ISBN: 9780856676123 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This book examines the principal ways by which artists have explored the fascination and meaning of stone.

Conceived as a companion to the exhibition Art at the... This book examines the principal ways by which artists have explored the fascination and meaning of stone. At times a belief in the sacred has informe...

Under the Banyan Tree : Relocating the Picturesque in British India

These ideas not only shaped specific landscapes in India, but also fed the imagination of a global audience throughout the British empire. The material in this engaging text ranges from river landscapes and tea plantations to elephants and bejeweled Indian...
