| 內容簡介： |
Erik Desmazières is acknowledged as a contemporary master of
the art of etching. With breathtaking virtuosity, he recreates
interiors, cityscapes, landscapes and fantastical compositions from
a Piranesian world. Any new work Desmazières produces is a
bibliophile’s delight; and this book, the first in which he uses
colour, reimagines the arcane world of the cabinet of curiosities:
antiquarian collections of the recondite, rare and bizarre, which
reminded the viewer of the vanity of earthly life. Patrick
Mauriès’s text is in three parts. The first locates Desmazières and
his work in the long tradition of artist-printmakers; the second
surveys the world of 17th-century antiquarianism and its intriguing
cast of characters John Evelyn, John Aubrey and, above all, Thomas
Browne, plus many of their continental counterparts; and in the
third Mauriès examines today’s reawakened interest in cabinets of
rarities and curiosities, and considers how a phenomenon once
considered the preserve of specialists has entered the cultural
mainstream.
