Paperback. Etat : New. A traveler's guide to key works by the greatest Neoclassical sculptor, on the 200th anniversary of his deathOften regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, Antonio Canova (1757-1822) combined Greek and Roman sculptural idioms with a nascent Romanticism to forge a new vocabulary for Neoclassicism. Even within in his own lifetime, Canova's works could be found in major collections across the world, from the United States to Russia.Marking the 200th anniversary of the artist's death, this guidebook offers a series of itineraries to guide the visitor on an exploration of the many works left by the sculptor, painter and architect in his home region of the Veneto, with which he always maintained close ties. The museums, palazzi and churches of Possagno, Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Padua, Verona and Venice are filled with Canova's works, and with sites relevant to his life. Canova in the Veneto thus offers a fresh way to discover the Veneto region.

Paperback. Etat : New. Tour the city of Venice through the panoramic paintings of one of its most celebrated chroniclersThe lagoon city of Venice was home to some of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance. Among them was Vittore Carpaccio (c. 1465-1525), whose body of work largely remains to this day in the city in which he lived and died. Influenced by Early Netherlandish art and resistant to Humanist trends, Carpaccio is today known for having developed a style that set him apart from his peers. He worked primarily under the patronage of various scuole, or confraternities, to illustrate Christian anecdotes. Replete with illustrative detail and an earthy color palette, Carpaccio's paintings are uniquely emotive in their depictions of saintly miracles.This new publication invites readers from around the world to tour Venice through Carpaccio's masterpieces and discover the artist who was exceptionally adept at fusing the real Venice and the myth of Venice into a single vision. Carpaccio in Venice: A Guide presents all of the artist's works conserved in the city, providing updated scholarship for both the paintings and their original locations in light of recent restoration efforts. Sites include the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, the Doge's Palace, the Museo Correr, the Gallerie dell'Accademia, along with many other locations.

Paperback. Etat : New. Unlike the other two master Renaissance painters associated with Venice, Titian and Veronese, Tintoretto (1519-94) alone was born in Venice and he left his mark there more than either artist. His paintings can still be found everywhere in the city: not only in museums, but as part of the original decorative cycles in public buildings such as the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, the Doge's Palace and the Liberia Marciana, and serving as altarpieces or chapel decorations in Venetian churches. Over one hundred and twenty of Tintoretto's breathtaking paintings spill out of the pages, divided into sections that correspond to the Venetian Sestieri or districts. Each painting is accompanied by entries written by an international team of art historians covering major issues and placing them in their artistic and cultural context.

Paperback. Etat : New. 1st. Bodies in ecstasy, bodies in tortuous pain, bodies devoid of life and bodies rising to the afterlife: the subject of the human is central to the work Tintoretto (1519-94) accomplished at the Scuola Grande di San Marco, home to the monumental library and medical museum of Venice's Ospedale Civile, and thus a fitting backdrop to Art, Faith and Medicine in Tintoretto's Venice, a volume that explores the representation of the human body in artistic and medical traditions in an effort to understand the role of idealized and nonidealized bodies in Renaissance culture. This book draws on archival documents, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, prints, medals, drawings and paintings to examine the interconnection between art and medicine, anatomical studies and devotional belief. Special topics such as medical care for the monks of the Scuola further enliven this central theme.

Paperback. Etat : New. From Lina Bo Bardi to Elizabeth Diller: how women have reshaped the disciplineIn the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of "one man at the helm" to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time.In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.

Hardback. Etat : New. French "photograffeur" JR's tribute to cultural institutions during COVID-19Throughout the pandemic, cultural institutions have been forced to shut their doors to the public. Palazzo Strozzi in Florence has commissioned street artist JR (born 1983) to address this unfortunate reality.

The Wound (La Ferita) is a poignant reflection on the wound endured by cultural institutions during the pandemic. The book includes a conversation between the artist and curator Arturo Galansino, in which they delve into the genesis and realization of this singular piece.

Paperback. Etat : New. On the Baroque painter's early years in Rome and the origins of his vision of landscape paintingThe impetus behind this volume was the Italian state's 2020 acquisition of the painting Landscape with a Country Dance (1601-02) by the Italian Baroque painter Guido Reni (1575-1642). The artwork's return to its native land at the Galleria Borghese marked a prime opportunity to rediscover the artist and his oeuvre, particularly the landscapes and rural scenes he created during his early years in Rome.Nature and Devotion tracks the new vision of nature-a fusion of science and poetry-that Reni developed alongside his contemporaries (who included Niccolò dell'Abate, Annibale Carracci, Domenichino and Giovanni Battista Viola). Following the artist's course up until his breakthrough fresco for the Casino of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Aurora (1613-14), the volume conveys how the impressions he gathered during his early years in Rome established a robust foundation upon which he built his later masterpieces.

Paperback. Etat : New. Major works from the Walker Art Center's collection, seen in the context of two watershed moments in American historyThis diverse survey of American art from the collection of the Walker Art Center uses two of the nation's most significant events as its chronological boundaries: the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 that escalated the Vietnam War and the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC. Within the timeframe of these two landmark calamities, the United States saw the emergence of some of its most noteworthy artists.The publication examines the many themes and techniques developed during those 40 years within the greater context of American history and culture, from modernist abstraction to mass production. These generations of artists probed the very notion of what art is and what it can do using paint, performance, installation, video and photography. This paperback volume features work by artists such as Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barbara Kruger, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, Robert Rauschenberg, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol from the Walker Art Center's acclaimed collection.

Hardback. Etat : New. The result of extensive recent research, Migrating Objects reveals Peggy Guggenheim's two-decade period of collecting beyond the European and North American art with which she is usually associatedIn the 1950s and '60s, Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) began to turn her attentions as a collector toward the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Migrating Objects focuses on this lesser-known but crucial episode in her life and activities. In these years, Guggenheim acquired works created by artists from cultures worldwide, including early 20th-century sculpture from Mali, the Ivory Coast and New Guinea, and ancient examples from Mexico and Peru.Migrating Objects emerges from an extended period of research and discussion on this largely ignored area of Guggenheim's collection by a curatorial advisory committee, which has yielded exciting results, including the reattribution of individual works, among them the Nigerian headdress (Ago Egungun) produced by the workshop of Oniyide Adugbologe-illustrated here alongside other pieces that will greatly expand understanding of Guggenheim's collecting.
