Picturing Extraterrestrials: Alien Image
ISBN: 9781573929905 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this witty, erudite, and thoroughly researched book, art historian John Moffitt discusses the popular iconography depicting alleged extraterrestrial (ET) visitors and the widespread appeal of this New Age craze as a mass cultural phenomenon. A thorough skeptic, Moffitt is interested in kitschy ET portraiture, not as evidence of aliens among us, but for what this imagery reveals about contemporary culture. By brilliantly placing the present cultural moment in historical context, he demonstrates how typical portrayals of aliens reflect long-running (even ancient) cultural motifs.

Caravaggio in Context: Learned Naturalism and Renaissance Humanism
ISBN: 9780786419593 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Italian painter Caravaggio was recognized by his contemporaries as a dedicated practitioner of il naturalismo and a learned painter. His use of the chiaroscuro technique was skilled and his subject matter, still lifes and genre paintings, was unique. Through detailed analysis of works from Caravaggio's early Roman period, 1594-1602, this study places his art in a humanistic context, making it an expression of learned naturalism, a procedure committed to a close study of the phenomenal world and corresponding to contemporary ventures into empirical science. The work grounds Caravaggio's...

Painterly Perspective and Piety: Religious Uses of the Vanishing Point, from the 15th to the 18th Century
ISBN: 9780786435050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While the Renaissance is generally perceived to be a secular movement, the majority of large artworks executed in 15th century Italy were from ecclesiastical commissions. Because of the nature of primarily basilica-plan churches, a parishioner's view was directed by the diminishing parallel lines formed by the walls of the structure. Appearing to converge upon a mutual point, this resulted in an artistic phenomenon known as the vanishing point. As applied to ecclesiastical artwork, the Catholic Vanishing Point (CVP) was deliberately situated upon or aligned with a given object - such as the...

Our Lady of Guadalupe: The Painting, the Legend and the Reality
ISBN: 9780786426676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. According to legend, on December 8, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to the newly Christianized Juan Diego on the Mexican hill of Tepeyacac. As proof of her divine visit, she miraculously imprinted her image upon his mantle. That image, known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, has become a symbol of national consciousness in Mexico and a talisman for Mexican Americans. Yet its notable features include obviously European artistic techniques. How is it that Renaissance styles are employed in a 16th century Mexican icon supposedly not made by human hands? Looking beyond the divine explanation for...

Inspiration: Bacchus and the Cultural History of a Creation Myth
ISBN: 9789004142794 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to reveal the antique pedigree of a now commonplace term, "Inspiration," an essential creation-myth now propelling notions of "self-expression" in modern art-making. Knowledge of the ancient sources of such supposedly "modernist" fixations will make a significant contribution to historical-cultural thinking, particularly by showing in detail the facts of an unrecognized evolutionary continuity. In order to personify "Inspiration," this study initially focuses upon Michelangelo's Bacchus of 1496, so revealing now-forgotten meanings once typically to be attached in a...
