Download or read book The Pittas Collection Ediz a Colori written by Anthi Andronikou and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume Pittas III dimostra come la collezione Pittas vanti di attraversare tutta la storia dell'arte, dalla scultura greca a Louis Jean-François Lagrenée a Giorgio de Chirico. Le 100 opere raccolte nel volume, ciascuna con la relativa scheda di approfondimento e con le proprie immagini a confronto, tradiscono tuttavia uno spiccato interesse del collezionista verso la mitologia greca e romana, probabilmente imputabile alle sue origini nel Mediterraneo orientale. Le opere sono disposte pertanto secondo un ordine tematico ruotante intorno alla divinità a cui di volta in volta si ispirano o riferiscono: ogni divinità costituisce un capitolo a sé, offrendo in questo modo al lettore la facoltà di ricavare un percorso armonioso e coerente per ogni esempio riportato.Il volume, a cura di Anthi Andronikou e Peter Humfrey, non intende fornire un modello enciclopedico, bensì accertare il valore artistico di ciascuna opera.

Download or read book Global Village written by Anna Detheridge and published by Snoeck. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 1962 book "The Gutenberg Galaxy," Marshall McLuhan wrote the famous words: "The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village." As predicted by the renowned Canadian media theorist, satellite telecommunications, beginning with the first Sputnik launch in 1957, united humanity under a vast "cosmic membrane." An immense web of waves echo information around the planet, and distance and time are abolished. Dreams, upheavals, trends, and conflicts are now experienced on a global scale. "Global Village: The 1960s" plumbs the depths of those planetary echoes as they resonated throughout the decade in the fields of visual arts, decorative arts, fashion, and architecture. Along with a wealth of images, it contains interviews with diverse key figures of the time, including designer Ettore Sottsass, art critic Arthur Danto, artist Yoko Ono, filmmaker Agn s Varda, curator Okwui Enwezor, writer Tobias Wolff, playwright Michel Tremblay, and artist Carolee Schneeman.
