Download or read book The Icon Curtain written by Yuliya Komska and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iron Curtain did not exist—at least not as we usually imagine it. Rather than a stark, unbroken line dividing East and West in Cold War Europe, the Iron Curtain was instead made up of distinct landscapes, many in the grip of divergent historical and cultural forces for decades, if not centuries. This book traces a genealogy of one such landscape—the woods between Czechoslovakia and West Germany—to debunk our misconceptions about the iconic partition. Yuliya Komska transports readers to the western edge of the Bohemian Forest, one of Europe’s oldest borderlands, where in the 1950s civilians set out to shape the so-called prayer wall. A chain of new and repurposed pilgrimage sites, lookout towers, and monuments, the prayer wall placed two long-standing German obsessions, forest and border, at the heart of the century’s most protracted conflict. Komska illustrates how civilians used the prayer wall to engage with and contribute to the new political and religious landscape. In the process, she relates West Germany’s quiet sylvan periphery to the tragic pitch prevalent along the Iron Curtain’s better-known segments. Steeped in archival research and rooted in nuanced interpretations of wide-ranging cultural artifacts, from vandalized religious images and tourist snapshots to poems and travelogues, The Icon Curtain pushes disciplinary boundaries and opens new perspectives on the study of borders and the Cold War alike.

Download or read book Radiance and Symbolism in Modern Stained Glass written by Liana De Girolami Cheney and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the aesthetic, symbolic, and cultural concepts of radiance and beauty in stained glass in modern art; global exchanges between stained-glass artists in Europe and the Americas; and the transformation of stained glass from religious decoration to secular material culture. Unique features of the book include its geographic breadth, encompassing England, France, Italy, USA, and Mexico, and its inclusion of American female glassmakers. Essays consider how stained glass became an art form during this time, and show how the narrative for the figurative design drew from the Bible, mythology, history, literature, and the symbolism of the time, including popular culture such as ecology and materiality. Written for students and the general public interested in the humanities, literature, history, art history, and new media and popular culture, this book examines the visual beauty and symbolism of stained-glass windows in Europe and American cultures during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – the modern era.

Download or read book Ed Carpenter written by and published by L'Arcaedizioni. This book was released on 2000 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Each of Ed Carpenter's installations is an emotional intervention into the architecture, intrinsic to the space while also an artistic overlay. His art re-interprets the space, creating sub-texts and spatial complexity, using varieties of scale, color, light, material and depth to articulate his response to each place. Working in glass, aluminium, stainless steel, cables and computer-controlled lighting, his vocabulary blends seamlessly into the language of architecture. Each piece seems to grow from its place, reach for the light, and breath its own life. The imagery evoked is simultaneously technological and biological, engineered and expressive. This book presents the portion of Carpenter's work which is specifically concerned with light and architectural sculpture, leaving for another effort a number of projects, such as bridges and urban sculptures, which have other primary concerns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
