Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Artists of Antiquity: Architects, Carvers, Engravers, Modellers, Painters, Sculptors, Statuaries, and Workers in Bronze, Gold, Ivory, and Silver, With Three Chronological Tables The reader will observe that, though the names of the artists are not introduced into the First Index, because the Dictionary proceeds alphabetically, the names of the artists, which are inserted in the Appendix, are included in the First Index. The Four Indexes have been compiled with great care, and will, it is presumed, be found to be very complete; certain it is that the editor went twice over the ground, that he might the better insure accuracy, and certain too it is that the con struction of the Four Indexes has been the serious labor of one whole month. Such typographical errors, as the editor has observed, he has noticed at the end of his Work; the want of access to books for references in cases of doubt, and the distance of the press have been Obstacles in the way of typographical accuracy he is conscious of certain errors, which he had not the means of correcting, but on the other hand he believes that he has corrected several, which were in the original Work, while he is aware that with the aid of the proper books, he could have corrected more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Artists of Antiquity: Architects, Carvers, Engravers, Modellers, Painters, Sculptors, Statuaries, and Workers in Bronze, Gold, Ivory, and Silver, With Three Chronological Tables The reader is here presented with what has been long regarded as a great desideratum, in English literature, A Critical History of the Artists of Antiquity, by one, whose learning, acuteness, judgment, taste, and scientific acquirements are competent alike to decide questions of Classical criticism and philology, and to appreciate the recorded performances of ancient Artists, and the existing remains of ancient Art, with a noble impartiality and independence, and with a modesty and patience equalled only by the ardent zeal, and generous devotion, and in whom is happily blended the spirit of candor, which adorns the pages of a Markland, with the nice perception, which distinguishes an Elmsley, and the laborious research, which immortalises a Heyne. Such a Work, executed in so admirable a manner, can scarcely fail to meet with proper encouragement, not only from Royal Academicians, practising Professors of Engraving, Painting, and Sculpture, the lovers of the Fine Arts, and the youthful and aspiring pupils, but also from Classical Scholars, who will find in this Dictionary the solution of many difficulties, which surround their favorite Authors in Cimmerian darkness, and arrest the reader in his career of poetic enthusiasm, or of philosophical contemplation, or of historical research, disenchanting his imaginative musings, and disharmonising his ratiocinative processes. The Editor regrets, (a fault, which may be remedied in a future edition,) that Mr. Sillig has not noticed at greater length, and with more minute investigation, the Biography of the Ancient Artists. He admits that he has examined carefully such facts in their personal hisjories, as bear on the Fine Arts, and many particulars, which have no such reference. But in a Dictionary of this kind every incident, narrative, or fact, which antiquity has recorded, respecting each Artist, should be specified, and any questions, which are connected with them, should be examined, whether they have or have not any direct relation to the Fine Arts. And, if the Editor should be induced to reprint this Work, (as his vanity inclines him to believe, and his judgment leads him to expect,) he will use his best endeavours to supply the defect. In the mean time the reader, who has not access to more elaborate publications, can or must be content with the notices of these Artists, which appear in Dr. Lempriere's Classical Dictionary, as edited by the learned Professor Anthon in America, and reprinted by the Editor in England; but the possessors of this Work will do well to regard the performance of Mr. Sillig as an indispensable accompaniment to the other.

Download or read book British Sculptors of the Twentieth Century written by Alan Windsor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published 2003. In the twentieth century, Britain was rich in artistic achievement, especially in sculpture. Just some of those working in this field were Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, Richard Long, Mona Hatoum and Anish Kapoor. The work of these and other known and less well-known artists has an astonishing variety and expressive power, a range and strength that has placed Britain at the hub of the artistic world. Alan Windsor has compiled a concise biographical dictionary of sculpture in Britain in book form. Richly informative and easy-to-use, this guide is an art-lover's and expert's essential reference. Written by scholars, the entries are cross-referenced and each concise biographical outline provides the relevant facts about the artist's life, a brief characterization of the artist's work, and, where appropriate, major bibliographical references.

Download or read book Art Market Research written by Tom McNulty and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
