With Mysteries of the Rectangle noted author Siri Hustvedt gives us nine essays on the significance of particular words of art, replete with original insights and a few startling discoveries. Winterhouse ISBN 1568986181 9781568986180 [CA]
New York: Princeton Architectural Press, Date: 2006. xxi, 179 pages, illustrations (some colour); 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. "From Siri Hustvedt, author of the bestselling novel What I Loved, comes this inspired collection of essays on painting. Here, Hustvedt concentrates her narrative gifts on the works of such masters as Francisco de Goya, Jan Vermeer, Jean-Baptiste-Sim on Chardin, Gerhard Richter, and Joan Mitchell. Hustvedt is concerned with the very act of looking and the limitless rewards to be gleaned from sustained, careful attention. Unlike film and books, which progress over time, "Painting is there all at once," she writes, it is only with patience and repeated viewings that elusive meanings present themselves. Through her own personal experiences, Hustvedt is able to reveal things until now hidden in plain sight: an egg like detail in Vermeer's Woman with a Pearl Necklace and the many hidden self-portraits in Goya's series of drawings, Los Caprichos, as well as in his infamous painting The Third of May. Most importantly, these essays exhibit the passion, thrill, and sheer pleasure of bewilderment a work of art can produce if you simply take the time to look. / Siri Hustvedt is a novelist whose books include Enchantment of Lily Dahl and What I Loved. She makes her home in Brooklyn, New York." - Publisher. CONTENTS: The pleasures of bewilderment; Vermeer's annunciation; The man with the red crayon; Ghosts at the table; Narratives in t ...
