He was a murderer, thief, lover of both genders, servant and rival of popes and princes, as well as an ingenious artist. In his legendary autobiography, the <em>Vita</em>, Cellini describes his activities vividly and in lurid detail. Often, the most disturbing passages were dismissed as fiction. In this clear-eyed portrayal, Andreas Beyer argues that these sensational accounts of body, sex and extreme experiences are not only entertaining but authentic. They reveal the true depth of Cellinis character: an artist who embraced lifes full spectrum and shattered all boundaries. This book asserts that the roots of artistic autonomy in modernism can be traced back to Cellinis audacious life and work.</p>...7071436Benvenuto Cellini and the Embodiment of the Modern Artist397484https://www.gandhi.com.mx/benvenuto-cellini-and-the-embodiment-of-the-modern-artist-9781836390022/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7041041/image.jpg?v=638905996255000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781836390022_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_<p><strong>A clear-eyed reconsideration of a scandalous Renaissance sculptors autobiography and art.</strong></p><p>Benvenuto Cellini was a murderer, thief, lover of all genders, rival of popes and princes, as well as an ingenious artist.
