"There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into; one wishes there were a pocket edition to take on an Italian vacation-not only for its information and vision but for such pleasant reminders as that the citizens of Treviso carried Tullio Lombardo's friezes through the town in triumph before they were attached to a building."-D. J. R. Bruckner, "New York Times Book Review"

Bernini: Flights of Love, the Art of Devotion
ISBN: 9780226092737 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nowhere is evidence of Bernini's unique abillity to unite architecture with sculpture and painting into a beautiful whole more compelling than in the Baroque chapel of Bernini's design: a dark world sealed below by a balustrade, covered by a luminous celestial dome, and populated by bodies of paint, marble, stucco, and flesh. This book explores three of these Baroque chapels to show how Bernini achieved his remarkable effects. Giovanni Careri examines the ways in which the artist integrated the disparate forms of architecture, painting, and sculpture into a coherent space for devotion, and...

The photographer and reformer Jacob Riis once wrote, I have seen an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a policeman and his club. Riis was not alone in his belief that beauty could tame urban chaos, but are aesthetic experiences always a social good? Could aesthetics also inspire violent crime, working-class unrest, and racial murder? To answer these questions, Russ Castronovo turns to those who debated claims that art could democratize culture civic reformers, anarchists, novelists, civil rights activists, and college professors to reveal that beauty provides unexpected...

The Robie House of Frank Lloyd Wright
ISBN: 9780226115429 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Robie House in Chicago is one of the world's most famous houses, a masterpiece from the end of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period and a classic example of the Prairie House. This book is intended as a companion for the visitor to the house, but it also probes beneath the surface to see how the design took shape in the mind of the architect. Wright's own writings, rare working drawings from the period, and previously unpublished photographs of the house in construction help the reader look over the shoulder of the architect at work. Beautiful new photographs of the Robie House and related...

Toward a Geography of Art
ISBN: 9780226133119 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Art history traditionally classifics works of art by country as well as period, but often political borders and cultural boundaries are highly complex and fluid. Questions of identity, policy, and exchange make it difficult to determine the place of art, and often the art itself results from these conflicts of geography and culture. Addressing an important approach to art history, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann's book offers essays that focus on the intricacies of accounting for the geographical dimension of art history during the early modern period in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Toward a...

The Judgment of Paris
ISBN: 9780226135120 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Drawing on Freudian theories of sexuality and Kant's conception of the beautiful, French art historian Hubert Damisch considers artists as diverse as Raphael, Picasso, Watteau, and Manet to demonstrate that beauty has always been connected to ideas of sexual difference and pleasure. Damisch's tale begins with the judgment of Paris, in which Paris awards Venus the golden apple and thus forever links beauty with desire. The casting of this decision as a mistake-in which desire is rewarded over wisdom and strength-is then linked to theories of the unconscious and psychological drives. In his...

The Visible Word: Experimental Typography and Modern Art, 1909-1923
ISBN: 9780226165028 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Early in this century, Futurist and Dada artists developed brilliantly innovative uses of typography that blurred the boundaries between visual art and literature. In The Visible Word, Johanna Drucker shows how later art criticism has distorted our understanding of such works. She argues that Futurist, Dadaist, and Cubist artists emphasized materiality as the heart of their experimental approach to both visual and poetic forms of representation; by mid-century, however, the tenets of New Criticism and High Modernism had polarized the visual and the literary.

Sweet Dreams: Contemporary Art and Complicity
ISBN: 9780226165059 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Johanna Drucker's "sweet dream" is for a new and more positive approach to contemporary art. Calling for a revamping of the academic critical vocabulary used to discuss art into one more befitting current creative practices, Drucker argues that contemporary art is fully engaged with material culture yet still struggling to escape the oppositional legacy of the early twentieth-century avant-garde.
Drucker shows that artists today are aware of working within the ideologies of mainstream culture and have replaced avant-garde defiance with eager complicity. Finding their materials at flea...

ISBN: 9780226220840 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard A. Etlin explores the social and cultural hierarchies established in eighteenth-century France to illustrate how the conceptual basis of the modern house and the physical layout of the modern city emerged from debates among theoretically innovative French architects of the eighteenth-century.

Architecture for the Poor: An Experiment in Rural Egypt
ISBN: 9780226239163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'Architecture for the Poor' describes Hassan Fathy's plan for building the village of New Gourna, near Luxor, Egypt, without the use of more modern and expensive materials such as steel and concrete. Using mud bricks, the native technique that Fathy learned in Nubia, and such traditional Egyptian architectural designs as enclosed courtyards and vaulted roofing, Fathy worked with the villagers to tailor his designs to their needs. He taught them how to work with the bricks, supervised the erection of the buildings, and encouraged the revival of such ancient crafts as claustra (lattice designs...

A Guide to Mexican Art: From Its Beginnings to the Present
ISBN: 9780226244211 / Angielski / Miękka / 1969 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "A Guide to Mexican Art," a survey of more than twenty centuries of art, has a double purpose. It provides an ample version of one of the great national arts by a leading art historian, and it serves simultaneously as a practical guide to the art's outstanding masterpieces. The "Guide" will thus be of value to specialists and students of Latin American art and to sightseers as an introduction and guide to the art and architecture of Mexico. To facilitate its use for the latter purpose, Professor Fernandez has based his exposition on the sensitive analysis of works to be found almost exclusive...

ISBN: 9780226249513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Henry Darger's elaborate paintings of young girls caught in a vicious war to the sacred art of the Reverend Howard Finster, the work of outsider artists has achieved unique status in the art world. Celebrated for their lack of traditional training and their position on the fringes of society, outsider artists nonetheless participate in a traditional network of value, status, and money. After spending years immersed in the world of self-taught artists, Gary Alan Fine presents "Everyday Genius," one of the most insightful and comprehensive examinations of this network and how it confers...

The Construction of Gothic Cathedrals: A Study of Medieval Vault Erection
ISBN: 9780226252032 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Fitchen systematically treats the process of erecting the great edifices of the Gothic era. He explains the building equipment and falsework needed, the actual operations undertaken, and the sequence of these operations as specifically as they can be deduced today. Since there are no contemporary accounts of the techniques used by medieval builders, Fitchen's study brilliantly pieces together clues from manuscript illuminations, from pictorial representations, and from the fabrics of the building themselves. "Anyone who has caught the fascination of Gothic Churches (and once caught,...
