Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is more common than a pair of shoes? In a world where shoes have become an object of mass consumption, these accessories are now rid of any significance. The industry has accomplished its duty: producing a large quantity at a low price. But there was a time when the shoe symbolised the strength of the Roman legion, the power of the Medieval lords or the oppression of the Chinese woman. Its history is both vast and enthralling, as revealed by the author Marie-Josèphe Bossan. Supporting her analysis with an outstanding iconography, the author gives these commonplace objects a universal quality that sheds light on the whole of civilisation and elevates them to the rank of a work of art.

Download or read book Art and Psyche written by Ellen Handler Spitz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative, closely argued book, Ellen Handler Spitz explores three principal psychoanalytic approaches to art. The first considers the relations between an artist's life and work; the second focuses on the work of art itself; and the third encompasses the intricate relations between a work of art and its audience or beholders. To illustrate her theoretical discussion, Spitz draws on a variety of art forms, including painting, sculpture, literature, music, and dance. "No one who is concerned with the psychoanalytic study of art can afford to neglect [this book]; no one who cares about the art of psychoanalysis should ignore it."--Aaron H. Esman, M.D., Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "This book ... should prove fascinating to all who are concerned with works of art as expressions of the human mind and heart."--Shehira Davezac, Hospital and Community Psychiatry "This book is highly recommended to all who enjoy the multiple applications of analytic thought to extend our senses."--Jay Lefer, Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis Ellen Handler Spitz holds degrees in art history, aesthetics, and education from Barnard College, Harvard University, and Columbia University. She was trained as a special candidate at the Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, Columbia University.

Download or read book God s Headquarter written by Irfan A. Karowalia and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for the truth about a creator is as old as time itself. Is God real or is this deity only a legend passed down through time – a mere figment of our inherited imaginations? It’s age-old question, asked by millions over the centuries. Intelligent and curious Aydin is no ordinary 18 year-old. A science student Aydin struggles with what he has been taught and the strong religious beliefs, which run through his very veins. He starts to mediate in earnest in the hope it will bring him closer to the answer – can science and religion be juxtaposed? Why should we have to believe in one or the other and not both working together? Not in a million years would this curious teenager imagine that the very questions he asked were about to be answered in the most awe-inspiring fashion. He has kept to his strict mediation schedule and now it’s time for bed – another sleepless night perhaps? Since these questions have been plaguing him, Aydin has not been able to rest easy. Suddenly Aydin feels himself rising off the bed and bathed in blinding light. As the light dims, he sees two egg-shaped objects coming straight towards him. His journey is about to begin. A supernatural being emerges. This dimension traveller introduces himself as Ridz the Creators chief Li-Bot who is here to take Aydin on a journey of enlightenment. Aydin finds himself on a breath-taking ride across and up the skies to a world he could never have imagined existed. There are seven levels to God’s Headquarters Ridz tells him and if Aydin had any doubts about this, what this glorious being is telling him is just the tip of the iceberg. Aydin is whisked to the start of the level process, Zoology, where he learns about the delicate Balance of Life and all its mechanisms. There’s “drive libraries” and control desks, containing what proves to be a multitude of dimensions erstwhile unknown to humankind. He encounters a humanoid and dinosaur hybrid equipped with hundreds of unique designs. Hybz, the Li-Bot in charge of hybrid life forms, show him a design capable of moving on either two or four legs with equal ease with a skin like a crocodile, horns like rhinos and a face like a dragon. There are 3D creatures with highly evolved telepathic powers who can twist their heads and limbs at 360 degree angles; others can remove or grow limbs at will, swap wings for fins and shoot horns at the speed of light. He marvels at flying horses like unicorns and the Burrower, a mole-human hybrid with highly evolved powers. It’s like living a fairy tale, Aydin marvels. During the Tour of the Levels he realizes that he is the first human being to be granted this journey of passage through the realms of eternity. “Why me,” Aydin asks. The answer is simple: Aydin’s soul is pure, the colour of a bright white light giving him almost unlimited access to the levels. The emphasis is on “almost” however. As Aydin transcends levels past the level of light and dark forms and the level with the workings of the universe and its ingredients, he asks to visit the ultimate level for an audience with the Creator. This time it is not to be, Ridz tells him. Work on your already advanced state of purity and return for the ultimate tour. When he awakes the next morning, Aydin knows one thing for certain – a supreme Creator does indeed exist, in the most complex and scientific form beyond any human’s wildest imagination. Will anyone ever believe him?

Download or read book A Half century of Greatness written by Frederic Ewen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Half-Century of Greatness paints a vivid and dramatic picture of the creative thought of mid- to late nineteenth century Europe and the influence of the unsuccessful Revolutions of 1848. It reveals often unexpected links between novelists, poets, and philosophers from England, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Ukraine-especially Dickens, Carlyle, Mill, the Bront?s, and George Eliot; Hegel, Strauss, Feuerbach, Marx, Engels, Wagner, and several German poets; the Hungarian poet Sndor Petfi; Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bakunin, and Herzen in Russia, and the great Ukrainian poet Shevchenko.The book was reconstructed and edited by Dr. Jeffrey Wollock from Ewen's final manuscript. It includes the author's own reference citations throughout, a reconstructed bibliography, and an updated "further reading" list.This is Ewen's last work, the long-lost companion to his Heroic Imagination. Together, these books present a panorama of the social, political, and artistic aspects of European Romanticism, especially foreshadowing and complementing recent work on the relation of Marxism to romanticism. Anyone interested in what Lukacs called "Romantic anticapitalism," who appreciates such books as Marshall Berman's Adventures in Marxism (1999) Lwy & Sayre's Romanticism against the Tide of Modernity (2001) or E.P. Thompson's The Romantics (1997), will find the Ewen volumes a welcome addition.

Download or read book Hitchcock and Art written by Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and published by Mazzotta. This book was released on 2000 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movies are unquestionably one of the cutting-edge media in 20th-century artistic production, a discipline that has contributed more than any other to fashioning the visual culture of our contemporaries and of the artists of our day and age. The Center Pompidou continues its policy of publicizing trail-blazing references to cinematographic culture by presenting the exhibition Hitchcock and Art which first went on show in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and whose Paris debut is marked by an adaptation and some significant additions, primarily by the arrival of works from the collections held in the Musee' National d'Art Moderne. Keeping faith with the Centre's multidisciplinary vocation of exploring and valorizing relationships between the different fields of modern and contemporary artistic creation, the exhibition aims at establishing a dialogue and revealing correlations between a leading, complex and universally known opus of cinematography work on the one hand and artistic movements on the other, from Romanticism to Surrealism, as well as architecture or graphic design, which left such a profound mark as they nourished Alfred Hitchcock's imagery and aesthetic. Hitchcock and Art provides the Centre with a chance to offer the public not only the exhibition, but also Hitchcock's complete repertoire of films.

Download or read book Night Passages written by Elisabeth Bronfen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning was the night. All light, shapes, language, and subjective consciousness, as well as the world and art depicting them, emerged from this formless chaos. In fantasy, we seek to return to this original darkness. Particularly in literature, visual representations, and film, the night resiliently resurfaces from the margins of the knowable, acting as a stage and state of mind in which exceptional perceptions, discoveries, and decisions play out. Elisabeth Bronfen follows nocturnal spaces in which extraordinary events unfold, enabling the irrational exploration of desire, transformation, ecstasy, transgression, spiritual illumination, and moral choice. She begins with classical myths depicting the creation of the world and moves through nocturnal scenes in Shakespeare and Milton, Gothic figurations, Hegel's romantic philosophy, and Freud's psychoanalysis. In modern times, she shows how literature and film, particularly film noir, transmit that piece of night the modern subject carries within. From Mozart's "Queen of the Night" to Virginia Woolf 's oscillation between day and night, life and death, and chaos and aesthetic form, Bronfen renders something visible, conceivable, and tellable from the dark realms of the unknown.
