In the fall of 1984, in a darkened lecture hall at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, two professors offered competing arguments about why beauty matters. The art historian said beauty connects. The film scholar said beauty instructs. Both were right, and both were incomplete. The question that has taken forty years to formulate is the question this book attempts to answer: if beauty connects and instructs, who controls the connection, and who writes the lesson plan? The Human Universal Beautiful proposes a new framework for understanding how beauty operates as a historical force.

Una vicenda di ambizioni e sconfitte, sfide e inganni, che è anche un ritratto appassionante del mondo cinematografico del dopoguerra, tra star osannate e troupe rivali, giornalisti a caccia di scoop e produttori disposti a tutto. Alla fine degli anni quaranta Rossellini e Magnani sono la coppia più celebre del cinema italiano: lui è il regista di spicco del neorealismo, lei la protagonista del suo capolavoro Roma città aperta.

Die beiden Freunde Gilbert und Ernst diskutieren darüber, in wieweit Kritik an Kunst eine eigene Kunstform abbildet und größere intellektuelle und künstlerische Fähigkeiten voraussetzt als das Erschaffen eines Kunstwerks. Dabei entfaltet sich ein Regenbogen formaler und ästhetischer Gesichtspunkte von Kunst und ihr Dialog spannt einen eleganten Bogen zum facettenreichen Kern des Themas.
