The World Turned Right Again: Walter Gibson Explains Bosch.......2000-01-05

Art is a mystical and magical phenomenon. For that reason, few scholars of the art of the past can resist the temptation to cloud their work with terminal over-analysis and obfuscating jargon. Fortunately, Walter Gibson (like St. Anthony in the desert) does not succumb to these demons. With a clear eye, he reviews the work, thought and religious sentiment of one of the most mystical painters in human history; however, he never lets daylight in upon magic. The reader finishes this delightful little tome on Bosch with a better understanding of his work, but a profound respect for his mystery. Gibson is erudite without being obfuscatory, respectful without being unduly ingratiating. An excellent work by someone who truly loves and understands art.

The book is very good, and the paintings are interesting........1999-03-14

The book, " The Life and Works of Hieronymus Bosch ", is very good because I learned about the meanings of his paintings. This book doesn't have a lot of information about Bosch's life because in those day's people didn't keep records but, you found out information through his paintings. I found it interesting that Bosch's real name was Jerome Van Aken. He got his first name from the Latin version of his name Hieronymus, and took his last name from his home town. Another interesting fact was, his paintings showed vivid images of the people in life. His paintings showed a fantasy of good and evil. Bosch did a lot of paintings where the human being is suffering or showing anger at being punished for a bad life. He paints about Christ and various saints such as Anthony, Jerome, and James. They would guide people to a good life on Earth, so they could have a good life in Heaven. Bosch is a unexplainable man because, he had a world of his own, through his artwork we get a glimpse of the man.
