American Artists On Art : From 1940 To 1980
ISBN: 9780064301121 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. From the Preface: The fact that so much of modern art has devoted itself to the exploration and assertion of its own identity is reflected in, but does not explain, the increasing amount of writing and talking on the part of contemporary artists. Rather, the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic, industrial, and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for them--even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us, or at least...

Second, the contributors' work has not been either widely disseminated or readily available. Third, the essays, especially... From the Preface:

ISBN: 9780192801609 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What do we mean when we call a work of art "beautiful"?

Elizabeth Prettejohn argues that we simply cannot afford to ignore these questions.

Homemade Esthetics: Observations on Art and Taste
ISBN: 9780195139235 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A giant of 20th century art criticism, Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) set the terms of critical discourse from the moment he burst onto the scene with his seminal essays "Avant-Garde and Kitsch" (1939) and "Towards a Newer Laocoon" (1940). In this work, which gathers previously uncollected essays and a series of seminars delivered at Bennington College in 1971, Greenberg provides his most expansive statement of his views on taste and quality in art. He insists that despite the attempts of modern artists to escape the jurisdiction of taste by producing an art so disjunctive that it cannot be...

What Good Are the Arts?
ISBN: 9780195305548 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hailed as "exhilarating and suggestive" (Spectator), "thought-provoking and entertaining" (David Lodge, Sunday Times), and "incisive and inspirational" (Guardian), What Good are the Arts? offers a delightfully skeptical look at the nature of art. John Carey--one of Britain's most respected literary critics--here cuts through the cant surrounding the fine arts, debunking claims that the arts make us better people or that judgments about art are anything more than personal opinion. But Carey does argue strongly for the value of art as an activity and for the superiority of one art in...

Bal argues that art must be ubderstood in relationship to the present time of viewing as opposed to veiwing in light of preceding events, such as the historical past of influences and art movement. Bal demonstrates that the closer the engagement with the work...

The Rhetoric of Perspective : Realism and Illusionism in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Still-Life Painting
ISBN: 9780226309682 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears to be real by the way these objects are rendered. Likewise, the trick of perspective can prevent us from being absorbed in a scene. Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, "The Rhetoric of Perspective" puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image.
Aided by a stunning full-color gallery, Hanneke Grootenboer... Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears ...
