Reading Pictures: What We Think about When We Look at Art
ISBN: 9780375759222 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This profoundly illuminating, entertaining book could well change the way we "read" the visual world around us, and certainly help open our eyes and minds to its astonishing riches. The language in which we speak about art has become steadily more abstruse, a jargon that only art critics and con-artists can understand, though for thousands of years this was not the case. Today, we live in a kaleidoscopic new world of images: Is there a vocabulary we can learn in order to read these images? Is there something we can do so as not to remain passive when we flip through an illustrated book, or...

Hypersurface Architecture II
ISBN: 9780471998716 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The first edition of Hypersurface presented an analysis of contemporary culture that identified two interpenetrating trends: avant garde architecture and everyday commercial practices. Hypersurface II demonstrates the convergence of these two forces that radicalizes form and deterritorializes subjectivity. This second edition further investigates the way in which effects emerge within architecture and explores the manifestations of this unprecedented moment in architecture where the rampages of commercial culture begin to cross-contaminate architectural form.

The Parallel Worlds of Classical Art and Text
ISBN: 9780521815222 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Considering the relationship between artists and texts throughout classical antiquity, this study systematically applies new and objective criteria to judge the fidelity between picture and text. It becomes clear that artists illustrate stories, not texts, and Jocelyn Penny Small argues that artistic transmissions follow the model of oral, not textual, transmission where the variant rules and there is no original. Pictures on vases, she demonstrates, should not be used to reconstruct lost literary works.

The Crossing of the Visible
ISBN: 9780804733915 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Painting, according to Jean-Luc Marion, is a central topic of concern for philosophy, particularly phenomenology. For the question of painting is, at its heart, a question of visibility--of appearance. As such, the painting is a privileged case of the phenomenon; the painting becomes an index for investigating the conditions of appearance--or what Marion describes as -phenomenality- in general. In The Crossing of the Visible, Marion takes up just such a project. The natural outgrowth of his earlier reflections on icons, these four studies carefully consider the history of...

Shifting Priorities: Gender and Genre in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Painting
ISBN: 9780804744768 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This work offers a sustained examination of Dutch 17th-century genre painting from a theoretically informed feminist perspective. Other recent works that deal with images of women in this field maintain the paradoxical combination of seeing the images as positivist reflections of life as it was and as emblems of virtue and vice. These reductionist practices deprive the works of their place in visual culture and complex nature, important frameworks that the book attempts to restore to them. Salomon seeks to expand the possibilities for understanding both familiar and unfamiliar paintings from...
