Gender and the Written Word in Recent Art
ISBN: 9783639135039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Words began to be used extensively by artists in the 1960s. The Conceptual artists used words to critique language as well as what one sees. As the Conceptual art practitioners moved on in the 1970s, a new use of language emerged in art. When examining the use of text as or in art from the 1970s through to the early 21st century, the gender of the artist appears to play a role in the intention and application of the text. While male artists continue to focus on language itself - continuing in the methods of the Conceptualists, and many of them the original Conceptualists - women artists are...

The Poetics of Black
ISBN: 9783639132717 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Edouard Manet's "Masked Ball at the Opera" (1873) shares formal and thematic relationships with Charles Baudelaire's poetry and art criticism. Although previous studies reveal visual sources for Manet's painting, here we reveal that Baudelaire's poetry was the textual paradigm for Manet's "Masked Ball." Women are studied alongside Baudelaire's poems and his essay "The Painter of Modern Life." Also examined are the ways in which Haussmannization presented new problems and opportunities for the artist-as-flaneur. Baudelaire's poem "The Crowds" corresponds to Manet's painting in that both use...

The Physiognomy of a Renaissance Ruler Portraits and Descriptions of Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary (1458-1490)
ISBN: 9783639107913 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

The analysis of Antique theories of physiognomy have contributed to a more exact interpretation of Matthias portraits, while the physiognomical comparison has resulted a more shaded picture about his image and iconography, even in the case of the Attila-type...

Unlike much earlier scholarship that has focused on stylistic analysis or on interpretations of the work s eternal truth, these essays contextualize aspects of Beckmann s early, middle, and late career by way of detailed...

The World Created in the Image of Man; The Conflict between Pictorial Form and Space in Defiance of the Law of Temporality
ISBN: 9781433107795 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The World Created in the Image of Man investigates the development of the third dimension in painting from the dramatic moment when spatial construction becomes charged with an external force antagonistic to the effort of forms, or human figures, to preserve their permanence. The competitive contact between the external and internal worlds represented in the picture brings a vital element to the unfolding of art as it occurs in both the West and the East. As the analysis of masterpieces from different historical periods and cultures demonstrates here, this vital impulse becomes a...

Drawing with Light: The Pencil of Nature
