ISBN: 9780192801609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What do we mean when we call a work of art "beautiful"?

Fundamental and intriguing questions to artists and art lovers, but ones that are all too often ignored in discussions of art today.

The avant-garde movements of Dada and Surrealism continue to have a huge influence on cultural practice, especially in contemporary art, with its obsession with sexuality, fetishism, and shock tactics.

ISBN: 9780192842046 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The most famous designs of the twentieth century are not those in museums, but in the marketplace.

Drawing on the most up-to-date scholarship, he explores themes such as national identity, the "Americanization" of ideology and business methods, the...

Early Medieval Architecture
ISBN: 9780192842237 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The early middle ages were an exciting period in the history of European architecture, culminating in the development of the Romanesque style. Major architectural innovations were made during this time including the medieval castle, the church spire, and the monastic cloister. By avoiding the traditional emphasis on chronological development, Roger Stalley provides a radically new approach to the subject, exploring issues and themes rather than sequences and dates. In addition to analysing the language of the Romanesque, the book examines the engineering achievements of the builders, focusing...

Landscape and Western Art
ISBN: 9780192842336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is landscape? How does it differ from "land?" Does landscape always imply something to be pictured, a scene? When and why did we begin to cherish images of nature? What is "nature?" Is it everything that isn't art, or artifact? By addressing these and many other questions, Landscape and Western Art explores the myriad ideas and images of the natural world in Western art since the Renaissance.
Implying that land is the raw material, and that art is created by turning land into landscape, which then becomes art, author Malcolm Andrews takes the reader on a thematic tour of the...

ISBN: 9780193152526 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Her book summarises the cultural climate in which Dido and Aeneas was composed, surveying the choice of subject matter and...
