The De-Definition of Art
ISBN: 9780226726731 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Like the great German critic Walter Benjamin, Rosenberg is a master of dialectics whose sense of art is continuous with his sense of society, and (also like Benjamin) bears no taint of compromised, out-of-work radicalism. Instead, his radicalism is very much at work, enabling him to spot and skewer fallacies, false logic and the camouflaged nudity that is a large part of the art emperor's new wardrobe. The De-definition of Art] detects with great sensitivity the forces that are deflecting and pressuring art in the direction of esthetic and moral nullity." Jack Kroll, Newsweek

ISBN: 9780226752884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Cezanne and the End of Impressionism: A Study of the Theory, Technique, and Critical Evaluation of Modern Art
ISBN: 9780226753065 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Drawing on a broad foundation in the history of nineteenth-century French art, Richard Shiff offers an innovative interpretation of Cezanne's painting. He shows how Cezanne's style met the emerging criteria of a "technique of originality" and how it satisfied critics sympathetic to symbolism as well as to impressionism. Expanding his study of the interaction of Cezanne and his critics, Shiff considers the problem of modern art in general. He locates the core of modernism in a dialectic of making (technique) and finding (originality). Ultimately, Shiff provides not only clarifying accounts of...

ISBN: 9780226753430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

This carefully prepared and--given the extent and complexity of what he's discussing--admirably concise, well-organized book is the result. . . . Shiner's text is scholarly...

The Sexuality of Christ in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion
ISBN: 9780226771878 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1983, Leo Steinberg's classic work has changed the viewing habits of a generation. After centuries of repression and censorship, the sexual component in thousands of revered icons of Christ is restored to visibility. Steinberg's evidence resides in the imagery of the overtly sexed Christ, in Infancy and again after death. Steinberg argues that the artists regarded the deliberate exposure of Christ's genitalia as an affirmation of kinship with the human condition. Christ's lifelong virginity, understood as potency under check, and the first offer of blood in the...
