The Invisible Masterpiece Hardcover - 2001
by Hans Belting; Helen Atkins (Translator)
First line
Our notion of the 'work of art' has its origin in the concept of the unique 'masterpiece', an idea that gained currency when the first museums were founded: revered icons or works of star quality were crucial to justify the existence of the temples of art that bourgeois culture demanded.
