This text translated into English and published 1968.
Subtitle, A concept in Art Theory.
But what is the concept, apart from Idea?
Tucked away at the back in an appendix, is Ficino on symposium, I'm begining to hear Duck Quack #DuckQuack, plus there is Durer and Michelangelo and a bit of a give away, M on beloved.
So is the idea Love, or is it Beauty. or the beauty of the beloved or the love of beauty? We are never given a Greek string, the text must have been German, the Ficino is Italian, then the translations are all into English by a 1968 Yank.
This is going to be a Now I'm '68 into LGBTQ* for 2015.
