- This monograph is the first key work on Edgar Wind’s concept of the ‘tradition of symbols in modern art’. Over ten-years, extensive research was undertaken on the Wind Papers at the Bodleian Library, and related archives (Warburg Institute, Smith College). The writing process involved a reconstruction from documents of Wind’s unpublished critique of formalist accounts of modern art, which was then interpreted in relation to its historical context and Wind’s published writings on philosophy and art. Original insights emerged from this analysis, into Wind, his artist friends (Tchelitchew, Shahn and Kitaj), and more broadly, the iconographical approach to art history.
