Japanische Holzschnitte (ukiyo-e) zählen heute zu den berühmtesten Kunstformen Ostasiens. Doch wie haben die Drucke aus der Edo-Zeit diesen Status erhalten? Als Ursprung für ihren Weltruhm wird ...häufig auf die Japonismus-Epoche Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts verwiesen. Dabei blenden Kunstwissenschaft und Museumswelt aus, dass die Drucke in den letzten siebzig Jahren vielfach präsentiert wurden. Marina Sammeck verfolgt, wie japanische Holzschnitte durch Ausstellungen und Allianzen zu einer der populärsten japanischen Kunstformen im Westen aufsteigen konnten. Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Analyse steht die Beschreibung des Prozesses, in dem spezifische Objekte zu »Kunst« werden - und was dieser für die zukünftige Ausstellungspraxis bedeutet.
The theory and practice of art underwent a number of fascinating
changes between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries, changes
which are clearly revealed in this unique collection of letters,
...journals, essays, and other writings by the artists and their
contemporaries. In the poems of Michelangelo, the
Dialogues of Carducho, or the Discourses of Sir
Joshua Reynolds, one discovers the stylistic and philosophical
concerns of the artist, while the record of Veronese's trial before
the Holy Tribunal, the diary of Bernini's journey in France, the
letters of Rubens and Poussin or biographical sketches of Rembrandt
and Watteau reveal not only the personalities but also the
conditions of the times. These basic and illuminating documents,
now again available in paperback, provide an unparalleled
opportunity for insight into the art and ideas of the periods the
author discusses.
Constructivist and sculptor Naum Gabo's personal account
of his development as an artist A leading exponent of the
modern art movement known as Constructivism, Russian-born Naum Gabo
was one of the ...most important sculptors of the twentieth century-an
artist, designer, and theorist whose work changed the course of
modern art. Of Divers Arts is Gabo's beautifully written
personal account of his development and growing into consciousness
as an artist and his constant search for new techniques of
communication. Throughout, he reflects on the relationship between
art and science and reveals the many important influences on his
work, especially the natural world, Russian religious and folk art,
and the work of the artist Mikhail Vrubel. The result is a
remarkable autobiographical account of a major modern artist.
From one of the world's leading authorities on
ancient Greek art, a groundbreaking account of how Greek
images were understood and used by other ancient peoples, from
Britain to China In this book, ...acclaimed archaeologist and
art historian John Boardman explores Greek art as a foreign art
transmitted to the non-Greeks of antiquity-peoples who weren't
necessarily able to judge the meaning of Greek art and who may have
regarded the Greeks themselves with great hostility. Boardman
examines how and why the arts of the classical world traveled and
to what effect, from Britain to China, from roughly the eighth
century BCE to the early centuries CE. In some places, such as
Italy, Greek images were overwhelmingly successful. In Egypt, the
Celtic world, the eastern steppes, and other regions with strong
local traditions, they were never effectively assimilated. And in
cultures where there was a subtler blend of influences, notably in
the Buddhist east, classical images served as a catalyst to the
generation of new styles. Along the way, Boardman demonstrates that
looking at Greek art from the outside provides a wealth of new
insights into Greek art itself, and he raises important questions
about how images in general are copied and reinterpreted.
