Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Can we achieve the magic of reflecting on the ‘law of the future’ through works of art, and vice versa? The answer is yes – when experience and skill converge with creativity and luck. Compliance and privacy, principles of law and secrets of the legal profession, innovation, and technology blend with the colours on canvasses, the shapes of sculptures, the notes of musical compositions and instruments, and the verses of poems and songs. Following on from The Art of Privacy, this new book by Luca Bolognini explores the rules of the law from a perspective never seen before: the legal landscape morphs into masterpieces by Klimt, Tintoretto, Kandinsky, and so on. Perusing this collection of 53 reflections – written one at a time, each week over the course of a year – gives the reader a feeling of being fortunate: metaphors and associations of ideas are etched onto the page with the same rush of joy as capturing a dream upon waking, before it slips away. A good read, for a beautiful imagination.” Passi di: Luca Bolognini. “Painted Privacy”. Apple Books.
Download or read book Watching Paint Dry written by John Burbidge and published by Hphr. This book was released on 2012 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Burbidge has aimed his brush, roller, and spray gun at everything from ritzy mansions to trashy trailers. He's gone underground to paint sewage-treatment plants and risked death to paint factory ceilings. He has no doubt inhaled enough noxious dust and paint fumes to shorten his life. But he's not dead yet. And the captivating characters he has encountered along the way have more than offset the toils of painting for a living. Ex-cons, addicts, drifting college grads, even a guy with a hole in his head-that's your typical paint crew, bonded only by the fact that they're caught in a job society thinks is for simpletons. In Watching Paint Dry, John Burbidge scrapes beneath the surface of painting's reputation for monotony while intimately portraying the men and women who craft the backdrop to our civilization. "Informative, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking . . . this is a book you will want to recommend to everyone you know." --Sharon Barrett, Chicago Sun-Times book critic for 28 years
Download or read book The art of privacy written by Luca Bolognini and published by Rubbettino Editore. This book was released on 2022-04-05T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Titian and Leonardo da Vinci have to do with privacy and (non-) compliance with rules in the era of digital data and algorithms? What do Canaletto’s and Guardi’s vedute have to do with due diligence, or Pietro Longhi’s rooms with smart working? What connects a 16th Century court artist and a 21st Century Data Protection Officer? Can a painter be entirely artificial and non-human, and can a still life be made up – instead of flowers, wildfowl, and bottles – of hardware, software, and obsolete documents? Is an electronic work of art just art or can it hide, or even constitute in and of itself, valid legal titles? Is a copy – of a painting or a legal document – always a forgery and an objectionable offence? In this engaging exploration, which spans centuries of art from its most ancient forms to today’s crypto art, the author – a data protection lawyer and collector – takes us on an extraordinary metaphorical journey, interweaving the sense of beauty and the common sense of regulations, compliance and creativity, the aesthetics of innovation and of penalties. 75 years after Carnelutti’s Art of Law, The Art of Privacy is a unique book that already promises to become a classic of legal literature in years to come. It succeeds in providing the “key of imagination” for scholars, legal consultants, and business managers to free themselves from their specialist cages, while also intriguing and challenging digital art enthusiasts.

Download or read book Dutch Seventeenth century Genre Painting written by Wayne E. Franits and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appealing genre paintings of great seventeenth-century Dutch artists - Vermeer, Steen, de Hooch, Dou and others - have long enjoyed tremendous popularity. This comprehensive book explores the evolution of genre painting throughout the Dutch Golden Age, beginning in the early 1600s and continuing through the opening years of the next century. Wayne Franits, a well-known scholar of Dutch genre painting, offers a wealth of information about these works as well as about seventeenth-century Dutch culture, its predilections and its prejudices. The author approaches genre paintings from a variety of perspectives, examining their reception among contemporary audiences and setting the works in their political, cultural and economic contexts. The works emerge as distinctly conventional images, Franits shows, as genre artists continually replicated specific styles, motifs and a surprisingly restricted number of themes over the course of several generations. Luxuriously illustrated and with a full representation of the major artists and the cities where genre painting flourished, this book will delight students, scholars and general readers alike.

Download or read book Everyday Joys in Twenty First Century Queer American Painting written by David Deutsch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken together, the chapters in this book outline a theory and a practice of painting ecstatic ordinarinesses in contemporary, diverse American queer life. To do so, it offers the first sustained study of five individually renowned twenty-first-century queer painters—Gio Black Peter, Doron Langberg, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Salman Toor, and João Gabriel—who have achieved substantial recognition from international museums, galleries, and critics working with short-form reviews but not yet from academics producing large-scale studies. This study argues for a broad understanding of what constitutes the queer American art of our time and for a broad sense of who can help to fashion American culture and history, including art by African American, Southeast Asian, Muslim and Jewish American, South American, and gender nonconforming queer artists. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, gender studies, and queer studies.
Download or read book Women Readers in French Painting 1870 890 written by Kathryn Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first monograph to examine the depiction of reading women in French art of the early Third Republic, Women Readers in French Painting 1870-1890 evaluates the pictorial significance of this imagery, its critical reception, and its impact on notions of femininity and social relations. Covering a broad range of paintings, prints, and sculptures, this book shows how the liseuse was subjected to unprecedented levels of pictorial innovation by artists with widely differing aesthetic aims and styles. Depictions of readers are interpreted as contributions to changing notions of public and private life, female agency, and women's participation in cultural and political debates beyond the domestic household. This highly original book explores images of women readers from a range of social classes in both urban and rural settings. Such images are shown to have articulated concerns about the impact of female literacy on labour environments and family life while, in many cases, challenging conventions of gendered reading. Kathryn Brown also presents an alternative way of conceiving of modernity in relation to nineteenth-century art, a methodological departure from much recent art historical literature. Artists discussed range from Manet, Cassatt and Degas, to less familiar figures such as Lavieille, Carri?, Toulmouche and Tissot.
Download or read book Body Work written by Peter Brooks and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to know the body is a powerful dynamic of storytelling in all its forms. Peter Brooks argues that modern narrative is intent on uncovering the body in order to expose a truth that must be written in the flesh. In a book that ranges widely through literature and painting, Brooks shows how the imagination strives to bring the body into language and to write stories on the body. From Rousseau, Balzac, Mary Shelley, and Flaubert, to George Eliot, Zola, Henry James, and Marguerite Duras, from Manet and Gauguin to Mapplethorpe, writers and artists have returned in fascination to the body, the inescapable other of the spirit. Brooks's deep understanding of psychoanalysis informs his demonstration of how the "epistemophilic urge"--the desire to know-guides fictional plots and our reading of them. It is the sexual body that furnishes the building blocks of symbolization, eventually of language itself-which then takes us away from the body. Yet mind and language need to recover the body, as an other realm that is primary to their very definition. Brooks shows how and why the female body has become the field upon which the aspirations, anxieties, and contradictions of a whole society are played out. And he suggests how writers and artists have found in the woman's body the dynamic principle of their storytelling, its motor force. This major book entertains and teaches: Brooks presumes no special knowledge on the part of his readers. His account proceeds chronologically from Rousseau in the eighteenth century forward to contemporary artists and writers. Body Work gives us a set of analytical tools and ideas-primarily from psychoanalysis, narrative and film studies, and feminist theory-that enable us to read modern narrative afresh.
