Book excerpt: 1904 in San Francisco geboren, verlässt Raimondo Puccinelli im Jahr 1960 Amerika, um sich in Italien nieder zu lassen. Bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1986 lebt und arbeitet er in Florenz. In dem Werk des Sohnes italienischer Auswanderer verschmilzt auf einzigartige Weise die Kultur des Landes seiner Geburt mit der seiner Vorfahren. Auch wenn Zeichnung und Plastik seine bevorzugten Medien waren, blieb Puccinelli stets ein Grenzgänger zwischen den unterschiedlichen Sprachen der Künste und den vielfältigen Ausdrucksformen der Kulturen. Sein Werk vereint zahlreiche Einflüsse. Prägend waren vor allem seine Begegnungen mit Max Beckmann und Oskar Kokoschka und die gemeinsame Präsentation seiner Werke mit denen Ernst Barlachs und Wilhelm Lehmbrucks in New York. Der Katalog zeigt über 160 zum Teil unveröffentlichte Arbeiten und ist die bisher umfangreichste Darstellung zum Werk Raimondo Puccinellis.0Exhibition: Schloss Cappenberg, Unna, Germany (21.4.-21.7.2013).

Download or read book House of Eternity written by John K. McDonald and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-11-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nefertari, the favorite queen of Rameses II, was buried about 3,200 years ago in the most exquisitely decorated tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. Discovered in 1904 by Italian explorer Ernesto Schiaparelli, the tomb had deteriorated to a disastrous extent when emergency consolidation began in 1986. The six-year conservation project of the GCI and the Egyptian Antiquities Organization was completed in 1992. In this fascinating exploration of the tomb, John McDonald takes the reader through each chamber, describing the hieroglyphic messages depicted in the brilliant wall paintings and discussing the images within the context of Egyptian beliefs. He also offers insights into the life of Nefertari, the development and symbolism of royal tombs, and the construction and decoration of the tombs. House of Eternity is illustrated with historic black-and-white images and more recent color photographs that reveal the vibrant beauty of the wall paintings. In November 1995 the tomb was reopened to the public. Because of the potential for damage and deterioration to the fragile wall paintings caused by increased humidity, carbon dioxide, and microbiological activity introduced by visitors to the tomb, the number permitted to enter daily is strictly controlled by the Egyptian authorities. This book results from a desire of the GCI to enrich visitors' experience by providing a detailed descriptive walk-through of the tomb while conveying a strong message regarding the need for conservation and continuous monitoring to ensure the long-term survival of the tomb's paintings. Visitors to the tomb and the armchair traveler alike will find House of Eternity to be an excellent resource for understanding Nefertari's journey to the afterlife and for appreciating the extraordinary depictions of that journey on the walls of Nefertari's tomb.

Download or read book Tanagras written by Violaine Jeammet and published by Musee Du Louvre. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named for the city in Greece where they were first discovered in the 1870s, Tanagra statuettes are an elegant example of ancient Greek terra-cotta sculpture from the fourth and third centuries BC. Mainly found in tombs in this city, the small statuettes take many forms, mainly girls but also young men, children, old women, and sometimes deities. In Athens, they were also used in sacred contexts and are believed to have had a religious significance. The "tanagrean" style spread all throughout the Mediterranean basin. Today, the Louvre houses one of the world's largest and most complete collections of Tanagra figurines. This stunning exhibition catalog is the most current publication in English devoted to the Tanagras. Showcasing the Louvre's prestigious collection of figurines, Tanagras includes new research carried out by the world's leading scholars of Hellenistic art and culture. The essays examine the meaning and purpose of the statuettes in Ancient Greece and the artistic and technical skill involved in the making of such handicraft. Tanagras presents a beautiful and informed look at one of the masterly achievements of classical Greek art.

Book excerpt: From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn and weathered from their walk."--The Washington Post Moved by his mother's death and his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith--Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter's Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium. A thrilling journey, a family story, and a revealing history, A Pilgrimage to Eternity looks for our future in its search for God.
