The Perfect Foil : Francois-Andre Vincent and the Revolution in French Painting
ISBN: 9780816675807 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Art history is haunted by the foil: the dark star whose diminished luster sets off another's brilliance. Relegated to this role by modern historians of Revolutionary-era French art, Francois-Andre Vincent (1746-1816) is chiefly viewed in the reflection of his contemporary, Jacques-Louis David. The Perfect Foil frees Vincent from this distorting mirror. Offering a nuanced and historically accurate account of Vincent's life and work, Elizabeth C. Mansfield reveals the artist's profound influence on the visual culture of the French Revolution--and, paradoxically, on the art historical...

Too Beautiful to Picture: Zeuxis, Myth, and Mimesis
ISBN: 9780816647491 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Few tales of artistic triumph can rival the story of Zeuxis. As first reported by Cicero and Pliny, the painter Zeuxis set out to portray Helen of Troy, but when he realized that a single model could not match Helen's beauty, he combined the best features of five different models. A primer on mimesis in art making, the Zeuxis myth also illustrates ambivalence about the ability to rely on nature as a model for ideal form.In Too Beautiful to Picture, Elizabeth C. Mansfield engages the visual arts, literature, and performance to examine the desire to make the ideal visible. She finds in the...

Seeing Satire in the Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9780729410632 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A moment in history when verbal satire, caricature, and comic performance exerted unprecedented influence on society, the Enlightenment sustained a complex, though now practically invisible, culture of visual humor. In Seeing satire in the eighteenth century contributors recapture the unique energy of comic images in the works of key artists and authors whose satirical intentions have been obscured by time. From a decoding of Charles-Germain de Saint-Aubin’s Livre de caricatures as a titillating jibe at royal and courtly figures, a reinterpretation of the man’s muff as an emblem of...

The Trespasser
ISBN: 9780521294249 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. D. H. Lawrence's second novel The Trespasser is based on the tragic love affair of his friend Helen Corke and her violin teacher. After reading Miss Corke's diary, Lawrence first urged her to write her story and then received her permission to do it himself. Between his rapid composition of the first draft in the spring and summer of 1910 and his final revisions in early 1912, Lawrence's view of Helen Corke, and consequently of her story, changed. The manuscript survives, and this edition presents the text for the first time as Lawrence wrote it, restoring his sentence-structure and...

A Practical Guide to the Invariant Calculus
ISBN: 9780521857017 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explains recent results in the theory of moving frames that concern the symbolic manipulation of invariants of Lie group actions. In particular, theorems concerning the calculation of generators of algebras of differential invariants, and the relations they satisfy, are discussed in detail. The author demonstrates how new ideas lead to significant progress in two main applications: the solution of invariant ordinary differential equations and the structure of Euler-Lagrange equations and conservation laws of variational problems. The expository language used here is primarily that...
