Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogo della mostra presso il Museo Civico di Taverna, dal 25 marzo al 3 maggio 2015. Caravaggio in Calabria, durante la sua breve vita, non c’è mai stato; tanto meno ci sono opere sue. Arriva adesso, per la prima volta un suo capolavoro: il San Giovanni della Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica di Palazzo Corsini; ed è grazie all’impegno e alla dedizione di un calabrese a Roma, Giorgio Leone, direttore della Galleria Corsini che ha proposto questa importante testimonianza, ormai qualche anno fa, in seno al Comitato per le celebrazioni del IV Centenario della nascita di Mattia Preti, da me presieduto. I tempi sono favorevoli, mentre l’attenzione è concentrata sull’Expo di Milano, perché una delle opere più intense ed essenziali del pittore lombardo lasci Roma per raggiungere le pendici della Sila Piccola e arrivare a Taverna, città natale dell’ultimo grande emulo di Caravaggio, il Cavalier calabrese Mattia Preti. Dalla presentazione di Vittorio Sgarbi
Download or read book Interpreting Art in Museums and Galleries written by Christopher Whitehead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering book, Christopher Whitehead provides an overview and critique of art interpretation practices in museums and galleries. Covering the philosophy and sociology of art, traditions in art history and art display, the psychology of the aesthetic experience and ideas about learning and communication, Whitehead advances major theoretical frameworks for understanding interpretation from curators’ and visitors’ perspectives. Although not a manual, the book is deeply practical. It presents extensively researched European and North American case studies involving interviews with professionals engaged in significant cutting-edge interpretation projects. Finally, it sets out the ethical and political responsibilities of institutions and professionals engaged in art interpretation. Exploring the theoretical and practical dimensions of art interpretation in accessible language, this book covers: The construction of art by museums and galleries, in the form of collections, displays, exhibition and discourse; The historical and political dimensions of art interpretation; The functioning of narrative, categories and chronologies in art displays; Practices, discourses and problems surrounding the interpretation of historical and contemporary art; Visitor experiences and questions of authorship and accessibility; The role of exhibition texts, new interpretive technologies and live interpretation in art museum and gallery contexts. Thoroughly researched with immediately practical applications, Interpreting Art in Museums and Galleries will inform the practices of art curators and those studying the subject.
Download or read book Buying Baroque written by Edgar Peters Bowron and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Americans have shown interest in Italian Baroque art since the eighteenth century—Thomas Jefferson bought copies of works by Salvator Rosa and Guido Reni for his art gallery at Monticello, and the seventeenth-century Bolognese school was admired by painters Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley—a widespread appetite for it only took hold in the early to mid-twentieth century. Buying Baroque tells this history through the personalities involved and the culture of collecting in the United States. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine the dealers, auction houses, and commercial galleries that provided access to Baroque paintings, as well as the collectors, curators, and museum directors who acquired and shaped American perceptions about these works, including Charles Eliot Norton, John W. Ringling, A. Everett Austin Jr., and Samuel H. Kress. These essays explore aesthetic trends and influences to show why Americans developed an increasingly sophisticated taste for Baroque art between the late eighteenth century and the 1920s, and they trace the fervent peak of interest during the 1950s and 1960s. A wide-ranging, in-depth look at the collecting of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian paintings in America, this volume sheds new light on the cultural conditions that led collectors to value Baroque art and the significant effects of their efforts on America’s greatest museums and galleries. In addition to the editor, contributors include Andrea Bayer, Virginia Brilliant, Andria Derstine, Marco Grassi, Ian Kennedy, J. Patrice Marandel, Pablo Pérez d’Ors, Richard E. Spear, and Eric M. Zafran.
