ISBN: 9781350185241 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In April 1937, the Museum of Modern Art in New York hosted an exhibition that served as a catalyst for the appropriation of prehistoric rock art in postwar abstract painting. With the title "Prehistoric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa", it displayed a range of copies from the influential collection of the German ethnologist Leo Frobenius. Largely disregarded in modern American art history up until now, this book highlights the importance of this exhibition to artists such as Josef Albers, Adolph Gottlieb, David Smith, and The American Abstract Artists group, who sought inspiration from...

Monumental Archaeology in the Mongolian Altai: Intention, Memory, Myth
ISBN: 9789004535213 / Angielski / Twarda / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The stone monuments of Mongolia’s Altai Mountains trace the web of ancient cultures across that remote land. This study breaks new ground by seeking their cultural significance from within their physical locations and viewsheds. It is the first study to join the mute stone monuments to the vivid petroglyphic rock art of that region. In that and in the examination of a monument’s individualizing details, I seek to recover the impulse of original intention, the way in which monument and location fix cultural memory, and the way in which memory finally gives way to the cultural development...

"Prehistoric Figurines "is a radical new approach to one of the most exciting but poorly understood artefacts from our prehistoric past. The book explores the ways that people use representations of human bodies to make subtle political points and to understand their own identities and to negotiate their relationships with friends and enemies. Moving beyond the traditional mechanisms of interpretation, the argument is an original and coherent interpretation of prehistoric figurines from southeastern Europe. The author propels the debate past the limitations of the out-dated interpretations of...

In Puritan New England, with its abiding concern for things not of this world and its distrust of forms and ceremonies, one art flourished: the symbolic art of mortuary monument stonecarvers.

It is reissued for today's readers, with a new preface outlining changes in the field since the book appeared in 1966.

People of the Eland: Rock Paintings of the Drakensberg Bushmen as a Reflection of Their Life and Thought
ISBN: 9781868144976 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1976, People of the Eland was the first major step away from the outsiders view upon San rock art that had dominated studies of rock art for nearly a century. The book provides an account of the rock art of the Drakensberg Range and historical information on the mountain San themselves. The book aims to gain an insiders view of the rock art using San understandings of the world. While following this approach, it quickly became clear to Patricia Vinnicombe that the art was very far from simple depictions of daily life as had once seemed likely, but instead...

Eland's People: New Perspectives in the Rock Art of the Maloti-Drakensberg Bushmen Essays in Memory of Patricia Vinnicombe

After Patricia Vinnicombe's death in 2003, Peter Mitchell and Ben Smith were called to the challenge of adding additional sections to the People of Eland. Both editors have brought together leading scholars in the field to write new sections to explain how early knowledge of San art has changed and how current research is still influenced by this landmark volume. The Eland's People is thus intended as a companion volume to People of the Eland and it is hoped that this new volume will provide a richer appreciation of the importance of Patricia Vinnicombe's original...
