About This Item
London: Thames & Hudson, 2001. 120 pages, illustrations; 21 cm. 32nd Walter Neurath Memorial Lecture, 2000. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps. "In this ground-breaking book Anthony Julius derives a Jewish aesthetic from the Second Commandment. This prohibition of idolatry is not just an injunction against idol worshipping, but a call to idol breaking; it promotes a creative iconoclasm which exposes through irony inflated claims about art. Julius identifies and celebrates those Jewish works of art which by their irony subvert artistic and political idolatry. Idolizing Pictures is a manifesto for Jewish art." - Publisher.. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo.
