$32.00
“Professor Giedion, well known as an historian of architecture, is concerned in this latest work with a problem that in his view has come more and more into the the dual concepts of constancy and change in many spheres, ranging from the creative to the philosophical . . .The two keys to the meaning of prehistoric art, S. Giedion maintains, are the symbol, portraying reality before reality exists, and the animal as man’s superior in the unified primordial world in which both man and animal were embedded. The illustrations – more than 500, including 20 in color – include photographs of paleolithic paintings, engravings, and sculpture (mostly taken in the caverns of France and Spain under the author’s supervision), examples from recent primative and contemporary art, drawings, diagrams, and maps.”

*This came from a former professor’s collection, who used low-tack post-it notes to bookmark/annotate his books. Most of them have been removed, however it is possible that a stray few were overlooked. If this is the case, they are both unobtrusive and easily removable. Additionally, there may be annotations. In most, however not all cases, they are solely in the introduction/foreword. Any clarifying questions should be emailed to tornlight@gmail.com*
*Image in the listing is stock. There may be variation in the actual product.
