Flying Too Close to the Sky. Myths in Art from Classical to Contemporary.

  • The first book to show how classical Greek and Roman mythology has inspired artists over the last 2,500 years.
  • From the films of Woody Allen or the Coen brothers, to the books of Margaret Atwood or the songs of Arcade Fire, classical mythology continues to be a source of cultural inspiration. The triumphant and tragic struggles of heroes against gods, monsters or fate have always caught our attention and that of artists, whether ancient, modern or contemporary. 25 myths: Pandora, Prometheus, Venus, Theseus and the Minotaur, Bacchus, Orpheus, Icarus, Adonis, Danae, Ganymede, Leda, Pygmalion, Arachne, Narcissus, Sisyphus, Midas, Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, Helen of Troy, the Cyclops, Ulysses and Oedipus represented in more than 200 works of art, from Velázquez to Anish Kapoor, from Botticelli to Louise Bourgeois, or from El Greco to Maurizio Cattelan.
