LIGUORI 2010 666 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PERFETTO E INTONSO Tra la fine del XVIII e i primi decenni del XIX secolo, nell'età delle rivoluzioni (politiche, economiche, culturali), l'Europa fu attraversata da trasformazioni storiche ed antropologiche essenziali. Nell'ambito della cultura e delle arti, il movimento che più di altri seppe riflettere lo "spirito del tempo" fu il Romanticismo, tendenza che auspicava sia il recupero della tradizione che una propria identità controcorrente. La ricostruzione messa a punto in questo volume fa ben emergere come, nell'età romantica, l'arte (attraverso le poetiche di artisti quali Goya, Friedrich, Géricault, Delacroix, Turner, Fontanesi...) si sia manifestata secondo modalità plurali e perciò, di volta in volta, come naturalistica, storica, simbolica. Un'arte radicata nella civiltà filosofica, letteraria e musicale del tempo, le cui espressioni costituiscono uno degli archetipi fondamentali della creatività estetica dell'Occidente. Alfredo De Paz Insegna Metodologia della critica d´arte e Fenomenologia degli stili nell´Università di Bologna. Ha scritto numerosi saggi e libri teorici e storici sull´arte dell´Ottocento e del Novecento. Pur non trascurando i suoi molteplici interessi disciplinari, in una direzione che si dimostra assai sensibile alla storia delle idee, da molti anni è, fra l´altro, impegnato con passione analitica a interpretare l´arte e la cultura del romanticismo europeo in una prospettiva di proiezione contemporanea e postmoderna.
