ISBN: 9780520241008 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This beautifully written study looks at the haunting, melancholy horror films Val Lewton made between 1942 and 1946 and finds them to be powerful commentaries on the American home front during World War II.

Experience, 4
ISBN: 9780932171634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his noteworthy theoretical essay "Experience," Ralph Waldo Emerson writes that humans by nature cannot fully grasp life as lived. If this is so, how capable are we of expressing our experiences in works of art? Despite this formidable challenge, for the past thirty years, scholarship in American art has assumed that works of art are coded and has analyzed them accordingly, often with constructive results. The fourth volume in the Terra Foundation Essays series, Experience considers the possibility of immediacy, or the idea that we can directly relate to the past by way of an...

The Body of Raphaelle Peale: Still Life and Selfhood, 1812-1824
ISBN: 9780520224988 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The American painter Raphaelle Peale (1774-1825) left a legacy of vibrantly beautiful still lifes depicting objects such as fruit, vegetables, and meat. In this lively and literate study, the first book-length exploration of the artist, Alexander Nemerov presents a radical new reading of these paintings focusing on the uncanny quality of Raphaelle's still-life objects. Nemerov argues that the physical presence of these objects is not strictly their own but that of the artist's body. This imagery of embodiment, Nemerov argues, relates deeply to Raphaelle's own time.
