Download or read book Distance Points written by James S. Ackerman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays by one of America's foremost historians of art and architecture range over theory and criticism, the search for connections between art and science in the Renaissance, and specific works of Renaissance architecture. The largest group of essays, dealing with the character of Renaissance architecture, are models of art historical scholarship in their direct approach to identifying the essentials of a building and the social and intellectual context in which they should be viewed. Another group of essays explores encounters between the traditions of artistic practice and early optics and color theory. The three essays that begin this collection bring to light the intellectual and moral concerns that underlie all of Ackerman's art historical work.

Download or read book Gauguin and the School of Pont Aven written by Ronald Pickvance and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gauguin, de Haan, Slewinski, Moret, Jourdan, O'Connor, Laval, Maufra, Chamaillard, Filiger, Willumsen, Serusier, Bevan, Forbes-Robertson, Clement, Bernard, Amiet, Verkade, Seguin, Dehis, Ballin. These 21 artists constitute the Pont- Aven Group. Eleven were French-born, but of these only three were native Bretons (Chamaillard, Jourdan, and Maufra); the remainder were mixed European - three Danish, two English, two Dutch, one Irish, one Swiss, and one Polish. Their social and educated backgrounds were as disparate as their places of birth. Yet between 1886 and 1894, in and around the small Brittany town of Pont-Aven, they helped forge a new style of painting, led by their eldest member, Paul Gauguin."--Amazon.

Download or read book Agricultural Fluctuations in Europe written by Wilhelm Abel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm Abel's study of economic fluctuations over a period of seven hundred years has long been established as a core text in European agricultural history. Professor Abel was one of the first economic historians to make extensive use of statistical data, and his scholarship and approach have had a decisive effect on the orientation of economic and agricultural history. Using data on population, wages and rents from England, France, Germany and the Low Countries, and, on occasion, from Italy, Scandinavia and Poland, here Professor Abel demonstrates the striking similarity in the overall economic development for all these areas. He also analyses, the short-term fluctuations that have affected agricultural development within this economic framework, and is able to show the broad significance of the shape of the late medieval depression, the scale of the desertions of villages that accompanies it, and the implications of the sixteenth century price revolution. The book's importance lies in tracing the long-term trends that have characterized European economic development since the High Middle Ages, and as such it has made an invaluable contribution to all comparative analyses of different Western European countries since it was first published in 1980.

Download or read book Stranger On The Earth written by Albert J. Lubin and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 1996-08-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personality of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890)—a 19th-century combination of dropout, rebel, and genius—and the source of his enormous achievement continue to fascinate people as deeply as his vivid, wildly painted canvasses of sunflowers, peasants, and starry nights. In this first and only in-depth study of the relationship between van Gogh's psychological development and his art, Albert J. Lubin, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry (Emeritus) at Stanford University and a practicing psychoanalyst, draws on the tremendous wealth of information available about van Gogh, to explore his personal conflicts in the context of the forces that molded him: familial, historical, cultural, religious, artistic, and literary. Dr. Lubin approaches van Gogh not as a mysterious mix of sick eccentric and martyred artist, but as a complete man who transformed his suffering into a phenomenal body of work. Lubin's daring psychological insights and art criticism allow us to better understand, and more fully appreciate, van Gogh's artistic triumph over his inner torment.
