The Contributions Of Meyer Shapiro To Romanesque Art

Abstract: An 8 page paper that discusses the contribution that Meyer Shapiro made to Romanesque Art. It discusses how Shapiro relates the aesthetics of Romanesque Art to the social desire of the period to create beauty as well as speak to the religious themes, and that aesthetic renderings of religious themes was the main intent of the artists. He proves this through a discussion of the liberties the artists took with those themes. This representation runs counter to most discussions of Romanesque art, which focus on form and function. 1 source cited.
