Earth-Mapping: Artists Reshaping Landscape
ISBN: 9780816643332 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dutch world maps of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with their decorative pictures and elaborate typography, stand in sharp contrast to the wholly practical maps of today, which emphasize precise detail and consistent scale. Art, since the Impressionist period, has seemingly moved in the opposite direction, toward a less realistic interpretation of the world around us. Edward S. Casey demonstrates that the disciplines of mapping and painting, long thought to have diverged, are again intersecting. Earth-Mapping describes the ways in which artists of the last half century have...

Green Fuse, The: Pastoral Vision in English Art 1820-2000
ISBN: 9781851495320 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces for the first time a length of green heritage in English art.

The history begins with Samuel Palmer, who transplanted the act of vision from his mentor William Blake s heroic figures into the soil of English landscape art. Palmer s landscape vision was more influential than has yet been recognised. His tradition has been enriched by artists of every subsequent generation, from Nash via...

To witness Langlois's paintings and other... Emerging in the realm of popular entertainment, Jean-Charles Langlois's Panorama of Algiers (1833) drew an audience in much the same way t... |
