Book excerpt: L'image symbolique a souvent été déclinée en signes ou encore en emblèmes si ce n'est en marques. Le signe désigne l'origine ou l'auteur d'un artefact et il est proche en cela de la marque. L'emblème, quant à lui, est un signe de reconnaissance à l'origine individuel, familial ou tribal avant de devenir national. Le sens accordé au mot symbole dans cet ouvrage est celui de figuration synthétique d'une idée, d'un concept, d'une notion, de sa "quintessence " pourrait-on dire. Le symbole de la croix par exemple, bien antérieur au christianisme et non pas signe de reconnaissance entre membres d'une même communauté religieuse si ce n'est objet prophylactique, est une image de l'axe indispensable à l'équilibre du monde. Il représente l'univers, les quatre points cardinaux mais aussi la jonction entre le " monde d'en haut " et celui d'" en bas ". L'inconscient humain est rempli d'images symboliques. Nous ne savons pas forcément les reconnaître et leur donner un sens. Tout pourtant est un langage qu'il faut apprendre à entendre, à écouter constamment. Il est donc éclairant de suivre pas à pas l'élaboration des symboles, de les regarder à leur point de départ pour suivre leur diffusion et la façon dont ils ont été perçus. Mais la " lecture d'un symbole ne passe pas par la " conscience immédiate ". Si le sens de la figuration échappe à la compréhension, c'est parce qu'il s'agit au départ d'une forme d'écriture réservée aux initiés. Pour comprendre le sens premier des symboles et suivre leurs mutations, il fallait un livre comportant plusieurs centaines de dessins accompagnés d'un texte sobre, indiquant seulement au voyageur des points de repère à travers les traditions de l'Orient et de l'Occident comme de l'Afrique et des Amériques. Rien n'y est imposé du dehors, mais le regard est guidé par un bref commentaire. Le lecteur peut ainsi suivre l'évolution des symboles dans leur structure primitive, puis dans leurs utilisations en signes, en marques ou encore en emblèmes.

Book excerpt: This book is for art market researchers at all levels. A brief overview of the global art market and its major stakeholders precedes an analysis of the various sales venues (auction, commercial gallery, etc.). Library research skills are reviewed, and advanced methods are explored in a chapter devoted to basic market research. Because the monetary value of artwork cannot be established without reference to the aesthetic qualities and art historical significance of our subject works, two substantial chapters detail the processes involved in researching and documenting the fine and decorative arts, respectively, and provide annotated bibliographies. Methods for assigning values for art objects are explored, and sources of price data, both in print and online, are identified and described in detail. In recent years, art historical scholarship increasingly has addressed issues related to the history of art and its markets: a chapter on resources for the historian of the art market offers a wide range of sources. Finally, provenance and art law are discussed, with particular reference to their relevance to dealers, collectors, artists and other art market stakeholders.
Download or read book Uses and Abuses of Moses written by Theodore Ziolkowski and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Uses and Abuses of Moses, Theodore Ziolkowski surveys the major literary treatments of the biblical figure of Moses since the Enlightenment. Beginning with the influential treatments by Schiller and Goethe, for whom Moses was, respectively, a member of a mystery cult and a violent murderer, Ziolkowski examines an impressive array of dramas, poems, operas, novels, and films to show the many ways in which the charismatic figure of Moses has been exploited—the “uses and abuses” of the title—to serve a variety of ideological and cultural purposes. Ziolkowski’s wide-ranging and in-depth study compares and analyzes the attempts by nearly one hundred writers to fill in the gaps in the biblical account of Moses’ life and to explain his motivation as a leader, lawgiver, and prophet. As Ziolkowski richly demonstrates, Moses’ image has been affected by historical factors such as the Egyptomania of the 1820s, the revolutionary movements of the mid-nineteenth century, the early move toward black liberation in the United States, and critical biblical scholarship of the late nineteenth century before, in the twentieth century, being appropriated by Marxists, Socialists, Nazis, and Freudians. The majority of the works studied are by Austro-German and Anglo-American writers, but Ziolkowski also includes significant examples of works from Hungary, Sweden, Norway, the Ukraine, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, and France. The figure of Moses becomes an animate seismograph, in Ziolkowski’s words, through whose literary reception we can trace many of the shifts in the cultural landscape of the past two centuries.
