Lives of the Artists
ISBN: 9780140444605 / Angielski / Miękka / 375 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In his Lives of the Artists of the Italian Renaissance, Vasari demonstrated a literary talent that outshone even his outstanding abilities as a painter and architect. Through character sketches and anecdotes he depicts Piero di Cosimo shut away in his derelict house, living only to paint; Giulio Romano's startling painting of Jove striking down the giants; and his friend Francesco Salviati, whose biography also tells us much about Vasari's own early career. Vasari's original and soaring vision plus his acute aesthetic judgements have made him one of the most influential art historians of all...

Ordinary Images
ISBN: 9780226000442 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This richly illustrated book explores the large body of sculpture, paintings, and other religious imagery produced for China's common classes from the third to the sixth centuries C.E. In contrast to the works made for imperial patrons, illustrious monastics, or other luminaries, these ordinary images-modest in scale, mass produced, and at times incomplete-were created for those of lesser standing. Because they cannot be related to well-known historical figures or social groups, these images have been considered a largely nebulous, undistinguished mass of works.

The Artemisia Files: Artemisia Gentileschi for Feminists and Other Thinking People
ISBN: 9780226035826 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the first female artists to achieve recognition in her own time, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) became instantly popular in the 1970s when feminist art historians "discovered" her and argued vehemently for a place for her in the canon of Italian baroque painters. Featured alongside her father, Orazio Gentileschi, in a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Artemisia has continued to stir interest though her position in the canon remains precarious, in part because her sensationalized life history has overshadowed her art.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Nowhere is evidence of Bernini's unique abillity to unite architecture with sculpture and painting into a beautiful whole more compelling than in the Baroque chapel of Bernini's design: a dark world sealed below by a balustrade, covered by a luminous celestial dome, and populated by bodies of paint, marble, stucco, and flesh. This book explores three of these Baroque chapels to show how Bernini achieved his remarkable effects. Giovanni Careri examines the ways in which the artist integrated the disparate forms of architecture, painting, and sculpture into a coherent space for devotion, and...

The Judgment of Paris
ISBN: 9780226135120 / Angielski / Miękka / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Drawing on Freudian theories of sexuality and Kant's conception of the beautiful, French art historian Hubert Damisch considers artists as diverse as Raphael, Picasso, Watteau, and Manet to demonstrate that beauty has always been connected to ideas of sexual difference and pleasure. Damisch's tale begins with the judgment of Paris, in which Paris awards Venus the golden apple and thus forever links beauty with desire. The casting of this decision as a mistake-in which desire is rewarded over wisdom and strength-is then linked to theories of the unconscious and psychological drives. In his...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A rich exploration of the possibilities of representation after Modernism, Mark Taylor's new study charts the logic and continuity of Mark Tansey's painting by considering the philosophical ideas behind Tansey's art.
