Description

Dictionary of symbols. Under the direction of Jean Chevalier, with the collaboration of Alain Gheerbrant. Exemplary corresponding to the 5th Spanish edition, 1995. Editorial Herder.

Spanish version of Manuel Silvar and Arturo Rodríguez, adapted and completed by José Olives Puig.

Hardbound bound book with illustrated dust jacket and flaps. Format 18.5 x 25 cm. 1,108 pages with 300 drawings in one ink and about 1,200 voices.

When the reader next opens the art books, when he visits museums and monuments, the masterpieces will seem to him to be situated in a set of dimensions until then unnoticed, and will be enriched with a new sense …
