Known for their beautiful textile art, the Kuna of Panama have been scrutinized by anthropologists for decades.

Drawing on long-term fieldwork, Paolo Fortis at last brings to light this crucial cultural facet, illuminating not only Kuna aesthetics and art production but also their relation to wider social and cosmological concerns. Exploring an art form that informs birth and death, personhood,... Known for their beautiful textile art, the Kuna of Panama have been scrutinized by anthropologists for decades.

Painted Journeys: The Art of John Mix Stanleyvolume 17
ISBN: 9780806148298 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Artist-explorer John Mix Stanley (1814-1872), one of the most celebrated chroniclers of the American West in his time, was in a sense a victim of his own success. So highly regarded was his work that more than two hundred of his paintings were held at the Smithsonian Institution--where in 1865 a fire destroyed all but seven of them. This volume, featuring a comprehensive collection of Stanley's extant art, reproduced in full color, offers an opportunity--and ample reason--to rediscover the remarkable accomplishments of this outsize figure of nineteenth-century American culture.

This volume, illustrated with more than 150 images, examines select paintings and films to demonstrate how these artists both enhanced and contradicted earlier representations of the West. Prior to this period, American art tended to portray the West as a wild frontier with untamed... Artists and filmmakers in the early twentieth century reshaped our vision of the American West.
