A selection of texts on art and artists by the Belgian French novelist and essayist Marguerite Yourcenar
Best known for her seminal novel Memoirs of Hadrian (1951), an imagined autobiography of the Roman emperor, Yourcenar brings the same depth of inquiry and inventive speculation to her lyric prose on art and artists in this newest title in the ekphrasis seriesIn these five jewel-like essays, Yourcenar meditates on the decay of time, the desire both satiated and refused by art, and the imagery animating the lives, works, and dreams of Michelangelo, Dürer, and Piranesi. And in an intimate mediation on the historical novel, Yourcenar describes her own encounters with how language and sound reveal the past.
Together these exquisitely imagined and precise essays explore that fundamental aweperhaps even the terrorat the heart of an encounter with beauty.
An introduction by John Knight sketches the life of this extraordinary writer, and situates Yourcenars unique criticism within her attempt to capture the great struggle required to make an enduring work of artSubtle and learned, Yourcenars essays are like stepping stones into the past and the shadowy business of artistic creation. Bringing back into print Yourcenars seminal essay The Dark Brain of Piranesi in the poet Richard Howards elegant English translation, conducted in collaboration with the author, this volume also collects texts from That Mighty Sculptor, Time (1983) into a particularly focused volume.
