The Image Regained: Painting and Photography in the 1980s and 90s

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSome people once boldly predicted that photography would displace painting altogether. Others asked whether a photograph could be art in the first place. As it turned out, these two forms of expression have had a stimulating effect on oneanother during their long years of coexistence. The Image Regained illustrates, with works by outstanding contemporary artists and photographers, the intensity and consequences of this exchange over the past twenty years. Work by Amy Adler, Bernd &, Hilla Becher, Rineke Dijkstra, Gilbert &, George, Andreas Gursky, Amedeo Martegani, Elizabeth Peyton, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and others reveals that, more frequently than not, the encounter between painting and photography has rocked our very understanding of the image. Painting, under the influence of photography, is now finding its way back from the abstract to the figurative, whereas photography, in the 80s, claimed for itself the… [detailed...]

The Image Society: Essays on Visual Culture

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWe live in an age in which text is gradually losing ground to the image. People read less and spend ever more time in front of the computer screen or the TV. Events and personal lives are no longer only documented in reports, letters, or diaries, but also with digital cameras and video recorders. The fast-moving images of MTV continue to exercise increasing influence on youth culture. Images obviously have a certain directness, accessibility, and attraction that puts them at an advantage in the competition to grab the audience`s attention. To stimulate an exchange of ideas about this contemporary situation, six writers, scholars, and experts were invited to devote an essay to the problems and potential of visual culture, examining questions of digitization, reproduction and authorship, the influence on our historic consciousness, and the impact on expressive traditions. Published in conjunction with The National Institute for Photography in the Netherlands. Edited… [detailed...]

The Imaginary Everyday: Genre Painting and Prints in Italy and France, 1580-1670

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Members of the lower classes rarely appeared in Renaissance art. Their entry into visual culture occurred later, around 1580. Not surprisingly, it turned out to be a tumultuous affair, fraught with conflicts produced by rapid social change and the spectre of poverty. Sheila McTighe brilliantly examines the emergence of the so-called genre art that constitutes nothing less than the first broad and sustained effort to represent the other half of society. Caravaggio is shown to be a lightning rod for the forces of change. But the main contribution of this book comes through its reconstruction of the contexts in which paintings like Caravaggio`s `Fruit Seller` and Annibale Carracci`s `Bean Eater` were produced and found an audience.McTighe breaks entirely new ground by relating genre art to the development of a learned consensus that working people were born with coarse, inferior bodies. At the same time, we learn, workers and the poor came to be associated with laziness and deceit in the… [detailed...]

Lydia Goehr
The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is involved in the composition, performance, and reception of classical music? What are we doing when we listen to this music seriously? Why when playing a Beethoven sonata do performers begin with the first note indicated in the score, why don`t they feel free to improvise around the sonata`s central theme? Why, finally, does it go against tradition for an audience at a concert of classical music to tap its feet? Bound up in these questions is the overriding question of what it means philosophically, musically, and historically for musicians to speak about music in terms of `works`. In this book, Lydia Goehr describes how the concept of a musical work fully crystallized around 1800, and subsequently defined the norms, expectations, and behavioral patterns that have come to characterize classical musical practice. The description is set in the context of a more general philosophical account of the rise and fall of concepts and ideals, and of their normative functions, at… [detailed...]
