Michael Croissant: Zeichnungen Und Collagen
ISBN: 9783777437316 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. English description: Michael Croissant (1928-2002) is one of the important German sculptors of the 20th century. At the same time, he created a large repertoire of drawings, works in color, and collages, centering around the same motifs and topics as his three-dimensional oeuvre. While the early drawings manifest his search for an individual, contemporary artistic expression, the later drawings demonstrate his need to complement his sculptures in the constant search for valid form. At the same time, his works with brush, pencil, and scissors retain a certain freedom, which at times evolves...

Walter Pater and the Language of Sculpture
ISBN: 9781409405849 / Angielski / Twarda / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Walter Pater and the Language of Sculpture is the first monograph to discuss the Victorian critic Walter Pater's attitude to sculpture. It brings together Pater's aesthetic theories with his theories on language and writing, to demonstrate how his ideas of the visual and written language are closely interlinked. Going beyond Pater's views on sculpture as an art form, this study traces the notion of relief (rilievo) and hybrid form in Pater, and his view of the writer as sculptor, a carver in language. Alongside her treatment of rilievo as a pervasive trope, Lene A stermark-Johansen also...

The Heart of Wisdom: Studies on the Heart Amulet in Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9781407307695 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The heart amulet is one of the most often depicted images in Egyptian art. Due to the scarcity of archaeological information available about the heart amulet, its artistic depictions represent an important and decisive source for the study of the meaning of these objects. We know that the amulet was already in use as early as the 11th Dynasty among the circle of Theban royalty. However, the first known depiction of the heart amulet only occurs at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty, in the Donation Stela, where the object is used by the young prince. This current study focuses on the...
