Book Overview

Art and Magic is a book written by Salomon Reinach, a French archaeologist and historian of ancient art. The book explores the relationship between art and magic in various cultures throughout history. Reinach argues that art and magic are closely intertwined, and that many works of art were created with the intention of serving a magical or religious purpose. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the relationship between art and magic. Reinach discusses the use of amulets and talismans in ancient cultures, as well as the role of magic in religious art. He also explores the use of symbols and iconography in art, and how these symbols were believed to have magical properties.Throughout the book, Reinach draws on examples from a wide range of cultures and time periods, including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as medieval Europe and the Islamic world. He also examines the ways in which modern art has been influenced by magical and mystical traditions.Overall, Art and Magic is a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between art and magic, and how these two seemingly disparate fields have influenced each other throughout history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, and magic.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cults, Myths and Religions, by Salomon Reinach.
