, emphasizing how his works, such as the Sistine Chapel frescoes and Medici Chapel sculptures, engage dynamically with their environments. Peter Gillgren's analysis highlights the importance of these artworks as interventions that transform their spaces rather than merely conforming to them. The book also examines Michelangelo's unfinished pieces and writings, suggesting a philosophy of ongoing creation. Enhanced by unique images and a fold-out spread, it offers a fresh perspective on art history.
