At first glance, it may seem that there are more differences between Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Bill Viola (b. 1951) than similarities. One is the great master of the Italian Renaissance, known for his iconic sculptures and paintings. The other is a contemporary artist known for his innovative use of sound and video to create immersive installations. However, when Martin Clayton exhibited Viola's Her Majesty The Queen's unparalleled collection of Michelangelo drawings at Windsor in 2006, intriguing parallels began to emerge. This book offers a fresh perspective on the works of both artists.
Stills and sequences from ten key video pieces by Viola are reproduced alongside fourteen of Michelangelo's presentation drawings, as well as the Taddei Tondo, the only Michelangelo marble sculpture in the UK and a treasure of the Royal Academy's collection. Texts by Martin Clayton examine how existential concerns, which were prevalent among many Renaissance artists, including Michelangelo, are explored in Viola's often profoundly moving video installations. Meanwhile, Kira Perov provides insight into Viola's working processes.
By juxtaposing these images and texts, the book offers a deeper understanding of the artistic influences and inspirations that shaped the works of Michelangelo and Bill Viola. It sheds light on the shared themes of humanity, spirituality, and the natural world that unite these two artists across centuries. Whether you are a fan of classical art or contemporary installations, this book will provide you with a new appreciation for the remarkable contributions of Michelangelo and Bill Viola to the world of art.
