The Language of Displayed Art

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the analysis of visual arts, this seminal work delves into the "grammar" of painting, sculpture, and architecture, exploring three layers of meaning: representational, modal, and compositional. The second edition enriches the original with two new chapters and expanded discussions, enhancing the exploration of semiotics. Accompanied by a CD featuring a virtual gallery of twenty-eight paintings, it includes questions for analysis and a notebook for personal observations. This text is essential for students of Multimodality, Applied Linguistics, and the intersection of language and art.
