Obsessed by Art: Aby Warburg: His Life and His Legacy

Francesca Cernia Slovin's biography of Aby Warburg is marvelous. Touching for the intensity with which she explores the pathos of the man, shrewd in the wy she delves in the psyche of the person every move of his life. Slovin's biography has all the nourishment of an esay, hiding behind the seduction of a novel.
(Antonio Gnoli. "La Republica". Quote translated by the author)

In her useful and compelling biography, Francesca Cernia Slovin structured her turbulent subject around the uniquely charged coincidence, in Warburg, of the minutiae of a lifetime and the turning points of history.
(Joseph Koerner. "The New Republic")
