Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di poesie e di racconti popolari anonimi in dialetto molisano tracciano il percorso di due storie che, pur diversificate, si compenetrano e si completano a vicenda: la storia individuale dell' autore e la storia collettiva della società di un paese del Sud. Le immagini di un mondo apparentemente immobile e arcaico si alternano alle vicende di una realtà storica complessa e tormentata, nel cui magma vecchio e nuovo si scontrano e si fondono. This collection of poems and anonymous folktales in the Molisan dialect traces the unfolding of two stories which, although distinct, interweave and complete each other: the author's individual story and the story of a town in the South of Italy. The images of an apparently immobile and archaic world alternate with the events of a complex and tormented historical reality, in whose magma the new and the old clash and fuse.

Download or read book Enrico Corte Spectrospective Ediz italiana e inglese written by Enrico Corte and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrico Corte (1963) vive e lavora a New York e Roma. Adotta fin dal suo esordio un ruolo antinomico rispetto alle modalità abituali del fare arte, scegliendo di mostrare &"ciò che non si vuol vedere&", il lato oscuro della creatività che spesso confina col suo opposto, ossia con l&'autodistruzione. Corte si colloca lontano sia dal gusto tipicamente italiano per la &"leggerezza&" sia dalla ricerca dello scandalo a tutti i costi, trovando invece inedite forme di bellezza plastica, fatali fascinazioni di fronte all&'Ignoto. Capovolgendo le regole stabilite del mercato dell&'arte, che vorrebbero l&'artista specializzato in un singolo &"segno&" riconoscibile nel tempo, Corte è intervenuto direttamente nel sociale tramite una moltiplicazione di stili, tecniche e soluzioni estetiche sufficienti per attrarre l&'attenzione del suo pubblico e condurlo nei territori del turbamento e vertigine. I temi del pieno e del vuoto, e dell&'equilibrio delle forme - tipici dell&'arte scultorea classica - subiscono nuove metamorfosi e divengono metafore tragicomiche di un malessere sociale. In questa monografia su Corte, un saggio critico di Gianluca Marziani analizza una selezione di opere secondo un&'ottica &"spettrospettiva&" che annulla i concetti tradizionali di Evoluzione e Maturità. Attraverso questa interpretazione, il lavoro di Corte si colloca in una dimensione neurale, imitando lo sviluppo labirintico che regola il macrocosmo dei più oscuri ed inquietanti processi cerebrali.

Download or read book Past Imperfect written by Grisha Bruskin and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a soviet underground artist, Grisha Bruskin was propelled to prominence after the unprecedented success of his paintings at the Sotheby Moscow auction of 1988. Since then his work has been exhibited all over the world at the Guggenheim, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the Jewish Museum in New York. Past Imperfect deftly captures the artist’s experiences as a Jew in Russia, the reality of life in an empire permeated by ideology, and the centrality of family. Saturated with insight and irony, each story offers a small vignette of Bruskin’s life. Photographs throughout the book create a distinct dialogue between word and image. Alice Nakhimovsky’s elegant translation conveys Bruskin’s sharp wit and strong style, superbly rendering Past Imperfect in English.
