Curiosity: art and the pleasure of knowing


Uittreksel

This book draws on the work of the eclectic, quarterly magazine Cabinet to explore the notion of intellectual and creative curiosity across periods, genres and fields. Compiled in association with academic, editor and author Brian Dillon, this richly illustrated book explores objects, artworks and narratives drawn from a wide variety of disciplines - scientific, occult, anthropological, aesthetic, technological and sexual - taking as its guide a sensibility that developed in Europe in the early-Modern period and tracing it at work in disparate historical contexts.
