Feeding the Eye
ISBN: 9780520226593 / Angielski / Miękka / 347 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since the advent of cinema, visual art has tended to be perceived as if it were in motion. Artists now create less often in fresco or carved stone and more on film and tape, on the dance stage, or in the ever changing, ever moving medium of clothes. In this remarkable collection, Anne Hollander ranges over art of the twentieth and other centuries with unusual depth of historical insight to explore these rich, diverse visual treasures and the underlying themes that connect them.

Elmer Bischoff: The Ethics of Paint
ISBN: 9780520230422 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Elmer Bischoff (1916-1991) is generally regarded as one of the leaders among the artists in the San Francisco Bay Area who, after contributing to the local emergence of Abstract Expressionism during the 1940s and 50s, shifted the terms of their spectacularly sensuous brushwork to recognizable imagery. Bill Berkson writes that if "David Park was the classicist of the founding triad of the Bay Area Figurative painters, and Richard Diebenkorn the modernist, Bischoff was the romantic." Designed to accompany a major retrospective of Bischoff's work, this superb volume is lavishly illustrated with...

Abstract Art in the Late Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780521004534 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) These essays on abstract painting by eleven of its most incisive critics trace the development of such critical issues as hard-edge painting, deductive and serial structure, monochrome abstraction, the psychological analogy, regionalism, and the "death of painting" in Postmodernism. The introduction and commentary by Frances Colpitt situates the essays historically and examines their philosophical sources and influences, from formalism and phenomenology to structuralism and poststructuralism. What emerges is a coherent and optimistic picture of abstract painting--the definitive contribution...

French Modernisms: Perspectives on Art Before, During, and After Vichy
ISBN: 9780521783507 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) French Modernisms: Perspectives on Art Before, During, and After Vichy examines the close link between art and politics in France from 1935 to 1970. In essays on the exhibition and criticism of modern art, Michele Cone provides a broader context for the xenophobia that characterizes Vichy-era France. Cone argues that the decline of French art in the second half of the century was caused, not by the invasion of foreign artists, but by the Parisian art establishment itself, which continued to promote the Vichy-era values of national identity and national tradition.

Art Versus Nonart: Art Out of Mind
ISBN: 9780521824651 / Angielski / Twarda / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Tsion Avital poses the question: "Is modern art--art at all?" He argues that the nonrepresentational art produced in the twentieth century was not actually art, but rather the debris of the visual tradition it replaced. Modern art has thrived on the state of total confusion existing between art and pseudo-art and the inability of many to distinguish between them. As Avital demonstrates, modern art has served as a critical intermediate stage between art of the past and the future.

Desire and Excess: The Nineteenth-Century Culture of Art
ISBN: 9780691049144 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this fascinating look at the creative power of institutions, Jonah Siegel explores the rise of the modern idea of the artist in the nineteenth century, a period that also witnessed the emergence of the museum and the professional critic. Treating these developments as interrelated, he analyzes both visual material and literary texts to portray a culture in which art came to be thought of in powerful new ways. Ultimately, Siegel shows that artistic controversies commonly associated with the self-consciously radical movements of modernism and postmodernism have their roots in a dynamic...

The Stream's Secret: The Symbolism of Dante Gabriel Rossetti
ISBN: 9780718830571 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Dante Gabriel Rossetti is amongst the most famous figures of the Victorian era. An eminent artist and a founder member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, his art and life have fascinated scholars for decades. However, despite an existing acknowledgement of Rossetti's use of symbolism, specialists have neglected to analyse its nature and its sources, as well as its content. In The Stream's Secret, Rodger Drew highlights a facet of the artist's work that has hitherto gone largely unexplored. By offering a comprehensive analysis of Rossetti's paintings and poetry, Drew shows that the artist...

Cubism and its histories
ISBN: 9780719050046 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Cubism was the most influential artistic movement that emerged in the twentieth century. The hallmarks of its style were stamped on the art, design and architecture and its aesthetic principles governed the representation of modernity across all the arts. Yet just what cubism was, or stood for, at the time of its emergence is still in dispute, while the explanations offered for its importance for twentieth-century art, and its legacy for the present, are bewildering in their variety.
This fascinating book offers a way beyond this confusion: a narrative of its beginnings, consolidation and... Cubism was the most influential artistic movement that emerged in the twentieth century. The hallmarks of its style were stamped on the art, design an...

ISBN: 9780719073403 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In his previous book City Gorged with Dreams (2002), Ian Walker challenged established ideas about Surrealist photography by emphasising the key role played by documentary photographs in Parisian Surrealism. Now Walker turns his attention to the arrival of Surrealism in England in 1936. Examining for the first time the surprising relationship between Surrealism and English documentary photography and film, the book shows that some of the most interesting work of the period was made in the ambiguous spaces between them.
One of the key themes in this book is the relationship between the... In his previous book City Gorged with Dreams (2002), Ian Walker challenged established ideas about Surrealist photography by emphasising the key role ...

This is the first book to tell the Kensington...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Barcelona is well known as a center of contemporary art and architecture, but that prominence owes much to the creative outpouring it witnessed at the dawn of the twentieth century, when it was known as the "rose of fire."

As Barcelona changed around them, modernist artists including Pablo Picasso, Isidre Nonell, and Ramon Casas produced work fueled by and focused on political and humanitarian concerns. Barcelona 1900 portrays the artistic, cultural,...
