Download or read book Vision and design written by Roger Fry and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vision and Design" est une collection d'essais écrits par l'historien de l'art et critique Roger Fry, publiée en 1920. Ce recueil est une exploration de l'esthétique et de la théorie de l'art, où Fry propose une nouvelle manière d'apprécier et de comprendre l'art visuel. Roger Fry, figure centrale du mouvement post-impressionniste, utilise ses essais pour défendre et expliquer l'importance de l'art moderne. Il soutient que l'art ne doit pas être jugé uniquement par sa représentation fidèle de la réalité, mais par sa capacité à évoquer des émotions et des idées par le biais de la forme, de la couleur et de la composition. Les principaux thèmes abordés dans "Vision and Design" incluent : La Défense de l'Art Moderne : Fry explique pourquoi les œuvres des artistes modernes, tels que Cézanne, Matisse et Picasso, sont révolutionnaires. Il insiste sur l'importance de l'innovation et de l'expression individuelle dans l'art. La Théorie de la Forme : Fry introduit sa théorie selon laquelle l'art est une combinaison de formes abstraites qui transmettent des émotions. Il souligne que l'organisation des formes et des couleurs sur une toile est essentielle pour l'impact émotionnel de l'œuvre. L'Art et l'Emotion : Fry explore comment l'art influence les émotions du spectateur. Il affirme que l'art est un moyen de communication émotionnelle et doit être évalué en fonction de sa capacité à toucher et à inspirer le spectateur. L'Influence de la Culture : Dans ses essais, Fry examine l'impact de différentes cultures sur l'art. Il étudie l'art africain et asiatique, démontrant comment ces traditions ont influencé les artistes européens et ont enrichi la palette de l'art occidental. Critiques et Réflexions sur les Expositions : Fry critique et analyse diverses expositions d'art de son époque, offrant des perspectives éclairantes sur les tendances artistiques et les œuvres spécifiques présentées. En somme, "Vision and Design" est une œuvre clé pour comprendre l'esthétique moderne et la pensée critique de Roger Fry. Il propose une nouvelle manière d'appréhender l'art, en mettant l'accent sur l'innovation, l'expression personnelle et l'impact émotionnel des œuvres d'art. Ce recueil reste une lecture essentielle pour les amateurs d'art et les étudiants en histoire de l'art.

Download or read book Talking Cure written by Paula Marantz Cohen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invigorating exploration of the pleasures and social benefits of conversation Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities. She discusses the role of food in encouraging conversation, the challenges of writing dialogue in fiction, the pros and cons of Zoom, the relationship of conversation to vaudeville acts, and the educational value of a good college seminar where students learn to talk about ideas. Cohen looks at some of the famous groups of writers and artists in history whose conversation fed their creativity, and details some of the habits that can result in bad conversation. Blending the immediacy of a beautifully crafted memoir with the conviviality of an intimate gathering with friends, Talking Cure makes a persuasive case for the civilizing value of conversation and is essential reading for anyone interested in the chatter that fuels culture.

Download or read book Literary Objets D art written by Linda M. Clemente and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genesis of this book was the coincidence of two readings: Virgil's Aeneid and Dante's Purgatorio. Each work includes descriptions of art objects, Daedalus' and God's artwork respectively. These descriptions, or ekphraseis, also occur frequently in Old French romances. Too long considered as embellishment or artistic virtuosity, they have received little rigorous critical attention. This book offers a step in that direction by analyzing the narrative significance of art objects in three very different works: the anonymous Eneas, Chrétien de Troyes' Erec et Enide, and Jean Renart's Escoufle. Along with intertextuality and mise en abyme, ekphrasis opens new avenues for interpreting this literature.
