Three Essays on Style

By Erwin Panofsky

Book Overview

Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968) was one of the pre-eminent art historians of the 20th century. These three essays place Panofsky's genius in a different perspective: What Is Baroque?, Style and Medium in the Motion Pictures and The Ideological Antecedents of the Rolls-Royce Radiator. The essays are framed by an introduction by Irving Lavin, discussing the context of the essays' composition and their significance within Panofsky's oeuvre and an insightful memoir by Panofsky's former student, close friend and fellow emigre, William Heckscher.
