Sylvia Plath's Lyrical Responses to Works of Art
ISBN: 9783639034646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No doubt, people who have an artistic bent often realize their full creative potential in more than one field of the arts. Musicians are not only musicians, painters are not only painters and poets are not just poets. Throughout her short life, Sylvia Plath was similarly interested in a variety of pursuits, including drawing, for which she had a quite remarkable gift. This book attempts to trace her development as both poet and artist through a close examination of her letters, journal entries, and last but not least poems related to art. Indeed, if, through a painting, an artist such as...

Imagining and Inventing Shanghai
ISBN: 9783639055191 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As early as the 1850s, the advent of Western printing technology and the growth of a local leisure market gave rise to a commercial print industry in Shanghai. An interesting phenomenon was that, the Shanghai courtesan depicted in urban settings made up one of the core components of the representations of Shanghai in the entertainment press. This book provides an in-depth analysis on the representational modes and strategies of the Shanghai courtesan illustrations in the 19th-century entertainment press. Reading courtesan images from a wide range of printed artifacts, the author analyzes an...

Portraiture and Politics in New York City, 1790-1825
ISBN: 9783639089097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Four prominent portraitists were active in New York City between 1790 and 1825. Despite working in the same location, these artists had different training, developed distinct aesthetics, and often worked for distinct groups of patrons. Gilbert Stuart returned to the United States in 1793 and established himself as the preeminent portraitist in New York City. This coincided with a moment of political harmony in the United States. John Vanderlyn received most of his training in Paris in the studio of a prominent French neoclassicist. When Vanderlyn re-turned to New York City,...

Surimono in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
ISBN: 9789074822404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Surimono (literally 'printed things') constitute one of the most delicate genres in Japanese printmaking. This genre fascinates because it combines poetry and image and because it presents a pictorial puzzle, which provides the viewer with a particular insight into the intellectual and literary world of late 18th- and early 19th-century Edo (today's Tokyo). Major artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kunisada, Totoya Hokkei and Yashima Gakutei, to name but a few, provided imagery to accompany the poetic exploits of poetry club members. The prints were circulated among networks of...

Berlin Alexanderplatz: Radio, Film, and the Death of Weimar Culturevolume 37
ISBN: 9780520259973 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This fascinating exploration of a work that was the epitome of German literary modernism illuminates in chilling detail the death of the Weimar Republic's left-leaning culture of innovation and experimentation. Peter Jelavich examines Alfred Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929), a novel that questioned the autonomy and coherence of the human personality in the modern metropolis, and traces the radical discrepancies that came with its adaptation into a radio play (1930) and a film (1931). Jelavich explains these discrepancies by examining not only the varying demands of genre and...

The Significance of Diaspora Politics in the Visual Arts
ISBN: 9783639089646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The author's own awareness of having a diasporic identity was brought about by my having lived through two historical junctures of heightened racism in my home countries of Britain and Australia. As a consequence, this book presents material that relates to historical moments relevant to the author s lived experience: Powellism (the far-right British politician Enoch Powell s intervention in 1968 in the field of race relations) and Hansonism (the racialised terrain of Australia, and Queensland in particular, that surfaced following the creation of Pauline Hanson s One Nation party from the...

Rewriting the Canon of Visual Arts in Communist Romania
ISBN: 9783639102383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The closer the past is, the less penetrable it becomes for the historian. The scholar's task is to recollect possible surviving data and to make them intelligible. This book explores some of the most important "existential programs" of the artists who lived in communist Romania. My main attempt in this study is to correct the canon of visual arts of the communist period by including some neglected "unofficial" artists in. I hope that the great majority of artists who have been at history's margins will be acknowledged and remembered, and I also hope that this rehabilitation will create a...

David Cope's fifth book, Silences for Love, is framed in elegies, prophet Martin King to old friend Allen Ginsberg, opening with lights fading & flaring over Lake Superior, closing with one leaf in the hidden meadow.

Coming Home
ISBN: 9780896032637 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. David Cope's fourth collection, Coming Home, binds together the two major strands of his life and art. In poem after poem, Cope is by turn the clear-eyed strider of our broken cities, or the profoundly lyrical explorer of nature, of redemptive human intimacy in all its silence and nakedness. And often there is an extraordinary synthesis, as in:
The Abandoned City if we sit long enough, will our love grow wise? the roman mottos tumble from facades & crash. where statesmen argued the language of law, cedars split paving stones & broken pillars crumble. atop the...

Quiet Lives
ISBN: 9780896030480 / Angielski / Twarda / 1983 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. I have been much absorbed in David Cope's poetry as necessary continuation of tradition of lucid grounded sane objectivism in poetry following the visually solid practice of Charles Reznikoff & William Carlos Williams. Though the notions of 'objectivism' were common for many decades among U. S. poets, there is not a great body of direct-sighted "close to the nose" examples of poems that hit a certain ideal objectivist mark-"No ideas but in things" consisting of "minute particulars" in which "the natural object is always the adequate symbol," works of language wherein "the mind is clamped down...
