Art of Suicide (Reaktion Books - Picturing History)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom the epic to the comic, suicide has been a recurrent theme in the history of art. The Art of Suicide is a major account of the representation of suicide, from voluntary deaths in Antiquity through its Romantic glamorization to its decriminalization in modern times. Ron Brown examines the proliferation of images of suicide in the late Medieval and Renaissance eras, showing how suicide was linked to the idea of contaminated femininity and how it was used allegorically. The book concludes with some important questions concerning the study of death and suicide in the postmodern period. [detailed...]

2006 y.

Art of the 20th Century (комплект из 2 книг)

2005 y.
Publisher: Taschen
Description: Who could possibly have forecast on New Year`s Eve 1899 that, one hundred years later, painting and sculpture would be only options, not prerequisites? The term `art` has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings. Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopaedic masterwork does just what it says on the cover. Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to art of the 20th century. An undertaking as immensely ambitious as this one deserves to be owned by everyone, which is why we decided to make a special, more compact edition of this two-volume classic in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

David Talbot Rice
Art of the Byzantine Era

1997 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: For the people of Byzantium, their architectural works, frescoes, mosaics, ivories, chalices, bejewelled gospel covers and many other opulent works of art were the material proof of their greatness and power over the Mediterranean states. The vast range of these riches is illustrated in this complete account of Byzantine art from the reign of Justinian to the fall of Constantinople. David Talbot Rice, one of the greatest authorities on Byzantine art, has travelled as far afield as the rock churches of Cappadocia and Cilicia, the tufa monuments of Armenia and Georgia, and the thirteenth-century ceramic factories of Bulgaria, now buried in the alluvial mud of the Danube. His book is a masterly survey of an art of magnificence and power that belonged to a great and sophisticated society. `A scholarly guide to the art of the period in general` (The Daily Telegraph) `Useful to the student as well as a convenient and authoritative survey of Byzantine art for the general reader` (The Times… [detailed...]

Art of the Chopper II

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A great chopper is not built. It is created. It begins as the seed of an idea germinating in the mind of its creator. Bit by bit, the builder brings the machine to life, raking and stretching the frame, fabricating fenders and a gas tank, applying exquisite paint, sculpting something that lives and breathes on its own. Choppers, one of the most enduring symbols from the 1960s, are more prevalent than ever. First published in 2003 (Motorbooks Int`l) to great acclaim, and reissued in 2005, Art of the Chopper (Bulfinch Press) profiled 20 of today`s top chopper builders. As a sequel, ART OF THE CHOPPER II profiles 21 more builders and artists, including builders well known to chopper fans such as the legendary Indian Larry, auteur Gard Hollinger, and non-professionals such as Staten Island`s own Mike Pugliese. Zimberoff`s engaging text provides an in-depth analysis of the each designer`s philosophy and unique style. A foreword by James Hetfield also accompanies the almost 600… [detailed...]

Jean-Marie Schaeffer
Art of the Modern Age: Philosophy of Art from Kant to Heidegger (New French Thought Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is a sweeping and provocative work of aesthetic theory: a trenchant critique of the philosophy of art as it developed from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, combined with a carefully reasoned plea for a new and more flexible approach to art.Jean-Marie Schaeffer, one of France`s leading aestheticians, explores the writings of Kant, Schlegel, Novalis, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger to show that these diverse thinkers shared a common approach to art, which he calls the `speculative theory.` According to this theory, art offers a special kind of intuitive, quasi-mystical knowledge, radically different from the rational knowledge acquired by science. This view encouraged theorists to consider artistic geniuses the high-priests of humanity, creators of works that reveal the invisible essence of the world. Philosophers came to regard inexpressibility as the aim of art, refused to consider second-tier creations genuine art, and helped to create… [detailed...]

Art of the Siesta: A Book About Stealing Moments of Repose

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With charming urbanity and lightness of touch, Thierry Paquot argues the case for those few snatched moments of rest taken during the day in an elegantly illustrated book that will make a handsome gift for any occasion. This refreshingly original contribution to the literature of relaxation is a wonderful, sometimes erotic philosophical read that encourages us to cherish the age-old tradition of the siesta, which has ancient roots in antiquity yet is yielding even in Mediterranean lands to the tyranny of the 9-to-5 workday. Whether a heavy sleep or a five-minute doze, an afternoon nap or a mid-morning daydreaming, the siesta comes in many forms, all of which permit us to relax and reflect in the midst of a hectic daily schedule. More than that, the siesta represents the art of living ? an assertion of human autonomy in an increasingly corporatized and globalized culture. Each chapter muses on a different aspect of the siesta and celebrates the importance of… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionTsion Avital poses the question: `Is modern art--art at all?` He argues that the nonrepresentational art produced in the twentieth century was not actually art, but rather the debris of the visual tradition it replaced. Modern art has thrived on the state of total confusion existing between art and pseudo-art and the inability of many to distinguish between them. As Avital demonstrates, modern art has served as a critical intermediate stage between art of the past and the future. [detailed...]

Art, Biology, and Conservation : Biodeterioration of Works of Art (Metropolitan Museum of Art Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Despite the perception that artworks are timeless and unchanging, they are actually subject to biological attack from a variety of sources—from bacteria to fungi to insects. This groundbreaking volume, which publishes the proceedings of a conference held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2002, explores how the development of these organisms can be arrested while preserving both the work of art and the health of the conservator. The richly illustrated text, containing the writings of over 40 scientists and conservators, is divided into sections on stone and mural paintings, paper, textiles, wood and archaeological materials, treatment and prevention, and special topics. The artworks and cultural properties discussed include, among many others, Paleolithic cave paintings, Tiffany drawings, huts built by early Antarctic explorers, and a collection of toothbrushes taken from Auschwitz victims.

Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich

2002 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich explores the ways in which the Nazis used art and media to portray their country as the champion of Kultur and civilization. Rather than focusing strictly on the role of the arts in state-supported propaganda, this volume contributes to Holocaust studies by revealing how multiple domains of cultural activity served to conceptually dehumanize Jews and other groups. Contributors address nearly every facet of the arts and mass media under the Third Reich--efforts to define degenerate music and art, the promotion of race hatred through film and public assemblies, views of the racially ideal garden and landscape, race as portrayed in popular literature, the reception of art and culture abroad, the treatment of exiled artists, and issues of territory, conquest, and appeasement. Familiar subjects such as the Munich Accord, Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds, and Lebensraum (Living Space) are considered from a new… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: In this unprecedentedly wide-ranging account of art, design, and architecture in the complex Central Europe of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during its momentous last decades, Elizabeth Clegg achieves a forceful integration of political and cultural developments. Comparing the situation in eight cities—among them Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Cracow, and Zagreb—the author highlights contrasts, rivalries, parallels, and interconnections across this colorful and important region. The book deals with all the chief ethnic/national categories of Austria-Hungary and embraces all the visual arts. Focusing on their public display, appraisal, and consumption, Clegg shows how the harmonious/antagonistic coexistence of institutions, publications, and events gave rise to the dynamic art life of a period that would end in a turning point for Central Europe. As vividly revealed, this was a time and place marked by a simultaneous fear and celebration of ethnic, linguistic, and… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description From the phenomenally successful new Tate Modern to the DIA: Beacon and Liverpool Biennial, contemporary visual art seems more than ever enmeshed in prominent public institutions and new forms of patronage, whether public commissionsor corporate sponsorships. In Art, Money, Parties, renowned figures from the art world--including artists, dealers, and gallery owners--join scholars to consider these new institutional faces of contemporary art, their influence on art and artists, and how they affect the future of art. The essays in this collection, which originated at a conference organized by Tate Liverpool and the University of Liverpool, offer frequently contentious positions on the role of new institutions and patronage in the world of contemporary art. For example, while Liverpool Biennial director Lewis Biggs delivers a fairly optimistic assessment of the state of contemporary art, scholar Paul Usherwood unleashes a scathing critique of recent… [detailed...]
