Why did so many artists choose to portray bridges? In this lavishly illustrated and intriguing book, John Sweetman seeks to answer this question. He traces the history of the bridge in painting and printmaking through a vast range of work, some as familiar as William Etty's The Bridge of Sighs and Claude Monet's The Railway Bridge at Argenteuil and others less well known such as Wassily Kandinsky's Composition IV and C.R.W. Nevinson's Looking Through the Brooklyn Bridge. Distinctive characteristics emerge revealing the complex role of the bridge as both symbol and metaphor, and as a place of vantage, meeting and separation.Routledge revivals.Bridges in artSymbolism in artBridges in art.Symbolism in art.704.9/44Sweetman John(John E.)1558249OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910793515103321The artist and the bridge3822481UNINA01858nlm 2200313Ia 450 99665607250331620250506084556.019840604d1698---- uy |engUKdrcnu<<A>> journal of the embassy from their Majesties John and Peter Alexievitz, emperors of Muscovy &c. over land into China through the provinces of Ustiugha, Siberia, Dauri, and the great Tartary to Peking the capital city of the Chinese empire by Everard Isbrand, their ambassador in the years 1693, 1694, and 1695written by Adam Brand, secretary of the embassytranslated from the original High-Dutch printed in Hamburgh, 1698to which is added Curious observations concerning the products of Russia by H.W.
