Hardback. Norman E. Land, Pennsylvania State University Press. In "The Viewer as Poet", Norman Land provides a comprehensive survey of ekphrasis in literature and art criticism from antiquity through the Renaissance. Land demonstrates that Renaissance art criticism assimilated the poetic tradition of ekphrasis while maintaining its function of analysing works of art. Broadly speaking, the book shows that purely literary descriptions of art in poetry and prose contain a response like that found in art-critical ekphrasis. This is true in both antiquity and the Renaissance. The response to art in the elder Philostatus' "Imagines", for example, is like that found in the descriptions of Apuleius and Lucian. Later Dante, Boccaccio and Poliziano, among others, respond to imaginary works of art in their poetry in much the same way that Lorenzo Ghiberti, Aretino and Vasari respond to real works in their writings. Land offers a synthetic description of the Renaissance response to, or experience of, art as embodied in literature, including art criticism. This book should form the basis for a deeper understanding of Renaissance art than we have now, for it provides not only a tool for viewing works of art as they were originally seen and experienced - that is, from an historical perspective - but also an outline of the tradition out of which modern writings about art grew.
