Download or read book The Wall of the Earth written by Giorgio Caproni and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The work of Giorgio Caproni has been translated into French, German, and Chinese, among others, but this collection is his first book-length English publication. His works are finely tuned to modern man's preoccupations with existence in a world deprived of certainties (for example, the existence or inexistence of God). Most are touched by experiences such as the Second World War and its atrocities, the Resistance Movement, or the death of loved ones, events that represent the conviction of a subject that will do its best to survive all adversity, uncompromised" -- from the Introduction by Pasquale Verdicchio
Download or read book I volti dell arte written by Giovanna Giusti Galardi and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il catalogo, realizzato in occasione della mostra veneziana a palazzo Fianchetti (27 gennaio - 6 maggio 2007), presenta la prestigiosa collezione di autoritratti degli Uffizi attraverso un panorama espositivo di circa settanta opere pittoriche di eccezionale qualità artistica. L'immagine riflessa di Narciso che cerca un'identità nascosta è da sempre motivo di ricerca per l'introspezione personale dell'artista attraverso i secoli: da Filippino Lippi a Raffaello; da Tintoretto a Guido Reni; fino ai protagonisti del Novecento e dell'arte contemporanea, il tema stimolante della scoperta dell'Io caratterizza il percorso personale di ognuno fino al tradimento della personalità. L'affascinante percorso di questo volume rivela il lato oscuro dell'identità alterata; attraverso una sorta di viaggio a ritroso nel tempo sarà possibile conoscere il volto e la personalità di alcuni tra i protagonisti della scena artistica internazionale: dal XV e XVI secolo con la presenza di Filippino Lippi, Raffaello, Primaticcio, Tintoretto, Guido Reni, Annibale Carracci; fino al XIX secolo con le testimonianze di Francesco Hayez, Giovanni Fattori, Giovanni Boldini, Giuseppe Pelizza da Volpedo; per arrivare poi ai protagonisti del Novecento e del Contemporaneo quali: Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Marc Chagall, Michelangelo Pistoletto e numerosi altri.

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Download or read book Writing and Performing Female Identity in Italian Culture written by Virginia Picchietti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates the ways in which Italian women writers, filmmakers, and performers have represented female identity across genres from the immediate post-World War II period to the turn of the twenty-first century. Considering genres such as prose, poetry, drama, and film, these essays examine the vision of female agency and self-actualization arising from women artists’ critique of female identity. This dual approach reveals unique interpretations of womanhood in Italy spanning more than fifty years, while also providing a deep investigation of the manipulation of canvases historically centered on the male subject. With its unique coupling of generic and thematic concerns, the volume contributes to the ever expanding female artistic legacy, and to our understanding of postwar Italian women’s evolving relationship to the narration of history, gender roles, and these artists’ use and revision of generic convention to communicate their vision.

Download or read book Dante and the Victorians written by Alison Milbank and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milbank (English, U. of Cambridge) argues that an understanding of Victorianism's reception of Dante is essential for understanding its notions of history, nationalism, aesthetics, and gender as well as the often strange intersections between any two or more of them. She offers a new genealogy of literature in modern times, substituting a continuous Dantism for the conventional tale of Victorian realism and historicism challenged by modernist symbolism. She also finds Dante to be the first writer to historicize, fictionalize, and humanize the eternal realm, and therefore the route through which history, secularized fiction, and positivist humanism can be traced to a lost transcendent.
