Perspective as Symbolic Form
Erwin Panofsky's Perspective as Symbolic Form is one of the great works of modern intellectual history, the legendary text that has dominated all art historical and philosophical discussions on the topic of perspective in this century. Finally available in English, it is an unrivaled example of Panofsky's early method that placed him within broader developments in theories of knowledge and cultural change. Here, drawing on a massive body of learning that ranges over Antique philosophy, theology, science, and optics as well as the history of art, Panofsky produces a type of 'archaeology' of Western representation that far surpasses the usual scope of art historical studies. Perspective in Panofsky's hands becomes a central component of a Western 'will to form,' the expression of a schema linking the social, cognitive, psychological, and especially technical practices of a given culture into harmonious and integrated wholes. Yet the perceptual schema of each historical culture or epoch

Stadsmusikanterna I Bremen
En vacker nytolkning av bröderna Grimms klassiska saga av den nederländska barnboksförfattaren- och illustratören Gerda Muller. Tidigare har Karneval förlag publicerat följande böcker av Gerda Muller: Trollkarlens lärling (2023), Guldlock (2024) och Pysslingfolket och ekorrarna (2024). Sagt om Guldlock: »Miljö- och tidsskildring är lika modern som den är klassiskt naturromantisk. Det är omsorgsfullt tecknat, detaljerat utan att vara plottrigt, och vilsamt färgsatt i dova toner på sepiafärgade uppslag. Interiören inbjudande rustik, möblemanget skogsrobust och de upprepade jämförelserna i storleksförhållande är förståeligt och välproportionerligt illustrerade. Helhetsbetyg: 5.« Maria Nestorzon i BTJ
