ISBN: 9780271026923 / Angielski / Miękka / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many patrons of the arts in nineteenth-century America built collections of paintings and sculpture imported primarily from England or Italy. Collectors in Baltimore--William Walters, George Lucas, the famous Cone sisters, among others--stand out in this milieu for having developed a strikingly different aesthetic for their homes and newly founded public institutions.

The Early Modern Painter-Etcher Hb
ISBN: 9780271029054 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For half a century after its introduction in Europe, printmaking remained the province of a specially trained group of professionals. What changed this situation was the invention of etching, which allowed for print designs to be drawn directly onto a plate so that any competent draftsman could try his hand at it. Many artists did, and as a result, we now have a wide-ranging corpus of major Renaissance and Baroque graphics made by artists who, though famous in other fields, were novices in the print medium. Featuring essays by Michael Cole, Larry Silver, Susan Dackerman, Graham...

The art of those who suffered under the most unspeakable conditions and the art of those who reflect on the genocide remind us that statistics cannot tell the entire story. This important and diverse collection focuses on the art expression from the inferno, documenting the Holocaust through sketches of camp life drawn surreptitiously by victims on scraps of paper, and through contemporary paintings,...
