Acclaimed philosopher and author Umberto Eco explores mans fascination with evil, the grotesque, freakishness, and horror in art and literature. This provocative discussion explores in depth the concepts of evil, depravity, and darkness in art and literature.Rizzoli Reviews“Most art books warrant a look and, perhaps, a place on your coffee table; this perversely compelling work is meant to be read.” "Details" “…visually dazzling and intellectually provocative…Eco’s choices are superb…” "Publisher’s Weekly" “"On Ugliness" provides a wealth of information for more casual readers as well as for those hoping to delve further into this subject.” "Choice Magazine" |
