Capire l'opera d'arte (Etcetera) by Heinrich Wölfflin

Brevissimo testo ma importante punto di vista rispetto all'esperienza dell'opera d'arte. Una citazione chiarisce il contenuto del libro e il punto di vista di Wolfflin: «Spiegare significa situare il singolo prodotto artistico in un rapporto storico in virtù del quale soltanto esso può diventare comprensibile».
