Patronage, Art, and Society in Renaissance Italy
ISBN: 9780198219781 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Patronage, in its broadest sense, has been established as one of the dominant social processes of pre-industrial Europe. While it has been traditionally viewed simply as the context for extraordinary artistic creativity, patronage has more recently been examined by historians and art historians alike as a comprehensive system of patron-client structures which permeated society and social relations. Focusing specifically on the city of Florence, these essays explore the new understanding of Renaissance Italy as a 'patronage society, ' considering its implications for the study of art patronage...

Art and Embodiment
ISBN: 9780198239963 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In his Critical Aesthetics and Postmodernism, Paul Crowther argued that art and aesthetic experiences have the capacity to humanize. In Art and Embodiment he develops this theme in much greater depth, arguing that art can bridge the gap between philosophy's traditional striving for generality and completeness, and the concreteness and contingency of humanity's basic relation to the world. As the key element in his theory, he proposes an ecological definition of art. His strategy involves first mapping out and analyzing the logical boundaries and ontological structures of the aesthetic domain....

Pliny's Catalogue of Culture: Art and Empire in the Natural History
ISBN: 9780199207657 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the earliest surviving examples of 'art history', Pliny the Elder's 'chapters on art' form part of his encyclopaedic Natural History, completed shortly before its author died during the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. This important new work argues that the Natural History offers a sophisticated account of the world as empire, in which art as much as geography can be used to expound a Roman imperial agenda. Reuniting the 'chapters on art' with the rest of the Natural History, Sorcha Carey considers how the medium of the 'encyclopaedia' affects Pliny's presentation of art, and reveals...

Vanities of the Eye: Vision in Early Modern European Culture
ISBN: 9780199250134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Vanities of the Eye investigates the cultural history of the senses in early modern Europe, a time in which the nature and reliability of human vision was the focus of much debate. In medicine, art theory, science, religion, and philosophy, sight came to be characterized as uncertain or paradoxical--mental images no longer resembled the external world. Was seeing really believing? Stuart Clark explores the controversial debates of the time--from the fantasies and hallucinations of melancholia, to the illusions of magic, art, demonic deceptions, and witchcraft. The truth and...

Obscure Objects of Desire: Surrealism, Fetishism, and Politics
ISBN: 9780199253425 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Through the analysis of narratives, paintings and objets surrealistes by Breton, Aragon, Dali, and others, Malt examines how the object emerges as psychologically and historically marked in the surrealist context, functioning as both fetish and fetishized commodity. Responding to recent debates about the role of the uncanny and the representation of the body in surrealist art and literature, Malt's study offers new perspectives on familiar works such as the paintings of Salvador Dali as well as illuminating relatively neglected ones such as Breton's poemes-objets.

Sight and Sensibility: Evaluating Pictures
ISBN: 9780199277346 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Images have power--for good or ill. They may challenge us to see things anew and, in widening our experience, profoundly change who we are. The change can be ugly, as with propaganda, or enriching, as with many works of art. Sight and Sensibility explores the impact of images on what we know, how we see, and the moral assessments we make. Dominic Lopes shows how these are part of, not separate from, the aesthetic appeal of images. His book will be essential reading for anyone working in aesthetics and art theory, and for all those intrigued by the power of images to affect our lives.

Ordinary Images
ISBN: 9780226000442 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This richly illustrated book explores the large body of sculpture, paintings, and other religious imagery produced for China's common classes from the third to the sixth centuries C.E. In contrast to the works made for imperial patrons, illustrious monastics, or other luminaries, these ordinary images-modest in scale, mass produced, and at times incomplete-were created for those of lesser standing. Because they cannot be related to well-known historical figures or social groups, these images have been considered a largely nebulous, undistinguished mass of works.

The Architecture of Michelangelo
ISBN: 9780226002408 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this widely acclaimed work, James Ackerman considers in detail the buildings designed by Michelangelo in Florence and Rome including the Medici Chapel, the Farnese Palace, the Basilica of St. Peter, and the Capitoline Hill. He then turns to an examination of the artist's architectural drawings, theory, and practice. As Ackerman points out, Michelangelo worked on many projects started or completed by other architects. Consequently this study provides insights into the achievements of the whole profession during the sixteenth century. The text is supplemented with 140 black-and-white...

When Buildings Speak: Architecture as Language in the Habsburg Empire and Its Aftermath, 1867-1933
ISBN: 9780226015064 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In When Buildings Speak, Anthony Alofsin explores the rich yet often overlooked architecture of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire and its successor states. He shows that several different styles emerged in this milieu during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Moreover, he contends that each of these styles communicates to us in a manner resembling language and its particular means of expression.
Covering a wide range of buildings--from national theaters to crematoria, apartment buildings to warehouses, and sanatoria to postal savings banks--Alofsin proposes a...
