Publisher description
Image and Idol
"In the Duveen Galleries for the opening of the Centenary Development at Tate Britain, the exhibition includes twenty-three works from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, borrowed predominantly from churches across England and Wales. In two essays Deacon and Lindley discuss the sculpture - which once inspired passionate devotion, intense disapproval and even physical violence - from their own distinct perspectives. In 'New Bases For Old Sculpture', Deacon discusses his points of reference for the selection and installation, highlighting the formal aspects of the sculpture. In a three-part essay, Lindley covers the religious Reformation of the sixteenth century, focusing in particular on iconoclasm, and provides a detailed analysis of the individual works selected. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs of Deacon's installation, which signals a departure from the conventions of museum display."--Jacket.
