Download or read book La escultura negra y otros escritos written by Carl Einstein and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Carl Einstein's three most important texts on African art are joined together in this critical edition. Negro Sculpture, published in 1915, is the first theoretical text to take African art seriously on par with other modern art movements. The 1920 essay Afrikanische Plastik constitutes the author's initial thoughts on the topic. Finally, À propos de l'Exposition de la Galerie Pigalle, originally published in French, is an authentic survey of Einstein's ethnological knowledge. Esta edición crítica, al cuidado de Liliane Meffre, experta investigadora y traductora de la obra de Carl Einstein ofrece, reunidos por primera vez, los tres textos más importantes de este autor sobre arte africano. La escultura negra (Negerplastik), publicado en 1915 en Leipzig, es el primer texto teórico que confiere al arte africano un estatuto de arte de primer rango.Como dice Liliane Meffre, este ensayo, denso e innovador, que abre caminos inexplorados, sigue siendo hoy una de las obras maestras del siglo XX que debe leerse y comprenderse como un manifiesto a favor del arte moderno, más concretamente del cubismo. Complementa dicho texto una erudita investigación, de Ezio Bassani y Jean-Louis Paudrat sobre la iconografía de la edición original. De La escultura africana (Afrikanische Plastik) publicado en Berlín en 1920, se ofrece un fragmento inicial que resume el pensamiento del autor sobre el tema. Por último, A próposito de la exposición de la Galerie Pigalle, París 1930, publicado originalmente en francés, constituye un auténtico alarde de los conocimientos etnológicos del autor.
Download or read book Les Demoiselles d Avignon and Modernism written by Maite Méndez Baiges and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book meticulously analyses the history of the critical reception of avantguard art through the interpretations received by one of its greatest emblems, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Picasso, 1907. Since Les Demoiselles has been considered over this century the true paradigm of Modern Art, this book is, fundamentally, a sort of synthesis of the discourses about Modernism from formalism, iconology, Leo Steinberg's 'Other Criteria’, sociological, the biographical and psychoanalytical theses, cultural and historicist and lastly, the impact of post-structuralism and the feminist, post-colonialist and transnational interpretations. The final chapter deals with the artistic versions of Les Demoiselles d'Avignonmade by artists. It is an essay on the different versions and identities of Modern Art and Modernism that have been produced throughout the last century.

Download or read book Colonial Heritage Power and Contestation written by Camila Andrea Malig Jedlicki and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent debates about the return of colonially looted heritage have furthered the discussions on decolonisation around the world, and have reignited questions surrounding “what is, and who owns, cultural heritage”. These discourses in the meaning, production and management of heritage – with a growing presence of themes that address “Latinities” – have gained greater visibility in Latin America and the Caribbean, as challenges surrounding cultural heritage arise more prominently worldwide. The attention on this region aims to contextualise the various theoretical, empirical, and critical perspectives in relation to the negotiation of decolonisation. Hence, this book focuses on the analysis of diverse modes of confronting the power underlying colonial heritage that can contribute to pushing boundaries and persuading changes in pre-established definitions of political thought and local identities. To this end, the chapters in this book focus on a wide scope of topics, ranging from the repatriation and restitution of cultural heritage, and diasporic movements to decolonial practices around monuments, museums, and education. In so doing, this volume challenges stereotypes that made Latin America and the Caribbean a space of mere reproducibility of external ideas, and instead provides a space to show current decolonial perspectives and practices developed in the region that will enrich the international debate on the contestation of colonial legacies and decolonisation of cultural heritage.
