Ordinary Images
ISBN: 9780226000442 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This richly illustrated book explores the large body of sculpture, paintings, and other religious imagery produced for China's common classes from the third to the sixth centuries C.E. In contrast to the works made for imperial patrons, illustrious monastics, or other luminaries, these ordinary images-modest in scale, mass produced, and at times incomplete-were created for those of lesser standing. Because they cannot be related to well-known historical figures or social groups, these images have been considered a largely nebulous, undistinguished mass of works.

In When Buildings Speak, Anthony Alofsin explores the rich yet often overlooked architecture of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire and its successor states.

The Art of Describing: Dutch Art in the Seventeenth Century
ISBN: 9780226015132 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The art historian after Erwin Panofsky and Ernst Gombrich is not only participating in an activity of great intellectual excitement; he is raising and exploring issues which lie very much at the centre of psychology, of the sciences and of history itself. Svetlana Alpers's study of 17th-century Dutch painting is a splendid example of this excitement and of the centrality of art history among current disciples. Professor Alpers puts forward a vividly argued thesis. There is, she says, a truly fundamental dichotomy between the art of the Italian Renaissance and that of the Dutch masters. . . ....

A passionate and original work of scholarship.--Richard Wollheim, Times Literary Supplement With the publication of Rembrandt's Enterprise], Svetlana Alpers has firmly established herself in the front ranks of art historians at work today. . . . The book is not a long one. Yet, there is more perceptive scholarship packed into its four chapters than is typically found in a whole shelf of the more common outpourings of academic writers.

Art in Mind: How Contemporary Images Shape Thought
ISBN: 9780226015293 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Art has the power to affect our thinking, changing not only the way we view and interact with the world but also how we create it. In "Art in Mind," Ernst van Alphen probes this idea of art as a commanding force with the capacity to shape our intellect and intervene in our lives. Rather than interpreting art as merely a reflection of our social experience or a product of history, van Alphen here argues that art is a historical agent, or a cultural creator, that propels thought and experience forward.
Examining a broad range of works, van Alphen a renowned art historian and cultural... Art has the power to affect our thinking, changing not only the way we view and interact with the world but also how we create it. In "Art in Mind," E...

The Artemisia Files: Artemisia Gentileschi for Feminists and Other Thinking People
ISBN: 9780226035826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the first female artists to achieve recognition in her own time, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) became instantly popular in the 1970s when feminist art historians "discovered" her and argued vehemently for a place for her in the canon of Italian baroque painters. Featured alongside her father, Orazio Gentileschi, in a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Artemisia has continued to stir interest though her position in the canon remains precarious, in part because her sensationalized life history has overshadowed her art.
In "The Artemisia Files," Mieke Bal and her... One of the first female artists to achieve recognition in her own time, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) became instantly popular in the 1970s when f...
