Art of Memory
Giulio Camillo, posthumously, was referred to by a number of artists and writers, including Bocchi, Ariosto and Rousseau. More recently his work has been interpreted in terms of a tradition of ‘Theatres of Memory’, for example in Frances Yates’s influential book, The Art of Memory (1966). This tradition has inspired artists from many disparate disciplines, amongst them, the writers, Ted Hughes (1992), Carlota Caulfield (2003), and Hilary Mantel in Wolf Hall (2009); visual artists, Jean Dubuffet (1977) and Bill Viola (1985); and composer John Buller (2003).
