Omschrijving
This evocative book traces the shifting ways artists have envisioned the dreamworld--from prophetic visions and sacred visitations to nightmares, fantasies, and surreal inventions. Spanning millennia and a wide range of artistic forms, the volume brings together a diverse selection of works that show how dreams have stirred imagination, shaped belief, and opened pathways to other states of consciousness.
Sculptures, painted panels, illuminated manuscripts, frescoes, temple reliefs, narrative cycles, drawings, prints, photographs, collages, and street art reveal how artists working in different contexts have turned to dream imagery to express wonder, fear, longing, and transformation. Each work is presented in a two-page spread that focuses on symbolic meaning and cultural context, situating dreams within evolving systems of belief--from ancient omens and medieval revelations to Renaissance allegories, Romantic visions, and modern reflections on the unconscious--while remaining closely tied to the visual experience.
Across these varied media, readers encounter images that frame dreams as divine messages, moral warnings, spiritual encounters, psychological disturbances, and powerful tools to free the artistic imagination. Devotional scenes and prophetic narratives give way to more inward, fragmented, and surreal explorations of the dreaming mind.
Works by Giotto, Fra Angelico, Rembrandt, Fuseli, Goya, Hokusai, Magritte, Kahlo, and Banksy, alongside many others whose contributions broaden the scope of the inquiry, offer a layered study of the dream as artistic subject and cultural mirror, revealing how artists across time have sought to give form to experiences that resist logic, language, and waking consciousness.
