Book excerpt: - The first book to celebrate great artists who died before their time- Unique insight into the lives, work and deaths of some of history's most tragic artists- A richly illustrated resource, featuring many great names of art, including Masaccio, Basquiat, Schiele, Murayama, Anguissola, Girtin, Boty and moreDesperately Young introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday. Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Informative biographies detail their legacies, while their tragic deaths lead us to wonder what heights they might've reached, had their lives not been cut short. Richly illustrated, Desperately Young presents prime examples of each artist's work, demonstrating how our cultural heritage is just a little narrower for their loss. From Europe to America to Japan and the Indian Subcontinent, the mid14-hundreds to the late 20th century, this book hails the acknowledged greats and introduces those who died before they could leave an indelible mark on history. A compendium of 111 artists who fell prey to sickness, warfare, heartbreak or bad luck, Desperately Young is the only book to provide an in-depth study of artists who died young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glanzvolle Abbilder vergangener Zeiten Die Gemälde von Lawrence Alma-Tadema waren bei seinen Zeitgenossen sehr beliebt und leben heute noch durch das Medium Film weiter. Jeder, der einmal einen Monumentalfilm - von den italienischen Stummfilmklassikern bis zu Ridley Scotts Gladiator - gesehen hat, erkennt sofort die von Alma-Tadema inspirierten Arrangements und Kostüme. Das Buch zeigt seine üppigen und detailreichen Werke und erklärt seine Kunst über seine Vorstellung vom Heim neu: von seiner Bewunderung für die in den frühen niederländischen Gemälden dargestellten Interieurs über seine Faszination für die Ruinen von Pompeji bis zu den großen Atelierhäusern, die er selbst schuf und die an sich schon Kunstwerke sind. Aufbauend auf Alma-Tademas Beinamen "Künstlerarchäologe" zeigt dieses beeindruckende Werk, wie die von ihm geschaffenen Räume, in denen er mit seiner Familie lebte, eine ästhetische Vision dessen darstellen, was die Betrachter und anderen Künstler seit mehr als hundert Jahren fasziniert.
Download or read book Historical Narratives of Global Modern Art written by Irina D. Costache and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversifying the current art historical scholarship, this edited volume presents the untold story of modern art by exposing global voices and perspectives excluded from the privileged and uncontested narrative of “isms.” This volume tells a worldwide story of art with expanded historical narratives of modernism. The chapters reflect on a wide range of issues, topics, and themes that have been marginalized or outright excluded from the canon of modern art. The goal of this book is to be a starting point for understanding modern art as a broad and inclusive field of study. The topics examine diverse formal expressions, innovative conceptual approaches, and various media used by artists around the world and forcefully acknowledge the connections between art, historical circumstances, political environments, and social issues such as gender, race, and social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, imperial and colonial history, modernism, and globalization.
Download or read book Women and the Collaborative Art of Gardens written by Victoria E. Pagán and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and the Collaborative Art of Gardens explores the garden and its agency in the history of the built and natural environments, as evidenced in landscape architecture, literature, art, archaeology, history, photography, and film. Throughout the book, each chapter centers the act of collaboration, from garden clubs of the early twentieth century as powerful models of women’s leadership, to the more intimate partnerships between family members, to the delicate relationship between artist and subject. Women emerge in every chapter, whether as gardeners, designers, owners, writers, illustrators, photographers, filmmakers, or subjects, but the contributors to this dynamic collection unseat common assumptions about the role of women in gardens to make manifest the significant ways in which women write themselves into the accounts of garden design, practice, and history. The book reveals the power of gardens to shape human existence, even as humans shape gardens and their representations in a variety of media, including brilliantly illuminated manuscripts, intricately carved architectural spaces, wall paintings, black and white photographs, and wood cuts. Ultimately, the volume reveals that gardens are best apprehended when understood as products of collaboration. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of gardens and culture, ancient Rome, art history, British literature, medieval France, film studies, women’s studies, photography, African American Studies, and landscape architecture.
Download or read book The Smells and Senses of Antiquity in the Modern Imagination written by Adeline Grand-Clément and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tackles the role of smell, under-explored in relation to the other senses, in the modern rejection, reappraisal and idealisation of antiquity. Among the senses olfaction in particular has often been overlooked in classical reception studies due to its evanescent nature, which makes this sense difficult to apprehend in its past instantiations. And yet, the smells associated with a given figure or social group convey a rich imagery which in turn connotes specific values: perfumes, scents and foul odours both reflect and mould the ways in which a society thinks or acts. Smells also help to distinguish between male and female, citizens and strangers, and play an important role during rituals. The Smells and Senses of Antiquity in the Modern Imagination focuses on the representation of ancient smells - both enticing and repugnant - in the visual and performative arts from the late 18th century up to the 21st century. The individual contributions explore painting, sculpture, literature and film, but also theatrical performance, museum exhibitions, advertising, television series, historical reenactment and graphic novels, which have all played a part in reshaping modern audiences' perceptions and experiences of the antique.

Download or read book William Bouguereau written by Frederick C. Ross and published by Acc Art Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Showcases the work of a realist artist whose work is enjoying a revival - Explores Bouguereau's work in new depth, with expert insight into his most important paintings William Bouguereau, the most popular artist in nineteenth-century France, is rapidly becoming one of the most popular realist artists of all time. This book is an exploration of the four main types of paintings that were most prevalent throughout Bouguereau's body of work. This includes his mythological works, religious works, peasants, and portraits. This final section on portraits focuses on paintings of heads and hands, which gave the artist the opportunity to concentrate on the subtleties of capturing human emotion, something at which the artist was a consummate master, and is a primary factor in what makes his works, in general, so compelling. Although each section of the book discusses the importance of the individual genera within Bouguereau's oeuvre, and includes painting analyses to highlight his most important works, this book is a true showcase of the master's lifetime achievement through beautifully illustrated full-page plates of over 120 of his greatest masterpieces.

Download or read book Varian Studies Volume Three written by Leonardo de Arrizabalaga y Prado and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heliogabalus and Elagabalus are names given since late antiquity to the mythical or legendary avatar of Varius Avitus Bassianus. Varius was Roman emperor AD 218–222, ruling as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. He was simultaneously High Priest of the Syrian sun god Elagabal. Heliogabalus and Elagabalus, names derived from Elagabal, are often used as misnomers for Varius himself, but more properly designate his avatar, who is far better known than Varius. The Varian avatar, under these and other names, survives and thrives in historiography, as well as in more avowedly creative literature, music, dance, the visual arts, and popular culture. This book, the third in Varian Studies, is partly based on the Varian Symposium, held in Cambridge in 2005. It contains studies of the historical Varius, of some of his courtiers, of his god Elagabal, and of his avatar, Heliogabalus or Elagabalus.

Download or read book Retrospection and Revision in Modern and Contemporary Art Literature and Music written by Mette Gieskes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary book investigates the various ways in which North American and European modern and contemporary artists, authors, and musicians have returned to earlier works of their own, engaging in inventive revivals and transformations of the past in the present. The book is distinctive in its focus on such revisits, as well as in the diversity of art forms under review: in addition to visual art, the book explores fiction, poetry, literary criticism, film, rock music, and philosophy. This scope, together with the time-span covered in the book, from the 1850s to the twenty-first century, allows for a broad view on retrospection and revision. The case studies presented here offer a multifaceted exploration of the widely different goals to which practitioners of the arts have made retrospection and revision functional against the background of cultural, social, political, and personal forces.
