Picturing Technology in China: From Earliest Times to the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9789888208159 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the history of technological and scientific illustrations is a well-established field in the West, scholarship on the much longer Chinese experience is still undeveloped. This work by Peter Golas is a short, illustrated overview tracing the subject to pre-Han inscriptions but focusing mainly on the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. His main theme is that technological drawings developed in a different way in China from in the West largely because they were made by artists rather than by specialist illustrators or practitioners of technology. He examines the techniques of these...

Jonathan Richardson: By Himself
ISBN: 9781907372841 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jonathan Richardson (1667-1745) was one of 18th-century England's most significant cultural figures. A leading portrait painter and influential art theorist, he also amassed one of the period's greatest collections of drawings. But there was another, highly unusual dimension to his pursuits. In 1728, at the age of 61 and shortly before his retirement from professional life, Richardson began to create a remarkable series of self-portrait drawings. Not intended for public display, these works were unguarded explorations of his own character. In one of the most astonishing projects of...

Sachet Mixte Themes: Pastel Art
ISBN: 9781511864862 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pastel - an enduring medium. What is it about pastel that has captivated, engaged and inspired countless artists through the ages? Since the Renaissance, pastel has become renowned as a medium of endurance, as it does not contain the liquid binding agent that causes other media like oil, acrylic and watercolour to crack, change colour or consistency with age. As it's a dry medium, it has to be protected either by the use of spray fixative, or, ideally put behind glass in a frame. As pastels have an unusually high pigment content they also keep their jewel like brilliance over the centuries,...

Faith, Gender and the Senses in Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art: Interpreting the Noli Me Tangere and Doubting Thomas
ISBN: 9781472444738 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking the Noli me tangere and Doubting Thomas episodes as a focal point, this study examines how visual representations of two of the most compelling and related Christian stories engaged with changing devotional and cultural ideals in Renaissance and Baroque Italy. This book reconsiders depictions of the ambiguous encounter of Mary Magdalene and Christ in the garden (John 20:11-19, known as the Noli me tangere) and that of Christ's post-Resurrection appearance to Thomas (John 20:24-29, the Doubting Thomas) as manifestations of complex theological and art theoretical milieus. By focusing on...

Although their aim was to Christianize the islanders and eradicate the traditional religion along with...

Benjamin Senior - Breathless
ISBN: 9781910221068 / Angielski / Twarda / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Breathless' is the first monograph on the emerging British painter Benjamin Senior. His paintings conjure up a world that is delightful, curious, and distinctly his own. It is a world in which bathers lounge around pools and swimmers limber up before finally diving in; where we find people doing yoga and various exercise routines both indoors and out; where walkers and joggers take us out into the countryside, or into the city with their dogs. These physical activities - both leisure and sporting - would undoubtedly leave some of their protagonists out of breath, as the title of the...

Archivo F. X.: Business, Economics, Conjuncture
ISBN: 9783944669861 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Archivo F. X. is based on an archive that Pedro G. Romero has been compiling since 1999. It consists of more than a thousand documents that link the story (stories) of anticlerical iconoclasm in Spain with positions adopted by the international avant-garde. Drawing on this steadily expanding pool of material, Romero develops different ways of presenting the F. X. archive. In the process, the content's frame of reference finds itself continually readjusting to cater to such factors as the urban environment, community, knowledge, and economics. The staging of Archivo F. X. that...

Nathan Coley - To the Bramley Family of Frestonia
ISBN: 9781910221051 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'To the Bramley Family of Frestonia' is a publication documenting a public art project in London by Glasgow-based contemporary artist Nathan Coley (b.1967). At a time when housing and the property market are at the center of much social, political, economic, and cultural debate, Coley's project is a pertinent and thought-provoking exploration of issues of housing, ownership, history, and activism. In the mid-late 1960s, the Greater London Council moved local authority tenants out of their run-down terraced houses in the Freston Road area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and into...

Grabbing the Muse by the Throat
ISBN: 9780994366009 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With a landmark birthday fast approaching, Wendy realised she'd need to get a move on if she wanted to fulfil her lifelong dream of making a living from her art and writing. Foremost was her desire to paint again after many fallow years. New Year's resolutions hadn't worked and neither had vague promises to herself, so with no thumbscrews close to hand she threw down the gauntlet in the form of a ten day painting challenge. This morphed into a whole year of creative challenges which Wendy documents in an amusing, warts-and-all narrative. Set against the backdrop of an ordinary life raising...
