abstract:
The essay examines a corpus of Roberto Longhi’s works written between 1912 and 1922 and those chosen by the author himself for the first volume of his Opere complete published by Sansoni, the Scritti giovanili.
The first section, which makes a general analysis of Longhi’s language, is followed by a more specific lexical search. finally a glossary constructed from a number of isolated entries reveals the persistance of Longhi’s lexical innovations.
This glossary is compiled in such a way as to evidence the continuity of their use in the field of art history. The choice of entries allows an evaluation of Longhi’s innovative contribution to the language of art criticism; this is developed in the invention of new expressions or new meanings for already existing words, and is seen in the way his creativity continues to show its vitality in the following decades
