" Leonardo da Vinci: Experience, Experiment, Design by Martin Kemp . . . explores the boundary between art and science. . . . Kemp, a leading scholar, analyzes how the artist thought on paper, arguing that the drawings reveal how his mind worked. The book gives an infinitely . . . convincing account of Leonardos secrets."-- Martin Gayford, Bloomberg.com, A renowned Leonardo authority, Kemp expands on his familiar theses about the artist's preference for experience over theory and his conviction that function determines form. Kemp's deciphering of Leonardo's infamous backward script leads to fascinating conclusions. ---Victor Swoboda, Montreal Gazette, "A landmark in Leonardo scholarship. To leaf through it is to succumb gradually to deepening degrees of astonishment." ---Sebastian Smee, The Australian, "A renowned Leonardo authority, Kemp expands on his familiar theses about the artist's preference for experience over theory and his conviction that function determines form.

Its text provides the great pleasure of simultaneously comprising close readings of the drawings themselves and a major, unified thesis regarding the artist's methods and modes of drawing and thinking." --David Rosand, Columbia University, "A strong addition to any collection and a proper tribute to one of history's most visually inventive minds. . . . Highly recommended."-- Choice, Kemp orders Leonardo's thoughts in a way that, plausibly, Leonardo himself would have favored, had the artist ever settled for one way to organize them. In fact, it is thanks to Kemp's discerning mind and scholarly ingenuity that Leonardo's thoughts reach the general public with the order, clarity, and coherency that has always eluded them. ---Francesca Fiorani, Renaissance Quarterly, Leonardo da Vinci: Experience, Experiment, Design by Martin Kemp . . . explores the boundary between art and science. . . .
