Inventing Leonardo
Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle Review
"Inventing Leonardo is a survey of and a contribution to (the commentary
that accumulated over the centuries to fill the void of unwritten autobiography
and other credible knowledge about the artist's life. . . . [Turner] explains
well some of the liberties of aesthetic speculation and some of the quandaries
of art historical research, past and present. And in the book's last and most
entertaining section, he invents some uses of his own for Leonardo's ambiguities."
