Summary:
"This book investigates the recurrences of Piranesi in the fields of literature, photography, art, film and architecture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and argues that Piranesi is not only ingrained in the modern age in a manner hitherto overlooked, but that the formulation of the modern depended on the rediscovery, or rather series of rediscoveries, of Piranesi from 1900 until today"-- Provided by publisher.
