Book Description
Aby M. Warburg (18661929) is recognized not only as one of the century's preeminent art and Renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg's 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available in the first complete English translation, offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest. This edition includes thirty-nine photographs, many of them originally presented as slides with the speech, and a rich interpretive essay by the translator. The presentation grew out of Warburg's 1895 encounter with the Hopi Indians, an experience he claimed generated his theory of the Renaissance. In this powerfully written piece, Warburg investigates the relationships among ethnography, iconography, and cultural studies to develop a multicultural history of modernity.

5.0 out of 5 stars
best book of the 90's!, Jan 11 2000
By DS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America (Hardcover)
This book is a brilliant portrayal of the pueblo and the translation is so seamless one would think it was written in English! This is definitely one of the top 5 of the 90's
