  • Author : Pamela H. Smith
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2018-01-16
  • ISBN : 0226764265
  • Pages : 402 pages

Download or read book The Body of the Artisan written by Pamela H. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Aristotle, the making of knowledge and the making of objects have generally been considered separate enterprises. Yet during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the two became linked through a "new" philosophy known as science. In The Body of the Artisan, Pamela H. Smith demonstrates how much early modern science owed to an unlikely source-artists and artisans. From goldsmiths to locksmiths and from carpenters to painters, artists and artisans were much sought after by the new scientists for their intimate, hands-on knowledge of natural materials and the ability to manipulate them. Drawing on a fascinating array of new evidence from northern Europe including artisans' objects and their writings, Smith shows how artisans saw all knowledge as rooted in matter and nature. With nearly two hundred images, The Body of the Artisan provides astonishingly vivid examples of this Renaissance synergy among art, craft, and science, and recovers a forgotten episode of the Scientific Revolution-an episode that forever altered the way we see the natural world.

Book Martin Schongauer

Download or read book Martin Schongauer written by Max Lehrs and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Schongauer (ca. 1450?1491) was the greatest Northern European printmaker of his time. A painter by training, he elevated engraving from a minor off-shoot of the goldsmith?s craft to a popular and prestigious art. His technical and artistic achievements opened the way to many followers, first and foremost Albrecht Durer. Max Lehrs?s authoritative catalogue of Schongauer?s prints was first published in 1925, as part of his encyclopedic treatise on the early engravers of northern Europe, and has long been out of print. For each engraving in Schongauer?s oeuvre, the catalogue provides a detailed description of the engraving, its variant states (if any), lists of impressions and watermarks, a discussion and bibliography of previous research, and a listing of engraved copies and other artwork inspired by the engraving. The catalogue distinguishes several grades of quality among the impressions, and notes the different watermarks represented by each grade, a major aide in the dating of the prints, and an invaluable tool to the art historian and collector.This volume presents the first English edition of the catalogue, adding reproductions of all the engravings and of their major variant states. Introductions by AlanShestack (1969) and Charles Minott (1971) are included, which present advances in Schongauer scholarship since Lehrs.The catalogue is followed by an illustrated list of watermarks, a list of copies and forgeries misattributed to Schongauer by earlier scholars, a list of collections mentioned in the text, and an index of the engravings.

Book excerpt: First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.

Book The Practice of Theory

    Book Details:
  • Author : Keith Moxey
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2018-07-05
  • ISBN : 1501729020
  • Pages : 172 pages

Download or read book The Practice of Theory written by Keith Moxey and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many art historians regard poststructuralist theory with suspicion; some even see its focus on the political dimension of language as hostile to an authentic study of the past. Keith Moxey bridges the gap between historical and theoretical approaches with the provocative argument that we cannot have one without the other. "If art history is to take part in the processes of cultural transformation that characterize our society," he writes, "then its historical narratives must come to terms with the most powerful and influential theories that currently determine the way in which we conceive of ourselves." After exploring how the insights offered by deconstruction and semiotics change our understanding of representation, ideology, and authorship, Moxey himself puts theory into practice. In a series of engaging essays accompanied by twenty-eight illustrations, he first examines the impact of cultural values on Erwin Panofsky's writings. Taking a fresh look at work by artists from Albrecht Dürer and Erhard Schön to Barbara Kruger and Julian Schnabel, he then examines the process by which he generic boundaries between "high" and "low" art have helped to sustain class and gender differences. Making particular reference to the literature on Martin Schongauer, Moxey also considers the value of art history when it is reduced to artist's biography. Moxey's interpretation of the work of Hieronymus Bosch not only reassesses its intelligence and imagination, but also brings to light its pragmatic conformity to elite definitions of artistic "genius." With his compelling analysis of the politics of interpretation, Moxey draws attention to a vital aspect of the cultural importance of history.

Book Heidegger and the Work of Art History

Download or read book Heidegger and the Work of Art History written by Amanda Boetzkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger and the Work of Art History explores the impact and future possibilities of Heidegger?s philosophy for art history and visual culture in the twenty-first century. Scholars from the fields of art history, visual and material studies, design, philosophy, aesthetics and new media pursue diverse lines of thinking that have departed from Heidegger?s work in order to foster compelling new accounts of works of art and their historicity. This collected book of essays also shows how studies in the history and theory of the visual enrich our understanding of Heidegger?s philosophy. In addition to examining the philosopher's lively collaborations with art historians, and how his longstanding engagement with the visual arts influenced his conceptualization of history, the essays in this volume consider the ontological and ethical implications of our encounters with works of art, the visual techniques that form worlds, how to think about ?things? beyond human-centred relationships, the moods, dispositions, and politics of art?s history, and the terms by which we might rethink aesthetic judgment and the interpretation of the visible world, from the early modern period to the present day.
