The Path Toward Beauty
ISBN: 9780982967850 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a path toward beauty, just as there is a path toward that which transcends human beings, and there can be no beauty outside that path.
In The Path Toward Beauty, Prof. Francesca Weinmann takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the relationship between art and beauty, while astutely displacing our commonly held ideas about genius, originality, and imagination-and above all the concept of beauty as it relates to taste. This journey is truly universal since it includes art objects from pre-history to the present day, and is accompanied by a thoughtful study of significant... There is a path toward beauty, just as there is a path toward that which transcends human beings, and there can be no beauty outside that path. |

The Fairy Fellerâ (Tm)S Master-Stroke
ISBN: 9781443841238 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Dadd is a trickster, a pre-post-modern enigma wrapped in a Shakespearean Midsummer Night's Dream; an Elizabethan Puck living in a smothering Victorian insane asylum, foreshadowing and, in brilliant, Mad Hatter conundrums, entering the fragmented shards of today's nightmarish oxymorons long before the artists currently trying to give them the joker's ephemeral maps of discourse. The author thinks of Bob Dylan's Ballad of a Thin Man, that cryptic refusal to reduce the warped mirrors of reality to prosaic lies, or, perhaps All Along the Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man. Even more than...

The Life and Afterlives of Hanabusa Itchō, Artist-Rebel of EDO
ISBN: 9789004202856 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Miriam Wattles recounts the making of Hanabusa Itchō (1652-1724), painter, haikai-poet, singer-songwriter, and artist subversive, in The Life and Afterlives of Hanabusa Itchō, Artist-Rebel of Edo. Translating literary motifs visually to encapsulate the tensions of his time, many of Itchō's original works became models emulated by ukiyo-e and other artists. A wide array of sources reveals a lifetime of multiple personas and positions that are the source of his multifarious artistic reincarnations. While, on the one hand, his legend as seditious exile appears in the...

Das Lieblingsbild Der Venezianer: "christus Und Die Ehebrecherin" in Kirche, Kunst Und Staat Des 16. Jahrhunderts
ISBN: 9783050050829 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bereits Jacob Burckhardt bezeichnete Christus und die Ehebrecherin als das "venezianische Lieblingssujet." Er blieb uns jedoch eine Antwort auf die Frage schuldig, woher im 16. Jahrhundert die Neigung der Venezianer fur das Thema stammte. Heute sind rund sechzig Gemalde der Adultera aus der Seerepublik erhalten, die auf die groe Fulle der dortigen Bildproduktion hinweisen, wahrend uns zur selben Zeit im ubrigen Italien das Motiv so gut wie nicht begegnet. Die vorliegende Untersuchung widmet sich diesem Kuriosum und legt unterschiedlichste Grunde dar, weshalb das Sujet in der Serenissima so...

ISBN: 9781846318481 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a richly detailed exploration of the complex and cosmopolitan urban culture inhabited by the Presbyterian elite of late-Georgian Belfast, which will prove to be of interest to a wide range of scholars working on the political, cultural and intellectual histories of both Ireland and Britain during the age of reform.

Cosmic Crisis and Creation: The Search for Meaning
ISBN: 9781468503418 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents and analyses two basic assertions Life in the 21st century is threatened by an unprecedented global crisis, which is the result of the exponential increase in the impact of human activity on the earth. Properly understood, the Christian concept of Creation and of human relationships based on God's Covenant, offer the clearest light on the meaning and nature of, and effective response to, the crisis, and the most realistic Hope for the future. It owes much to James Lovelock, the originator of the concept of Gaia - the earth seen as a single coherent living interlocking...

Barocco Leccese; Eine Sonderform des Barock betrachtet in Lecce an der Basilika Santa Croce
ISBN: 9783631633656 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Exzentrischer Ideenreichtum und eigenwillige Originalitat zeichnen den Lecceser Barock aus, der sich auf der salentinischen Halbinsel Italiens um Lecce im 16. Jahrhundert etabliert hat. Ist das Aussergewohnliche dieser Stilrichtung zwar langst erkannt, so ist sie in der deutschsprachigen Fachwelt bisher jedoch kaum gewurdigt und auch in der italienischen Kunstgeschichte erst in jungerer Zeit in Ansatzen erforscht worden. Diese Analyse belegt die Berechtigung, ja sogar die Notwendigkeit, den Barocco Leccese als eine Sonderform des Barock den allgemein bekannten Formen des Barock...

Les Demeures Philosophales Et Le Symbolisme Hermetique Dans Ses Rapports Avec L'Art Sacre Et L'Esoterisme Du Grand-Oeuvre

Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Fulcanelli is almost certainly a pseudonym assumed during the early 20th century, by a French alchemist and esoteric author whose identity is still debated. Fulcanelli was undoubtedly a Frenchman, educated profoundly, and learned in the ways of alchemical lore, architecture, art, science, and languages. Fulcanelli wrote two books that were published after his disappearance during 1926, having left his magnum opus with his only student, Eugene Canseliet. These two works--...

The essays collected in this book were delivered at the XLII Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held in London in 2009 to accompany the exhibition Byzantium 330-1453, at the Royal Academy. The exhibition was one of the most ambitious and complex exhibitions ever mounted at the Royal Academy, as well as one of the most popular, and the overall aim of the book is to reflect on the exhibition of Byzantine art, both as an academic and popular exercise, and through the choice and discussion of individual objects. Exhibitions present a very different picture of Byzantium and its culture from...

Black Art in Brazil: Expressions of Identity

Cleveland successfully problematizes the termAfro-Brazilian artas a category, challenging many assumptions about black art in Brazil specifically, and in the African Diaspora more broadly. Heather Shirey, University of St. Thomas
An insightful and clear discussion of the world of contemporary black art in Brazil. Cleveland s handling of the ways and means through which these artists deal with artistic production and its intersection with broader sociocultural and racial matters is spot-on.

What happens when ritual practitioners from a small Pacific nation make an intellectual property claim to bungee jumping?

A Gift of Light: From Sweetheart, in Her Own Words and Pictures
ISBN: 9781468578195 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rachel Wyse was a light in the world. Some amazing experiences in youth, including the instantaneous healing of a violent toothache and an encounter with Jesus at her mother's deathbed, left her with a quiet sense of wonder and beauty in everything -- people, nature, art -- that lasted all her long life:1864 in Salem, Massachusetts, to 1958 in Charlottesville, Virginia. She brought up her four children in Toronto, and afterwards travelled in Europe, Canada, Alaska, Mexico (well into her eighties), and once (alone, at 75) round the world. She was writing and painting all the time, often...
