ISBN: 9780271061948 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Portraiture and Politics in Revolutionary France challenges widely held assumptions about both the genre of portraiture and the political and cultural role of images in France at the beginning of the nineteenth century. After 1789, portraiture came to dominate French visual culture because it addressed the central challenge of the Revolution: how to turn subjects into citizens. Revolutionary portraits allowed sitters and artists to appropriate the means of representation, both aesthetic and political, and articulate new forms of selfhood and citizenship, often in astonishingly...

Picturing Thoreau: Henry David Thoreau in American Visual Culture
ISBN: 9780739189061 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As we approach the bicentennial, in 2017, of the birth of Henry David Thoreau, there is considerable debate and confusion as to what he may, or may not have, contributed to American life and culture. Almost every American has heard of Thoreau, but only a few are aware that he was deeply engaged with most of the important issues of his day, from slavery to "Manifest Destiny" and the rights of the individual in a democratic society. Many of these issues are still affecting us today, as we move toward the second quarter of the twenty-first century. By studying how various American artists have...

101 Souls
ISBN: 9781508703525 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Imagine a line of 100 people stretching back in time. Each person was born the year the preceding person died, and each lived to be sixty. It may surprise you to know that the line would go back 6000 years, to the first city states. 101 SOULS represents these imaginary individuals graphically, and lists events that occurred during their lives. Thus we come to realize that Marco Polo traveled to China when the 13th person was alive and Shakespeare wrote Macbeth when only the 8th person in line was living. Through the art of the portrait, artist John M Crowther brings history to life with...

Picturing Marie Leszczinska (1703-1768): Representing Queenship in Eighteenth-Century France
ISBN: 9781409455820 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Portraits of Queen Marie Leszczinska (1703a "1768) were highly visible in eighteenth-century France. Appearing in royal chA teaux and, after 1737, in the Parisian Salons, the queen's image was central to the visual construction of the monarchy. Her earliest portraits negotiated aspects of her ethnic difference, French gender norms, and royal rank to craft an image of an appropriate consort to the king. Later portraits by Maurice-Quentin de La Tour, Carle Van Loo, and Jean-Marc Nattier contributed to changing notions of queenship over the course of her 43 year tenure. Whether as royal wife,...

An Exact Likeness: The Portraits of John Wesley
ISBN: 9781501816604 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Faces are more than a montage of organs that see, breathe, speak, hear, eat, sing, smell, and yell. As Josephine Tey points out in her mystery novel, The Daughter of Time, the slant of an eyebrow, the set of a mouth, the look of the eye, the firmness of a chin, often can provide evidence of character that is as telling as a report card or a police blotter. Those features depicted on portraits of individuals can be equally telling of the person's inner nature or perhaps of what the artist thinks (or wants the viewer to think) about the person being portrayed. Sometimes a portrait...
