No Strangers to Beauty - Black Women Artists and the Hottentot Venus
ISBN: 9783639044768 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Saartje Baartman (c.1788-1815/16) was a black South African woman who became known as the Hottentot Venus when she was exhibited in London and Paris because of her protruding buttocks. This book examines two very different types of representations of Baartman. The first chapter looks critically at images that were produced during Baartmans lifetime, focusing primarily on cartoons and ethnographic drawings. The representational strategies used in these images are compared to those used in eighteenth-century representations of female slaves. In later chapters the author discusses the...

Collecting the Self
ISBN: 9783639061147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is the relationship between the body and the self? How are we to represent a self that is identified by and yet no longer seems bounded by the "body envelope"? This study traces the evolution of notions of the self in art practice and looks at recent attempts to picture a new kind of body/self: a self that is multiple, a locus or meeting place of desires, beliefs, language forms and histories. This self is extended by technology, which dissolves boundaries of scale, of inside and outside. What is proposed is a body/self that is always in parts and always in process, continually...

Sylvia Plath's Lyrical Responses to Works of Art
ISBN: 9783639034646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

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.

Reading courtesan images from a wide range of printed artifacts, the author analyzes an...

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,...

ISBN: 9789074822404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Surimono (literally 'printed things') constitute one of the most delicate genres in Japanese printmaking.

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. 13-18 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...

ISBN: 9783639089646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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.
