Contemporary Art : A Very Short Introduction

By: JULIAN STALLABRASS

Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr: March 2006

Seller ID: 20070727117480

ISBN: 0192806467

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Contemporary art has never been so popular, but what is its role today and who is controlling its future? Contemporary art is supposed to be a realm of freedom where artists shock, break taboos, flout generally received ideas, and switch between confronting viewers with works of great emotional profundity and jaw-dropping triviality.

Here Julian Stallabrass takes us inside the international art wo...

Imagining Childhood

By: Ms. Erika Langmuir

Price: $45.00

Publisher: Yale University Press: December 2006

Seller ID: 20100728175617

ISBN: 0300101317

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: New

The images of children that abound in Western art do not simply mirror reality; they are imaginative constructs, representing childhood as a special stage of human life, or emblematic of the human condition itself. In a compelling book ranging widely across time, national boundaries, and genres from ancient Egyptian amulets to Picasso's Guernica, Erika Langmuir demonstrates that no historic period has a monopoly on the 'discovery of childhood'. Famous pictures by great artists, as well as barely known anonymous artefacts, illustrate not only Western society's perennially ambivalent atti...

Publisher: J. Paul Getty Museum: April 2011

Seller ID: 137497

ISBN: 160606066X

Binding: Paper Back

This volume examines the ways that sovereign rulers have employed well-defined symbols, attributes, and stereotypes to convey their power to their subjects and rivals, as well as to leave a legacy for subsequent generations to admire.

Legendary rulers from antiquity such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Constantine have been looked to as models for their display of imperial power by the rulers of later eras. From medieval sovereigns such as Charlemagne and France's Louis IX to the tsars of Russia and the great European royal dynasties of the Hapsburgs, the Bourbons, and the ...

Filled with entertaining and ...
