Book Description
"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.

Book Description
Richly illustrated, Early Gothic Column-Figure Sculpture in France is a comprehensive investigation of church portal sculpture installed between the 1130s and the 1170s. At more than twenty great churches, beginning at the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis and extending around Paris from Provins in the east, south to Bourges and Dijon, and west to Chartres and Angers, larger than life-size statues of human figures were arranged along portal jambs, many carved as if wearing the dress of the highest ranks of French society. This study takes a close look at twelfth-century human figure sculpture, describing represented clothing, defining the language of textiles and dress that would have been legible in the twelfth-century, and investigating rationale and significance. The concepts conveyed through these extraordinary visual documents and the possible motivations of the patrons of portal programs with column-figures are examined through contemporaneous historical, textual, and visual evidence in various media. Appendices include analysis of sculpture production, and the transportation and fabrication in limestone from Paris. Janet Snyder's new study considers how patrons used sculpture to express and shape perceived reality, employing images of textiles and clothing that had political, economic, and social significances.
