Product Information
On Ugliness is a brilliant new work from one of the leading intellectuals of our time and a companion volume to Eco's On Beauty. n Ugliness is a long-awaited study of the concept of ugliness through time. nlike beauty, ugliness has not been the subject of extended aesthetic research- while in every century philosophers and artists have provided numerous definitions of beauty, ugliness has been relegated to marginal notes and referred to mostly in opposition to beauty. Entertaining and eclectic, this work throws a new light on aesthetics. n Ugliness is Eco s captivating and intelligent analysis of an idea through its manifestation in art, literature, architecture and photography. agnificently illustrated and always entertaining, this is a very beautiful book.Product Identifiers
