Marguerite Yourcenar: A Dream of Stone
Editor’s Notes:
A Dream of Stone gathers five lyric essays on Michelangelo, Dürer, and Piranesi, meditating on the decay of time and the fundamental awe at the heart of an encounter with beauty, including the return to print of her seminal “The Dark Brain of Piranesi” in Richard Howard’s translation. By Marguerite Yourcenar, the author of Memoirs of Hadrian, and part of David Zwirner Books’ ekphrasis series.
Drawing on David Zwirner’s world-renowned artists, estates, and exhibitions, the contemporary art gallery’s imprint publishes monographs, historical surveys, and collected writings of the highest quality.
