ISBN: 9780754658276 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This book reveals how art and sex promoted the desire for the genetically perfect body.

The Likeness of the King : A Prehistory of Portraiture in Late Medieval France
ISBN: 9780226658797 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Anyone who has strolled through the halls of a museum knows that portraits occupy a central place in the history of art. But did portraits, as such, exist in the medieval era? Stephen Perkinson s "The Likeness of the King" challenges the canonical account of the invention of modern portrait practices, offering a case against the tendency of recent scholarship to identify likenesses of historical personages as the first modern portraits. Unwilling to accept the anachronistic nature of these claims, Perkinson both resists and complicates grand narratives of portraiture art that ignore...

ISBN: 9780521807555 / Angielski / Twarda / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study examines the forces that made the nude a contentious image in the early Third Republic. Analyzing the evolving relationship between the fine art nude, print culture, and censorship, Heather Dawkins explores how artists, art critics, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, and judges evaluated the nude. She reveals how spectatorship of the nude was refracted through the ideals of art, femininity, republican liberty, and public decency. Dawkins also investigates how women reshaped private perception of the nude to accommodate their own experience and subjectivity.

French Paintings of Childhood and Adolescence, 1848-1886
ISBN: 9780754654605 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The premise of Anna Green's timely and original book, is that nineteenth-century representations of childhood and adolescence-in paintings, but also in other forms of visual culture and in diverse written discourses of the period-are critical for understanding modernity. Whilst such well-worn signifiers for modernity as the city, the dandy and the prostitute have been well mined, childhood and adolescence have not. Paintings of the young produced in France from 1848 to 1886, Green contends, inform not only our understanding of modern life but also our perception of modernist or avant-garde...
