Impressionisten: Guys - Manet - Van Gogh - Pissarro - Cézanne
ISBN: 9783737208963 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Mittlerweile sind die Bilder der Impressionisten teuer geworden, und dieser Umstand, der das kapitalkraftige Berlin reizt, wird in anderen Zentren zum unubersteiglichen Hindernis. In Berlin aber nimmt die plutokratische Toleranz die heterogensten Dinge auf, und es ist die Frage, ob mit Nutzen. Man kaufte gestern Manet, heute Courbet, morgen Signac. Vermag der Laie, der nicht mit dem eigentlichen Korper der franzosischen Kunst vertraut ist, solche Extremitaten, wie van Gogh und Gauguin, die gegenwartig auf der Tagesordnung stehen, wirklich zu schatzen? Ich habe oft und stets vergebens...

ISBN: 9789004254695 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781784532871 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What impact do sexual politics and queer identities have on the understanding of blackness as a set of visual, cultural and intellectual concerns? In Queering Post-Black Art, Derek Conrad Murray argues that the rise of female, gay and lesbian artists as legitimate African-American creative voices is essential to the development of black art. He considers iconic works by artists including Glenn Ligon, Kehinde Wiley, Mickalene Thomas and Kalup Linzy, which question whether it is possible for blackness to evade its ideologically over-determined cultural legibility. In their own unique, often...

Mały słownik sztuki chińskiej
ISBN: 9788380021723 / Polski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Niezwykle ważną cechą sztuki chińskiej - a może w ogóle cywilizacji tego kraju - jest wielka trwałość podstawowych jej kanonów, a co za tym idzie - powolność ewolucji. Inną jej cechą charakterystyczną jest to, że w Chinach nigdy nowy styl nie eliminował całkowicie stylu poprzedniego, a jedynie ograniczał się do ilościowych modyfikacji form już istniejących. Specyficzny jest też stosunek sztuki chińskiej do człowieka. W przeciwieństwie do sztuki naszego kręgu kulturowego chińskiego twórcy nie interesuje człowiek. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim malarstwa, ale też i...

The Anthropomorphic Lens: Anthropomorphism, Microcosmism and Analogy in Early Modern Thought and Visual Arts
ISBN: 9789004261709 / Angielski / Twarda / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Anthropomorphism - the projection of the human form onto the every aspect of the world - closely relates to early modern notions of analogy and microcosm. What had been construed in Antiquity as a ready metaphor for the order of creation was reworked into a complex system relating the human body to the body of the world. Numerous books and images - cosmological diagrams, illustrated treatises of botany and zoology, maps, alphabets, collections of ornaments, architectural essays - are entirely constructed on the anthropomorphic analogy. Exploring the complexities inherent in such work, the...

Portraiture in South Asia Since the Mughals: Art, Representation and History
ISBN: 9781780767246 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deriving from Persian artistic techniques, Mughal portraiture reached its apogee during the reigns of the great Mughal emperor-patrons Akbar, Shah Jahan and Jahangir. Much of the art produced in this period was commissioned for political reasons, and art was one method of ensuring power, increasing prestige and sending messages to the kingdom and rival dynasties. Western portraiture has become an incredibly important source of historical study because of what it can tell us about the tastes, rules, dress, politics and identity of periods and rulers. One of the reasons this hasn't quite...
