Storia dell'arte italiana #1
Storia dell'arte italiana, Vol.1: Dall'antichitá a Duccio
"Una storia dell’arte è possibile e legittima solo a condizione che spieghi il fenomeno artistico nella sua globalità; non si può fare una storia dell’arte se non si ammette l’esistenza di un nesso tra tutti i fenomeni artistici, quale che sia la dimensione spazio-temporale in cui sono stati prodotti."
Dalle origini al Futurismo, il viaggio della Storia dell’arte italiana si snoda, nel corso dei tre volumi, alla scoperta dei movimenti, degli artisti e dei capolavori che hanno animato i secoli della nostra storia, fino a saldarsi, unico e affascinante percorso, con le pagine dell’Arte moderna, dove lo sguardo si allarga in una prospettiva che varca i confini nazionali.
