Anotace:
Významný znalec anglické gotiky Paul Binski, renomovaný profesor dějin středověkého umění na Cambridge University, má připravenu novou knihu o tzv. dekorativním stylu (Decorated Style), což je neslavnější tvůrčí fáze anglické gotické architektury od konce 13. do poloviny 14. století.
Jeho knihu pod názvem Gothic Wonder - Art, Artifice, and the Decorated Style 1290–1350 připravuje na prosinec 2014 americké nakladatelství Yale University Press a mělo by jít o kunsthistorickou událost roku. Kniha má mít téměř pět set stran a 270 reprodukcí.
Poslední velkou monografii na toto téma napsal Jean Bony a pod názvem The English decorated style, Gothic architecture transformed 1250 – 1350 vyšla v Oxfordu v roce 1979. Bony se soustředil hlavně na styl, Binski hledá vzájemné vazby umění, ikonografie a historie.
Binski vždy dovede inspirovat. Přátelé, máme se na co těšit!

Anotace nakladatelství Yale University Press:
In this wide-ranging, eloquent book, Paul Binski sheds new light on one of the greatest periods of English art and architecture, offering ground-breaking arguments about the role of invention and the powers of Gothic art. His richly documented study locates what became known as the Decorated Style within patterns of commissioning, designing, and imagining whose origins lay in pre-Gothic art.
By examining notions of what was extraordinary, re-evaluating medieval ideas of authorship, and restoring economic considerations to the debate, Binski sets English visual art of the early 14th century in a broad European context and also within the aesthetic discourses of the medieval period.
The author, stressing the continuum between art and architecture, challenges understandings about agency, modernity, hierarchy, and marginality. His book makes a powerful case for the restoration of the category of the aesthetic to the understanding of medieval art.
Generously illustrated with hundreds of images, Gothic Wonder traces the impact of English art in Continental Europe, ending with the Black Death and the literary uses of the architectural in works by Geoffrey Chaucer and other writers.
