Carpaccio was the greatest early Renaissance narrative painter of the Venetian school - and this illuminating study by Peter Humfrey ably demonstrates the truth of this statement Little is known of Vittore Carpaccio's early life, only that he was born sometime between 1455 and 1460 The dominant influences on his early work were those of Gentile овбчы Bellini and Antonello da Messina His first known works do not appear until 1490, the date on one of the canvases in the cycle illustrating the legend of St Ursula for the Scuola di Santa Orsola In these celebrated works he emerged as a mature artist of originality, revealing a gift for organisation, narrative skill, and a masterly command of light Carpaccio died some time between 1523 and 1525 and was subsequently neglected for many centuries He was rediscovered in the nineteenth century, when his precise rendering of architecture and the luminous atmosphere of his paintings were praised by the English critic John Ruskin Автор Peter Humfrey.  Издательство: Chaucer Press, 2005 г Твердый переплет, 144 стр ISBN 1904449336.

Book DescriptionThis is the first English language monograph on Bartolomeo Veneto (c 14801531), who worked in Northern Italy in an area bounded by Venice and Milan The art made in this region is characterized by an intensity and richness arising from the various artistic personalities that enlivened the period and the vitality of exchanges овбшц that linked artists from widely separated cultural areas An analysis of Bartolomeos works allows one to observe the vivid atmosphere of the period Specializing in portraiture, he moved often to satisfy the demands of his clientele in the small and large courts in the Veneto, Emilia, and the Lombardy regions of the Po Valley Over the course of his career, from his earliest dated painting in 1502 until his death, presumably in 1531, he produced a remarkable body of work Characteristic of Bartolomeo Veneto is an interest in a refined rendering of details, particularly of clothing, and the inclusion of symbolic elements This symbolismunderstandable by only a select fewrefers to the moral, philosophical, or even political ideals of the person depicted and reflects the cultivated society of the clients for whom the artist worked Of particualr interest are his portraits and works that fall midway between conventional portraiture and representations of a symbolic, mythological, or religious nature On the one hand, he was able to synthesize diverse stylistic tendencies On the other, he was able to capture nuances of his subjects personalities Despite the remarkable quality of many of his paintings, he was not mentioned by historical sources, and he remains one of the least-studied and most mysterious of the 16-century Italian painters He was rediscovered in the middle of the 19th century, when several of his signed and dated paintings were acquired by European museums.  2003 г 68 стр ISBN 1879067064.

Перед тобой, дорогой читатель, весьма необычная книга Необычен уже сам ее жанр - монография-конволют ( проще говоря - сборник) То есть герой - один, а авторов - много, даже очень много овбщж Тексты обязаны своим возникновением именно этой книге и появлялись независимо друг от друга Никто не знал заранее, о чем и как пишут коллеги Предлагаемую книгу можно рассматривать как антологию современной петербургской критики В ней оказались собранными едва ли не все возрасты, ориентации, стили, манеры, жанры и приемы Историки, критики, философы, писатели Воинов оказался фигурой "общепримиряющей" - писать о нем интересно было всем Одни авторы объявляют Вадима Воинова хранителем памяти, другие - ее разрушителем Одни полагают, что он возвращает нам подлинную историю, другие отказывают ему в "историчности" - по их мнению, художник утверждает тотальное отсутствие истории Одни авторы ищут разгадку воиновского творчества в его связях с поп-артом, другие - с советской детской литературой 1920-х годов Одни считают его радикальным, другие - старомодным Часть текстов подчеркнуто серьезна, проникнута пафосом, часть написана с явной иронией Foreword The book you are holding, dear reader, is highly unusual It is unusual from the point of view of genre, being as it is a kind of convoluted monograph (or, more simply, a collection) In other words, the protagonist is one, but the authors are many; strikingly many The texts owe their existence to this book and have appeared independently of one another No one knew beforehand what and how his or her colleague would write on the subject; this, it seems to me, is what makes this collective narrative so fundamentally intriguing Exceptions, completely justfiable, to this principle of anonymity are two earlier published articles, though even these have been, as it is called, "reworked and expanded " These are articles by Alexander Borovsky and Irina Karasik (I refer here to myself in the third person ) This has allowed us, in the first place, to include the two publications which form the foundation of work devoted to Voinov`s creative activity: the album "Bridge Over the River Styx" and the catalogue "The Exodus of Things " The word "convolution" presupposes an inventory of existing knowledge, and it is for this reason that the book includes certain kinds of commentary-a survey of the most interesting and significant publications about the artist In the second place, in these "recycled" texts the authors and the artist himself formulate their fundamental positions, their basic ideas In the space of the book, these articles acquire another context altogether, a context that ensures certain points of rest within the dialogical field that opens up here Consciously or unconsciously, the "new authors" take account of these already existingjudgments and evaluations, sometimes elaborating or continuing them, and sometimes taking issue with them This book might be seen as an anthology of contemporary Petersburg criticism Between its covers, one finds represented virtually all ages, orientations, styles, mannerisms, genres and artistic devices The range is vast-adherents of traditional approaches in art criticism, the museum establishment, radical artistic youth historians, critics, philosophers, writers Voinov proved to be a figure of "general reconciliation " Writing about him appealed to everyone; they responded eagerly to the opportunity and others took the initiative themselves when they got word of the project Certain authors hail Vadim Voinov as someone who preserves and protects memory, while others claim that he destroys it; some consider him to be an artist, capable of animating an inert thing, awakening its soul, revealing its connection to human beings Others, on the contrary, see in him a grave-digger who sings praises to dead nature Some assume that he restores to us an authentic history; others would deny him any historicity at all In their judgment, the artist asserts the total absence of history Some authors search for the key to Voinov`s creative work in his affinities with pop-art; others with Soviet children`s literature of the 1920s There are those who stress his connections to the avant-garde, and those who point out his connections with the Russian literary tradition and 19th century historical painting Some consider him to be a radical; others find him old-fashioned A number of the texts are emphatically serious in tone, imbued with pathos Certain others are patently ironic.  2002 г 224 стр ISBN 5-93630-196-6 Формат: 60x90/8 (~220х290 мм).

To the eye of some viewers, Renoir's Great Bathers are the very picture of female sensuality and beauty To others, they embody a whole tradition of masculine mastery and feminine display Yet others find in the bathers a feminine fantasy of bodily liberation The points of view are many, various, occasionally startling--and through them, Linda Nochlin овбыя explores the contradictions and dissonances that mark experience as well as art Her book--about art, the body, beauty, and ways of viewing--confronts the issues posed in representations particularly of the female body in the art of impressionists, modern masters, and contemporary realists and post-modernists Nochlin begins by focusing on the painterly preoccupation with bathing, whether at the beach, in lakes and rivers, in public swimming pools, or in bathtubs In discussions of Renoir, Manet, Cezanne, Bonnard, and Picasso, of late-twentieth-century and contemporary artists such as Philip Pearlstein, Alice Neel, and Jenny Saville, of grotesque imagery, the concept of beauty, and the body in realism, she develops an interpretive collage incorporating the readings of differing, strong-willed, female viewpoints Among these is, of course, Nochlin's own, a vantage point subtly charted here through a longtime engagement with art, art history, and artists In many ways a personal book, Bathers, Bodies, Beauty brings to bear a lifetime of looking at, teaching, talking about, wrestling with, loving, and hating art to reveal and complicate the lived and felt--the visceral--experience of art.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 352 стр ISBN 0674021169.

Book DescriptionJules Flandrin (1871-1947) was a pupil of Gustave Moreau, one of the most prominent figures in the fin-de-siecle art world, and a close member of the group which included Matisse, George Rouault, and Albert Marquet: artists who helped to shape the course of modern art Flandrin was a significant force amongst these innovators Widely овбью shown in Paris in the first years of the twentieth century, on the eve of the First World War he was hailed as one of the torchbearers of lart vivant Illustrated exclusively from private collections in Paris and Grenoble, this book provides a unique study of Flandrins work in the context of the innovations which influenced him, and which he, in turn, inspired By considering Flandrin as deeply emblematic of his age, the book invites us to think about why artists like Flandrin have disappeared from histories of modern art; about identities of "avant-gardism" in a period of enormous transition; and about the larger forces which helped to create our image of early twentieth-century art.  2003 г 160 стр ISBN 9040095337.

Book Description The volume traces a panorama, one never before observed, of the last century of Italian art within a "global" framework, choosing, that is, the most distanced and wide-ranging perspective in order to be the most all-inclusive outsideItaly and outside Europe Furthermore, the historical line followed is also one of овбэг the first for Italian art to take account of the postmodern revolution and to follow every step of the alternating supremacies of modernity and antimodernity in theartistic research from 1900 to 2000 It is therefore shown that Italian art sometimes presents itself as homogeneous with international avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements, sometimes as dishomogeneous, recovering a specificity drawn from itsown prestigious cultural past, with foundations distinct from its historical present.  2003 г 360 стр ISBN 8884912598.

Book DescriptionLike a particularly good detective story, this richly textured book follows tantalizing clues in its hunt for a group of missing artistic masterpieces Susan Bell recounts both her long search for a series of sixteenth-century tapestries that celebrated women and her efforts to understand their meaning for Queen Elizabeth I овбщп of England and the other powerful women who owned them Opening a new window on the lives of noblewomen in the Renaissance, the brilliantly colored tapestries that were the ultimate artistic luxury of the day, and the popular and influential fourteenth-century writer Christine de Pizan, Bell pursues a compelling tale that moves from centuries past to today The tapestries around which this story revolves are linked toChristine de Pizan's Book of the City of Ladies (1405), orginally published six hundred years ago in 1405 The book is a tribute to women that honors two hundred female warriors, scientists, queens, philosophers, and builders of cities Though twenty-five manuscripts of the City of Ladies still exist, references to tapestries based on the book are elusive Bell takes us along as she tracks down records of six sets of tapestries whose owners included Elizabeth I of England; Margaret of Austria; and Anne of Brittany, Queen of France Bell examines the intriguing details of these women's lives-their arranged marriages, their power, their affairs of state-asking what interest they had in owning these particular tapestries Could the tapestries have represented their thinking? As she reveals the historical, linguistic, and cultural aspects of this unique story, Bell also gives a fascinating account of medieval and early-Renaissance tapestry production and of Christine de Pizan's remarkable life and legacy Illustrations: 8 color illustrations, 17 b/w photographs, 1 map, 1 table.  2004 г 254 стр ISBN 0520234103.

Book DescriptionDistinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the emergence of modern Japan Download DescriptionThis book offers a distinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the making of modern Japan Louis Cullen rejects western historiography which, he argues, is based on овбщщ a reluctance to accept that an eastern country could equal the west Instead he shows that this was not a country in progressive economic and social crisis before 1868 but a highly-developed economy led by highly-rational policymakers He shows how when an external threat emerged after 1793 the country became on balance more open rather than more oppressive and that Japan displayed remarkable success in negotiation with the western powers in 1853-68 and realism in relations with them thereafter In the twentieth century, however, armed forces imperfectly controlled by the 1889 constitution and alarm at encroaching western and American interests in Asia and the Pacific ledto an abandonment of realism and to nemesis in China and the Pacific.  1905 г Мягкая обложка ISBN 0521529182.

Book DescriptionOne of the greatest sculptors of the later Middle Ages, Tilman Riemenschneider (c 1460-1531) struck a rare balance between formal elegance and expressive strength His sculpture is noted for such innovative qualities as the acknowledgment of the viewer's mobility, an exquisite finish, and the occasional abandonment of polychromy овбыв (painted and gilded decoration) While anchored in the late Gothic tradition, Riemenschneider's work also reflects the emerging humanist concerns of the period In this generously illustrated book, historians, art historians, and conservators from the United States, Germany, and Austria discuss Riemenschneider's art from various perspectives, addressing such issues as attribution, pictorial rhetoric, surface treatment, and critical reception As the companion volume to the catalogue of the exhibition on the sculptor held in Washington and New York in 1999 and 2000, this book sheds light not only on a master sculptor whose work is admired today as among the most appealing of his era, but also on the art and culture of the late Middle Ages and Central Europe.  2004 г 264 стр ISBN 0300101341.

The reserved, shy, yet strangely proud-seeming young painter Georges Seurat lived a secluded life in a small studio on the Boulevard de Clichy in Paris In comparison with other 19th-century artists such as Vincent van Gogh or Paul Gauguin, he led what appeared on the outside to be a rather uneventful life His passions could only be aroused on questions овбыж of art Then he would spend hours discussing his views on painting and expounding the most recent theories of colour and art, without which, he declared, a new style of painting could no longer get by His insistence presently made him one of the foremost figures of the new Parisian art scene which, during the 1880s, departed ever further from the old ideals of Impressionism - intuition and temperament - and sought new values in art The Impressionist masters such as Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas had in the meantime become part of the establishment Their style was even imitated, in a moderated form, in Salon circles The spontaneous, virtuoso and subjective approach of the Impressionists was no longer enough for many young painters; they sought scientific principles on which to base their art, and were therefore fascinated by Seurat's unconditional dedication to painting and his belief in verifiable rules which would give modern painting a new persuasive power Иллюстрации Автор Хайо Дюхтинг Hajo Duchting.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 96 стр ISBN 3-8228-5863-3 Тираж: 3000 экз.

Amazon comTwenty years ago, a noted art writer lobbed a hand grenade at the smug world of contemporary art In Has Modernism Failed?, Suzi Gablik castigated a culture in which total submission to "the big, powerful machine" of the art market replaced the artist's independent moral authority Modern art broke the old rules, creating subversive овбыр work intended to shock the viewer into a new way of seeing But consumer culture eventually co-opted shock value In Gablik's view, successful artists of the1970s and early '80s traded their autonomy for the money and security of "institutionalized individuality" offered by aggressive art dealers and museums increasingly reliant on corporate support Gablik argued that by losing its last vestige of belief inspiritual values, art also lost touch with society as a whole While praising the "spiritual dignity" of work by Anselm Kiefer and Josef Beuys, she viewed spiritual imagery in neo-expressionist paintings with suspicion How could artists who didn't actively believe in this imagery invest it with mythical power? In the revised edition of her book---which includes two new chapters---Gablik revisits the issue of moral vision in art She divides the post-9/11 art world into artists whose work promotes the materialism of Western culture and those few who have found a "socially redeeming purpose" for art Most controversially, she proposes that "the truly significant product of an artist is his life " Her highest praise goes to artists whose work consists of social service projects, whether attempting to feed the hungry or restore damaged ecosystems Worthy as these projects may be, Gablik's failure to address the aesthetic component of art undermines her views Her writing can be repetitive, and her arguments, too narrowly focused But her passion, fearlessness and inclusion of the diverse viewpoints of artists, critics, dealers and others make her book compelling reading -Cathy CurtisBook DescriptionIn 1984, Suzi Gablik's Has Modernism Failed? was one of the first books to confront the social situation of contemporary art In describing a world whose central aesthetic paradigm of modernism had lost its vitality, with an "avant-garde" that reflected the culture of consumerism, her book struck a chord in an audience that had once responded to the heroic idealism of modernism Reprinted many times, Has Modernism Failed? became one of the most popular and influential works of contemporary art criticism Now Gablik has revised and expanded her work to encompass developments over the last two decades A new prologue looks at changes in the cultural context of art, especially at the radical split between artists who still proclaim the self-sufficiency of art, "in defiance of the social good," and artists who want art to have some worthy agenda outside of itself In a new chapter, "Globalization," she looks at the ruthless cultural homogenization of a universal consumer society and how a number of artists and curators are challenging it And in a passionate new chapter called "Transdisciplinarity" she offers a way forward for individuals to break free of the limiting ideologies of modernism and consumerism and shows how some artists are reflecting both spiritual and social concerns intheir art.  2004 г 160 стр ISBN 0500284849.

"A masterful and lavishly illustrated landmark surveythe first to cover the history of collage in this much depth "Library Journal From the seminal moment in 1908 when the young Picasso took a piece of brown card pasted with a "Magasins du Louvre" label and converted it into a new kind of picture, collage has been at the овбыщ heart of modern art Indeed, in seeking to transform the discarded scraps and residues of everyday life, the technique found extraordinary new opportunities for subversive rupture, playful artifice, and surreal juxtaposition, together with a completely new conception of the work of art as a material thing Collage quickly became essential to the idea of the modern, leaving its mark on almost every art movement since, from Dada and Constructivism, via Surrealism, Pop, and Situationism, to the digital techniques of today This book, the first comprehensive survey of the technique, explores in full the theoretical implications and political messages behind the work of the past century, explaining how the process was intimately linked to other revolutions in art practice It covers the many offshoots of collage, including assemblage, montage, photomontage, and dA©collage Along the way it outlines a new vision of modern art springing from this most simple and democratic of techniques 206 illustrations, 91 in color.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 224 стр ISBN 0500286094.
