Experiencing art and architecture : lessons on looking
Iliescu, Sanda, 1959-2022
Books
In this multidisciplinary book, Sanda Iliescu articulates a rich, multi-faceted approach to the aesthetic experience. Through in-depth discussions of her own lived encounters with art, architecture, and the world around her, she advocates a way of looking that blends sensory perception, formal analysis, social and political consciousness, and personal memory. Focusing special attention on the aesthetic concept of the figure-ground problem, the author challenges this foundational principle's presumed hierarchies and shows how a new and more dynamic understanding of it can enhance our way of looking at and understanding art and architecture.
