Críticas

["Arrest and Movement"] deals with two questions that are basic in the grammar of ancient art, the way of rendering objects and the significance of the surrounding space...An appreciation of the works discussed is set in its proper connection, the meaning and purpose, the life of the time...One closes the book with gratitude to Mrs. Frankfort for her good sense and her ability to reinspire forgotten wonder.

Reseña del editor

The beauty of Egyptian, Babylonian, and Cretan art is shot through with oddity. However much we are fascinated by the ancient works, we find ourselves wondering what precisely the artists meant when they rendered objects and indicated spatial relations the way they did. "Arrest and Movement" is the only book to analyze pre-Greek art in terms of issues such as space and narrative. It is a landmark book that will bring to students and museum-goers deeper understanding of this eloquent but seemingly eccentric art.
