Nigel Aston
Art and Religion in Eighteenth-Century Europe

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Eighteenth-century Europe witnessed monumental upheavals in both the Catholic and Protestant faiths and the repercussions rippled down to the churches’ religious art forms. Nigel Aston now chronicles here the intertwining of cultural and institutional turmoil during this pivotal century. The sustained popularity of religious art in the face of competition from increasingly prevalent secular artworks lies at the heart of this study. Religious art staked out new spaces of display in state institutions, palaces, and private collections, the book shows, as well as taking advantage of patronage from monarchs such as Louis XIV and George III, who funded religious art in an effort to enhance their monarchial prestige. Aston also explores the motivations and exhibition practices of private collectors and analyzes changing Catholic and Protestant attitudes toward art. The book also examines purchases made by corporate patrons such as charity hospitals and religious confraternities… [detailed...]

Art and Thought (New Interventions in Art History)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionArt and Thought is a collection of newly commissioned essays that explores the relationship between the discipline of art history and important movements in the history of western thought. Contributors from both sides of the Atlantic consider the impact of the writings of key thinkers, including Aristotle, Kant, and Heidegger, on the way in which objects are perceived and understood and histories of art are constructed, deconstructed, and reconfigured according to varying sets of philosophical frameworks. Engaging and provocative, Art and Thought presents an incisive analysis of the intellectual preoccupations that inform the complex narrative of our visual culture, and introduces the reader to the dynamic interface between philosophical reflections and art practices.

Louise Bourdua, Anne Dunlop
Art and the Augustinian Order in Early Renaissance Italy

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: The rise of the mendicant orders in the later Middle Ages coincided with rapid and dramatic shifts in the visual arts. The mendicants were prolific patrons, relying on artworks to instruct and impress their diverse lay congregations. Churches and chapels were built, and new images and iconographies developed to propagate mendicant cults. But how should the two phenomena be related? How much were these orders actively responsible for artistic change, and how much did they simply benefit from it? To explore these questions, `Art and the Augustinian Order in Early Renaissance Italy` looks at art in the formative period of the Augustinian Hermits, an order with a particularly difficult relation to art. As a first detailed study of visual culture in the Augustinian order, this book will be a basic resource, making available previously inaccessible material, discussing both well-known and more neglected artworks, and engaging with fundamental methodological questions for pre-modern art and… [detailed...]

Description: China boasts a history of art stretching over 5,000 years and embracing a vast array of forms--objects of jade, lacquer and porcelain, painted scrolls and fans, sculptures in stone, bronze and wood, and murals. With more than 130 halftone illustrations, including almost eighty in full color, this new edition of Art in China presents the finest one-volume introduction to all forms of Chinese art. The book examines Chinese art in a variety of contexts--as it has been designed for tombs, commissioned by rulers, displayed in temples, created by the men and women of the educated elite, and bought and sold in the marketplace. Drawing on recent innovative scholarship--and newly accessible studies in China itself--Craig Clunas surveys the full spectrum of the visual arts. This updated edition contains expanded coverage of modern and contemporary art, from the fall of the empire in 1911 to the contemporary video art scene. [detailed...]

Art in Europe: 1990 - 2000

Description: Book Description Art in Europe: The 1990s brings together essays of some of today`s most aware art critics, together with extensive photographic documentation of the works of the more significant European artists to have emerged in the 1990s. It was a period characterized by rapid transformations and by attempts at economic, social and political reconfiguration following events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fragmentation into new states, the wars in the former Yugoslavia, the introduction of the euro and the debate on the role of the European Union. It was a decade when the concept known as `globalization` imposed itself, but at the same time it saw the rise of nationalisms and claims to specific cultural identity. Apparentlycontradictory tendencies occurred in the visual arts, too. On one hand, a transnational scenario seems to have been consolidated through museums, specialist reviews, the spreading of I.T. communication and the birth of important new… [detailed...]

Maarten Doorman
Art in Progress

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In this challenging essay, Maarten Doorman argues that in art, belief in progress is still relevant, if not essential. The radical freedoms of postmodernism, he claims, have had a crippling effect on art, leaving it in danger of becoming meaningless. Art can only acquire meaning through context, the concept of progress, then, is ideal as the primary criterion for establishing that context. The history of art, in fact, can be seen as a process of constant accumulation, works of art commenting on one another and enriching one another`s meanings. It is these complex interrelationships and the progress they create in both art and its observers that Doorman, in a display of great philosophical erudition, defends. [detailed...]
