The Panofskys tell how the myth has been transformed both by the fantasy and by the mistakes of modem artists and writers from the Renaissance to the present day. Not only do they do so, vividly and sometimes wittily, but they give us sixty pictures ranging all the way from an exquisite Benvenuto Cellini sculpture to a percipient but loathsome Paul Klee still life."Gilbert Higbet "Pandora has long been an ambivalent character, whom poets and artists are at liberty to use in contrary senses: as the world's ruin, or the world's delight, according to the ebb and flow of the sex-war. The Panofskys deserve our gratitude for collecting so much material relevant to this always topical theme." Robert Graves Dora Panofeky published articles on the mythological landscapes of Poussin and on other subjects. Erwin Panofsky (1898-1968) was for many years a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. ISBN 9780691018249 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 563. Artikel-Nr. 1195566
