For Professional Purposes: an artistic journey
ISBN: 9781460903483 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. By age four-and-a-half, Shirley "Sorahlah" Barasch shows artistic gifts: writing 'pomes' before she can spell or pronounce the words; playing the 'pyeano' by ear-her "parlor trick" according to her father. But suddenly tragedy strikes Thrown into a strict religious social order not ready for a woman-let alone a young girl-to be independent and creative, Sorahlah adapts on the fly. She re-orders her daily routine squeezing in piano lessons, writing music, and poetry-often on the sly by flashlight under the covers-in order to achieve her dream. Shirley invites the reader on a visual and...

Modern Theories of Art 1: From Winckelmann to Baudelaire
ISBN: 9780814711767 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is an analytical survey of the thought about painting and sculpture as it unfolded from the early eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. This was the period during which theories of the visual arts, particularly of painting and sculpture, underwent a radical transformation, as a result of which the intellectual foundations of our modern views on the arts were formed. Because this transformation can only be understood when seen in a broad context of cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical developments of the period, Moshe Barasch surveys the opinions of the artists, and also treats in...

The Language of Art: Studies in Interpretation
ISBN: 9780814712559 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Moshe Barasch, an authority on art theory, tackles the complex question of how art works as language. Barasch shows how, once an art work is seen and understood, a new, communicative function is effectively added to the work. In an engaging style Barasch moves from the art and civilization of Ancient Egypt to that of modern Europe, and effortlessly shows a full and surprising range of language in art--from the magical to the impious, from the ambiguous to the didactic, from the scientific to the propagandistic. Barasch contemplates a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, mural,... Moshe Barasch, an authority on art theory, tackles the complex question of how art works as language.

Daumier and Exoticism: Satirizing the French and the Foreign
ISBN: 9780820469454 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Best known as a satirist of Parisian politics and daily life, Honore Daumier (1808-1879) was a prolific caricaturist. This book is the first to examine the role of exoticism in his art, and to offer a detailed history of the journal Le Charivari in which the lithographs appeared. These satires of China, Haiti, the United States, Africa, and the Middle East not only target the theater of international politics, but also draw on a broad range of physical stereotypes supported by contemporary ideas about race and cultural difference. In an art of comic inversion, Daumier used the exotic...

Pictorial Narrative in the Romanesque Cloister: Cloister Imagery and Religious Life in Medieval Spain
ISBN: 9780820472683 / Twarda / 2004 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Praised as paradisiacal or denounced as impious fantasy, the sculpture of Romanesque cloisters played a powerful role in medieval monastic life. This book demonstrates how sculpture in the cloister, the physical and spiritual heart of the religious foundation, could be shrewdly configured to articulate the most influential ideals and experiences of its individual community. Taking as its focus the visually rich, highly organized narrative programs of three twelfth-century Spanish cloisters, this book reveals the power of such imagery to reflect and reinforce the social and spiritual...

Icon: Studies in the History of an Idea
ISBN: 9780814712146 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the centuries, European debate about the nature and status of images of God and sacred figures has often upset the established order and shaken societies to their core. Out of this debate, an identifiable doctrine has emerged of the image in general and of the divine image in particular. This fascinating work concentrates on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the great and classic defenses of images by St. John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion. Icon extends beyond the immediate concerns of religion, philosophy, aesthetics, history, and art, to...
