Download or read book El Greco written by Rebecca J. Long and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visually stunning examination of El Greco’s work that considers the artist’s constant reinvention and professional drive Renowned for a singular artistic vision, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco (1541–1614), developed his distinctive painting style as he assiduously pursued professional success. This fresh and engaging survey of El Greco’s work explores varied aspects of the artist’s career—his aesthetic education in Italy, the mixed reception of his mature works in Spain, his uncompromising approach to business, and the baroque logistics of his Toledo workshop—and reveals the depth of El Greco’s astounding ambition. The impressive volume focuses in particular on his 1577–79 altarpiece paintings for the Church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo—among them the magnificent Assumption of the Virgin—which heralded the artist’s arrival in Spain after productive periods of formation and re-formation in Crete, Venice, and Rome. Lavishly illustrated and clothbound with gilded edges, this publication features reproductions and scholarly discussions of more than 60 works ranging from large-scale canvases to intimate panels, with essays that elucidate the motives and meanings behind the artist’s constantly changing and inventive approach.

Download or read book Al oeste del mito written by Sánchez Esbilla, Adrián and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: América pronto se dio cuenta de su valor mítico. La historia transfiguró en leyenda y los hechos se diluyeron en el relato. La conquista del territorio, el avance de la civilización, los hombres y las mujeres de la frontera en expansión cuyos nombres y hazañas, por lo común violentas, pasaron a constituir una verdad contada. El wéstern, versión en movimiento de las dime novels, significó la primera experiencia del cinematógrafo con el espacio abierto y se convirtió en la maquinaria a través de la cual se transmitía el relato mítico de la fundación. Género americano, el wéstern se fue oscureciendo en el reflejo tanto de su tiempo presente como del histórico que recrea. La estilización dejó paso a la introspección, la emoción de la aventura, a la melancolía de la pérdida. El wéstern se convirtió en un modo, ético y estético, de estar y contar un país. Un paseo por las estaciones del wéstern y una antología de 50 títulos componen esta aproximación a un género que, en sí mismo, sintetiza lo cinematográfico: el gesto y el movimiento.

Download or read book Mision en el camino written by Charles E. Van Engen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante los pasados cincuenta años, el énfasis sobre la práctica y estrategia de la obra misionera ha menoscabado el valor de la importancia de la teología de la misión. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas teólogos y misiólogos de todas las tradiciones cristianas han comenzado a reexaminar y repensar las suposiciones teológicas que fundamentan la obra misionera. En Misión en el Camino Charles Van Engen articula con claridad muchos de los conceptos fundamentales de la teología de la misión. Charles Van Engen, en este volumen, aborda numerosos temas misiológicos centrales. Examina la cuestión de construir teologías en contextos específicos, tales como en la ciudad. También nos muestra tanto los beneficios como las preocupaciones que experimentamos cuando alentamos a los creyentes a teologizar dentro de su propio entorno, cuando tomamos con seriedad el sacerdocio de todos los creyentes. Hace un delineamiento de los debates actuales sobre asuntos levantados por el pluralismo religioso, y batalla con la manera en que podemos proclamar el carácter único de Cristo, sin ser arrogantes y triunfalistas. Echa una mirada al impacto que la modernidad y la posmodernidad están teniendo sobre el movimiento misionero en Occidente, y hace un llamado a la renovación de nuestro compromiso como seguidores de Jesucristo en los duros ambientes culturales de nuestros días. Explora los roles cambiantes de misioneros y ministros en iglesias jóvenes, y levanta preguntas difíciles relacionadas con la unidad de la iglesia en medio de su proliferación, diversidad y fragmentación de carácter global. Son de excepcional valor, la manera en que Van Engen traza la historia de la discusión reciente sobre cada uno de estos asuntos y la riqueza de fuentes bibliográficas que nos presenta para más estudio. Igualmente, importantes son las repuestas que él ofrece a estas cuestiones, respuestas que nos ayudan a movernos más allá de los caminos sin salida que tanto caracterizan nuestro pensamiento actual.
