Présentation de l'éditeur
This fascinating new book, published to accompany a landmark exhibition at the V&A opening in September 2006, provides an unrivalled insight into the working of Leonard da Vinci's visual mind and conveys the magnificent scale of his ideas. The pages of his notebooks are unparalleled in the graphic work of any other thinker from any age and they deal with mighty inventions, great visions of the earth in age-long transformation, the mysterious governance of mathematical proportion in the design of the universe, the most detailed observations and theories of the motions of waters, meticulous reconstructions of the operation of heart valves and with the arts of peace and the science of war. Drawing on the collections of the V&A, The Royal Library Windsor, The British Library, The Bill and Melinda Gates Collection and The British Museum, extraordinary pages from his notebooks, some virtually unknown, are brought to life by large-scale models, most notably his flying machine, tank and giant cross-bow.

hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Princeton. 2007. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691129051. 224 pages. hardcover. keywords: Art History. DESCRIPTION - Here, the world's leading authority on Leonardo da Vinci takes us to the heart of the Renaissance master's genius - his visual thinking. Probing the mystery of how da Vinci thought graphically, on paper, Martin Kemp traces not only his approach to modeling but also fascinating efforts by modern engineering to build his inventions. Could these inventions have worked? We see da Vinci visualizing mighty ideas from the arts of peace to the science of war - great visions of the earth, the mystery of mathematical proportion in the design of the universe, detailed observations on the motion of waters, and meticulous reconstructions of how heart valves function, as well as his flying machine, tank, and giant crossbow. No one ever used paper as a laboratory for thinking on the scale of Leonardo da Vinci. No one graced pages with such an impetuous cascade of observations, visualized thoughts, brainstormed alternatives, theories, polemics, and debates concerning virtually every branch of knowledge about the visible world. This lavishly illustrated and elegantly written book examines 200 extraordinary pages from da Vinci's notebooks, some virtually unknown, to illuminate the most fundamental aspect of his work. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, Leonardo da Vinci: Experience, Experiment, and Design provides unrivaled insight into the workings of the artist's visual mind. Leonardo da Vinci never lost his sense of awe over the wonders of natural design. With this book, we can experience a comparable sense of awe when faced with the enduring grandeur and freshness of his vision. inventory #36468. N° de réf. du vendeur z36468
