The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture Modernism in the visual arts has been defined as a liberation from the classical inheritance. But according to one standard narrative, the modern discipline of art history began only with a study of ancient art and sculpture. This book states that the modern study of ancient art and the making of modern art are inextricably intertwined. Full description

Revue de presse :
Never less than persuasive,in the subtlety and accessibility of its visual or verbal analyses,the book includes revelatory ideas on almost every page.
Jason Edwards, Reader in the History of Art, University of York
This is a wonderful book. It commands, with enviable ease, both ancient and modern data, and moves seamlessly and to excellent effect between evocative description and theoretical criticism. This is a book which any graduate student starting to work on ancient art will in future have to read. It is fundamentally enlightening about the way in which sculpture has been studied - and about what it is to study sculpture. It is certainly a book that the exhibition-going public and the serious visitor to the British Museum (or indeed to English country houses with classical sculpture collections) ought to read as well. It manages to be repeatedly eye-opening.

This is a book which any graduate student starting to work on ancient art will in future have to read. It is fundamentally enlightening about the way in which sculpture has been studied and about what it is to study sculpture. It is a book that would work well with undergraduates from their second year on when they have already learnt something of either ancient art or the art history of the last quarter of a millennium.

What can modern art have to do with ancient sculpture? Surely the excitement of modern art lies in its utter repudiation of classical example? Elizabeth Prettejohn's important and revisionist new book argues otherwise: that ancient sculpture and modern art have been in constant dialogue since Johann Joachim Winckelmann invented the modern discipline of art history. It shows how ancient sculptures could inspire artists such as Rodin,Leighton or Picasso,and how modern artworks could help to interpret sculptors such as Pheidias and Praxiteles. The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture will have strong appeal to students of modern art and the classics alike.
