Winner, Matthias ; Oskar Bätschmann - Der Künstler über Sich in Seinem Werk : Internationales Symposium Der Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rom, 1989

Weinheim, Germany, Acta Humaniora, 1992. Hardcover. Red cloth-bound boards with gray text on cover and spine. (1) 2-586 pp. Features some b+w illustrations. "The development of modern art can be seen as a historical process of ever greater artistic freedom. The relationship between client and artist has been shifting towards an increasingly strong autonomy of artistic work, at least since the Renaissance. When the artists themselves began to develop a written-fixed theory of art in the Renaissance, they thought not only about the technical processes of their work, but also about the process of shaping in their consciousness. The artist reaches a new level of self-reflection between 1400 and 1800. The new self-understanding of the artist as 'virtuoso' inevitably leads to artistic independence, because it also implies moral self-determination in the artistic work." - translated from foreword.
