Memory & Oblivion: Proceedings of the Xxixth International Congress of the History of Art Held in Amsterdam, 1-7 September 1996
ISBN: 9789401057714 / Angielski / Miękka / 1114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Memory is a subject that recently has attracted many scholars and readers not only in the general historical sciences, but also in the special field of art history. However, in this book, in which more than 130 papers given at the XXIXth International Congress of the History of Art (Amsterdam) 1996 have been compiled, Memory is also juxtaposed to its counterpart, Oblivion, thus generating extra excitement in the exchange of ideas. The papers are presented in eleven sections, each of which is devoted to a different aspect of memory and oblivion, ranging from purely...

Point and Line to Plane
ISBN: 9781614275466 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 2013 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this title Kandinsky analyzed the geometrical elements which make up every painting-the point and the line. He called the physical support and the material surface on which the artist draws or paints the basic plane, or BP. He did not analyze them objectively, but from the point of view of their inner effect on the observer. A point is a small bit of color put by the artist on the canvas. It is neither a geometric point nor a mathematical abstraction; it is extension,...

The Futurist Cookbook
ISBN: 9780141391649 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's Futurist Cookbook is a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. Marinetti also sets out his argument for abolishing pasta as ill-suited to modernity, and advocates a style of cuisine that will increase creativity. Although at times betraying its author's nationalistic sympathies, The Futurist Cookbook is funny, provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the...

What Art Is
ISBN: 9780300205718 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is it to be a work of art? Renowned author and critic Arthur C. Danto addresses this fundamental, complex question. Part philosophical monograph and part memoiristic meditation, What Art Is challenges the popular interpretation that art is an indefinable concept, instead bringing to light the properties that constitute universal meaning. Danto argues that despite varied approaches, a work of art is always defined by two essential criteria: meaning and embodiment, as well as one additional criterion contributed by the viewer: interpretation. Danto crafts his argument in an... What is it to be a work of art? Renowned author and critic Arthur C. Danto addresses this fundamental, complex question. Part philosophical monogra... |

The Artist Meets the Critic
ISBN: 9781492937159 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The artist, Leila Daw, and the critic, Robert E. Kohn, discover some mutually binding interests. In her artworks, ostensibly exploring the concepts of mapping, Kohn recognizes the brightly colored dots, zigzags, grids, sets of parallel lines, and nested curves that pulsate in the Paleolithic cave paintings, suggesting that her art-enabling genes carry the memory of those geometric forms from tens of thousands of years ago. She had not been aware of this influence on her work and excitedly wonders "if this is why I'm so interested in ancient sites and paleolithic and neolithic art." When Kohn...

ISBN: 9780991109296 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dreamscapes of Los Angeles is a compilation of writing from the Los Angeles art blog, Notes on Looking, which was founded in 2009 by artist and writer Geoff Tuck, and which over the years has published writing and image posts by Tuck and more than thirty other Los Angeles artists.

Schuffenecker's Sunflowers: And Other van Gogh Forgeries
ISBN: 9781494939274 / Angielski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Schuffenecker? An artist hardly anyone has heard of. And yet he painted some of the most celebrated and expensive "van Goghs" ever sold. Most of his fakes are still considered genuine paintings by the great Vincent van Gogh. Such icons as the Sunflowers, sold by Christie's for a world record price in 1987, the Arlesienne in New York's Met, and the much admired "self-portrait" showing the artist with bandaged ear and pipe are, in fact, the handiwork of Emile Schuffenecker (1851 - 1934). In Schuffenecker's Sunflowers Benoit Landais and Hanspeter Born explain how a man of modest talent...

In 2008, anthropologist Matti Bunzl was given rare access to observe the curatorial department of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art.

ISBN: 9780230347885 / Angielski / Twarda / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A comprehensive, critical and accessible account of Theodor W. Adorno's materialist-dialectical aesthetic theory of art from a contemporary perspective, this volume shows how Adorno's critical theory is awash with images crystallising thoughts to such a degree that it has every reason to be described as aesthetic.

Parody and Pastiche in Bill Kohn's Udaipur Tinsmiths
ISBN: 9781495480508 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bill Kohn's painting Udaipur Tinsmiths contrasts his own aesthetic preferences with that of his adversary Clement Greenberg by exaggerating their differences with parody and pastiche. This is a typical Postmodern approach for repudiating claims, like Greenberg's, of narrow rules Modernist artists must follow to ensure the legitimacy of their work. In the case of Abstract Expressionism and Post Painterly Abstraction, based on Robert E. Kohn's reading of Andreas Huyssen, Postmodernism failed. Though it was justified in rejecting Modernism, "such rejection," Huyssen argued (page 49), affects...

Constructivism
ISBN: 9788493923129 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published in 1922 in Russian, Aleksei Gan's "Constructivism "was the first theoretical treatise of postrevolutionary Russia's emergent Constructivist movement. Fired with revolutionary zeal, it was unquestionably a declaration of war on traditional bourgeois art.
"Constructivism" recasts artists and architects as Constructors, turning away from aesthetic or speculative problems in art and instead focusing on the fusion of art with everyday life in order to create a functional system of design, one in keeping with the great task of building the new communist society. This edition... Published in 1922 in Russian, Aleksei Gan's "Constructivism "was the first theoretical treatise of postrevolutionary Russia's emergent Constructivist ...
