Warm Flesh, Cold Marble: Canova, Thorvaldsen, and Their Critics
ISBN: 9780300197891 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This brilliant book focuses on the aesthetic concerns of the two most important sculptors of the early 19th century, the great Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and his illustrious Danish rival Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). Rather than comparing their artistic output, the distinguished art historian David Bindman addresses the possible impact of Kantian aesthetics on their work. Both artists had elevated reputations, and their sculptures attracted interest from philosophically minded critics. Despite the sculptors' own apparent disdain for theory, Bindman argues that they were in...

Framing the Ocean, 1700 to the Present: Envisaging the Sea as Social Space
ISBN: 9781409465683 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before the eighteenth century, the ocean was regarded as a repulsive and chaotic deep.
