«Idea» is an essay on the history and theory of art by Erwin Panofsky, published by Cátedra in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
The essay reconstructs the history of art theory from the concept of idea, examining how philosophers, artists and theorists have understood artistic creation. Panofsky relates the transformations of aesthetic thought to different conceptions of inspiration and imitation, and traces its roots in the Platonic tradition and its evolution up to the Early Modern period.
Part of the Ensayos Arte Cátedra collection. Includes black-and-white illustrations and measures 21 x 15 cm.
For readers interested in aesthetics, art history and art theory, including humanities students.
Erwin Panofsky was a German art historian whose work represents a high point in the modern academic study of iconography, including his hugely influential Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art and his seminal Early Netherlandish Painting.
