Download or read book The Fine Arts Reduced to a Single Principle written by Charles Batteux and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fine Arts Reduced to a Single Principle (1746) by Charles Batteux was arguably the most influential work on aesthetics published in the eighteenth century. It influenced every major aesthetician in the second half of the century: Diderot, Herder, Hume, Kant, Lessing, Mendelssohn, and others either adopted his views or reacted against them. It is the work generally credited with establishing the modern system of the arts: poetry, painting, music, sculpture and dance. Batteux's book is also an invaluable aid to the interpretation of the arts of eighteenth century. And yet there has never been a complete or reliable translation of The Fine Arts into English. Now James O. Young, a leading contemporary philosopher of art, has provided an eminently readable and accurate translation. It is fully annotated and comes with a comprehensive introduction that identifies the figures who influenced Batteux and the writers who were, in turn, influenced by him. The introduction also discusses the ways in which The Fine Arts has continuing philosophical interest. In particular, Young demonstrates that Batteux's work is an important contribution to aesthetic cognitivism (the view that works of art contribute importantly to knowledge) and that Batteux made a significant contribution to understanding the expressiveness of music. This book will be of interest to everyone interested in the arts of the eighteenth century, French studies, the history of European ideas, and philosophy of art.
Download or read book Meaning in the Visual Arts written by Erwin Panofsky and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication, Erwin Panofsky's Meaning in the Visual Arts has been standard reading for students of art history. It is both an introduction to the study of art and, for those with more specialized interests, a profound discussion of art and life in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Panofsky's historical technique reveals an abundance of detail, detail he skillfully relates to the life and work of individual painters and their times. The papers in this volume represent a cross-section of Panofsky's major work. Included are selections from his well-known Studies in Iconology and The Life and Art of Albrecht Durer, plus an introduction and an epilogue--The History of Art as a Humanistic Discipline and Three Decades of Art History in the United States: Impressions of a Transplanted European--as well as pieces written especially for this collection. All display Panofsky's vast erudition and deep commitment to a humanistic conception of art and art history.

Download or read book Erwin Panofsky s Meaning in the Visual Arts written by Emmanouil Kalkanis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erwin Panofsky’s Meaning in the Visual Arts is considered a key work in art history. Its ideas have provoked widespread debate, and although it was first published more than sixty years ago, it continues to feature regularly on numerous university reading lists. Meaning in the Visual Arts comprises nine essays. In these, Panofsky argues for the independence of iconology as a branch of history. He moves on to demonstrate the anatomy of art and its study, as well as the controlling principles of interpretation. He then deals with the theories of human proportions, Gothic architecture, and the Northern Renaissance. Finally, Panofsky discusses his own American experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Fine Arts Economy of China is a groundbreaking book that offers a fresh perspective on the economic aspects of Chinese fine arts. It explores how economic activities related to art have influenced art history, introducing new methods and ideas to the field of art history research. The book provides a detailed analysis of the production, exchange, and consumption of various art forms in China, including calligraphy, paintings, crafts, and architecture. It examines the evolution of art markets, the driving forces behind them, and how they were shaped by social, political, economic, and cultural factors throughout Chinese history. This work uniquely combines art history with economic aspects. It looks at the economic origins of art and identifies three main types of art sponsorship in China: royal, private, and public. The history of art economics in China is divided into three phases, each marked by different sponsorship trends. The book highlights the significance of art marketization, showing its impact not just on the economy, but also on cultural and artistic standards in society. A History of Fine Arts Economy of China is an important contribution to academic literature, offering a comprehensive view of the intersection between art and economics in Chinese history.
Download or read book Transatlantic Reflections on the Practice Based PhD in Fine Art written by Jessica Schwarzenbach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the US was the only country in the world to offer a doctorate for studio artists, however the PhD in fine art disappeared after pressures established the MFA as the terminal degree for visual artists. Subsequently, the PhD in fine art emerged in the UK and is now offered by approximately 40 universities. Today the doctorate is offered in most English-speaking nations, much of the EU, and countries such as China and Brazil. Using historical, political, and social frameworks, this book investigates the evolution of the fine art doctorate in the UK, what the concept of a PhD means to practicing artists from the US, and why this degree disappeared in the US when it is so vigorously embraced in the UK and other countries. Data collected through in-depth interviews examine the perspectives of professional artists in the US who teach graduate level fine art. These interviews disclose conflicting attitudes toward this advanced degree and reveal the possibilities and challenges of developing a potential doctorate in studio art in the US.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provocative title of this new collection of essays was chosen by Rudolf Arnheim for good reason. He has spent a lifetime analyzing the basic psychological principles that make works of visual art meaningful, stirring, indispensable, and lasting. But recent fashionable attitudes and theories about art, he argues, are undermining the foundation of artistic achievement itself. He says that we must face the threat 'that the work crew charged with erecting the edifice of our principles is infiltrated by termites.'
