In Art: Madonnas
ISBN: 9781505305104 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than 1500 years Madonnas have been an important part of religious art - across Europe and beyond. This small booklet highlights many of the best known, as well as numerous lesser-known, paintings of the Madonna and child. Beyond including Mary and a young Jesus, there are not many similarities between all of the paintings: some include angels, and some of the others include saints. Some of the paintings include halos, but many do not. Some show Jesus as a baby, in some He is portrayed more as a toddler. Most of the paintings are painted in an interior scene, but a few are set...

In this, the latest book in the Enjoying Great Art Series, we will examine the Magi in paintings, as well as in scripture, history, legends, and songs. Like other books in the series, this one contains dozens of paintings along this particular theme. Unlike most of the others, though, this one also includes several pages of text, in this case giving us more information on the topic, the Magi (the Wise Men) and the star they followed. How often during the Christmas season, or other times of the year, do we consider the Wise Men and their trip to see Christ? For most of us, not often. Maybe we...

In Art: Three "Vices"
ISBN: 9781505733396 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Generally the "In Art" books are intended to be enjoyed by adults and students of all ages. This particular book deviates from the norm. None of the pictures are actually risque, they just aren't all the typical "family friendly" type we like to focus on. This book was an opportunity to show how the more adult themes of gambling, smoking, and drinking have shown up in paintings through the ages. This book highlights more than three dozen paintings that span many centuries...See what these many artists, including Renoir and Degas, have done with these "vices.""

In Art: Van Gogh
ISBN: 9781506001685 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of the books in the Enjoying Great Art series are topical - on a variety of topics ranging from horses to nobility, and from necklaces to maps. But occasionally, the need arises to focus on a particular artist. Leonardo da Vinci was the first to warrant his own book in the series, and now Vincent van Gogh joins that limited list. Van Gogh's artist career was much shorter than da Vinci's, but in less than ten years, van Gogh completed almost a thousand oil paintings, and over a thousand sketches and water colors. So, while In Art: Leonardo includes all of da Vinci's known works, In Art:...

Feast of Excess: A Cultural History of the New Sensibility
ISBN: 9780190218478 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1952, John Cage shocked audiences with 4'33," his compositional ode to the ironic power of silence. From Cage's minimalism to Chris Burden's radical performance art two decades later (in one piece he had himself shot), the post-war American avant-garde shattered the divide between low and high art, between artist and audience. They changed the cultural landscape. Feast of Excess is an engaging and accessible portrait of "The New Sensibility," as it was named by Susan Sontag in 1965. The New Sensibility sought to push culture in extreme directions: either towards stark...

Willem de Kooning Nonstop: Cherchez La Femme
ISBN: 9780226267449 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early 1950s, Willem de Kooning's Woman I and subsequent paintings established him as a leading member of the abstract expressionist movement. His wildly impacted brushstrokes and heavily encrusted surfaces baffled most critics, who saw de Kooning's monstrous female image as violent, aggressive, and ultimately the product of a misogynistic mind. In the image-rich Willem de Kooning Nonstop, Rosalind E. Krauss counters this view with a radical rethinking of de Kooning's bold canvases and reveals his true artistic practices. Krauss demonstrates that contrary to popular...

In Art: Rembrandt
ISBN: 9781508641230 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A painter during the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt could safely be called one of the greatest artists of all time. He was especially well known for his portraits (and did an extraordinary number of self-portraits), but he also did Bible and history scenes, and even an occasional landscape. A book this size cannot be an exhaustive look at an artist like Rembrandt, but it can serve to introduce him to adults and students of all ages. The book contains copies of more than four dozen of Rembrandt's paintings, including more than two dozen of his self-portraits. (Rembrandt often painted his Jewish...

A vivid and engaging exploration of California's debt to the ancient world Discussing the influence of the classics on America is nothing new; indeed, classical antiquity could be considered second only to Christianity as a force in modeling America's national identity. What has never been explored until now is how, from the beginning, Californians in particular chose to visually and culturally craft their new world using the rhetoric of classical antiquity. Through a lively exploration of material culture, literature, and architecture, American Arcadia offers a tour through...
