NICOLAS POUSSIN: Dialectics of Painting

28.5cm x 22cm x 2cm, pp. 163, generously illustrated in black and white as well as colour throughout. 

In this highly original and innovative study of Nicolas Poussin, one of seventeenth-century Europe's greatest artists, Oskar Batschmann presents a series of connected studies that offer new ways of interpreting the work and ideas of this brilliant and complex figure. This superbly illustrated book is a polemical challenge in a field of art-historical research that has often lost its way in insoluble disputes and erudite details.
