Piranesi and the modern age

by Victor Plahte Tschudi

This book examines the enduring influence of 18th-century Italian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi, exploring how modern literature, photography, art, film and architecture appropriated his visionary etchings to legitimise their own theories and movements.

brief_description
Explores the complex appropriation and continual rediscoveries of Piranesi by modern literature, photography, art, film, and architecture. Tracing the ways that the modern age constructed itself and its origin through Piranesi across genres, he shows, for example, how Piranesi's work formulates the ideas of “contrast” in photography, “abstraction” in painting and “montage” in cinema. -- blurb
