Summary:
"The understanding of symbols - whether animals, artifacts, plants, shapes or gestures - is crucial to appreciating art. This authoritative guide unearths the stories behind over fifty of the most commonly occuring and intriguing symbols from across the globe, from 2300 BCE to the present day. While symbols cross dialects and national boundaries, their meaning can vary and are often complex and culturally specific, making this well-researched introduction all the more valuable. Accessible and absorbing, the book's broad approach deflty demonstrates how the symbols used by artists have evolved over thousands of years. Mathew Wilson explores symbolism's subtle implications and overt and covert meanings, providing an indispensable tool for interpretation. A reference section includes suggestions for further reading and a glossary of art and historical terms."--Jacket.
