New by Alina Payne
This book, proceeding from a conference organized by Villa I Tatti, Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence, and the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) in Paris, sheds light on Klein’s investigations as well as on the intellectual journey of an important art historian and philosopher of the past century.
no more than two decades post-WWII, from his student days in Romania and
France to his untimely death in Florence in 1967. In these short years, he suc-
ceeded in publishing modestly, taught a little, and wrote a lot that remained
unpublished. Yet his scholarship touched many in his lifetime, finding a fol-
lowing perhaps disproportionate to the relatively low visibility of his work.
