Download or read book Art Nouveau written by Victor Arwas and published by Papadakis Publisher. This book was released on 2002 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely has a subject been served by a book of this stature. Five years in the making, it covers all aspects of Art Nouveau in France in 624 authoritative pages and 740 illustrations. Arwas traces the evolution of the movement as it developed, primarily in Nancy and Paris, with the help of carefully chosen illustrations, many never published before. Ranging from the 1900 Paris exhibition to paintings, graphics and posters and such collecting fields as furniture, jewellery, ceramics, book bindings and sculpture, the informative, witty text ranges over architecture, haute couture, and the role of women in Art Nouveau with a particular look at such theatrical icons as Sarah Bernhardt, Loïe Fuller and the Grandes Horizontales. Destined to become the standard book on the subject, both content and design will appeal widely to the connoisseur, the specialist and the collector, as well as to the novice who will be introduced to the magical wonders of the style.
Book Synopsis Accoutrement Belt Plates Exposed! by : Jeffry Peter La Marca
Download or read book Accoutrement Belt Plates Exposed! written by Jeffry Peter La Marca and published by Bogus Buckles. This book was released on 2008 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accoutrement Belt Plates: Exposed is a reprint of a catalog of fake belt buckles, allegedly created by the famed Tiffany & Co., that is believed to have first appeared sometime during the late 1970 ́s or early 1980 ́s. The original book was designed for one purpose - to deceive and confuse naïve collectors who were purchasing fake Tiffany & Co. brass and bronze belt buckles with a passion. These buckles appear to have been imported from England, in great quantities, as part of one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the American antiquities market. Accoutrement Belt Plates contains photographs of most of the bogus buckles (and buttons) that were created. Buckles are identified by name and an esoteric cataloging number has been assigned to each - most likely as part of an attempt to make these buckles appear as genuine antiques. Disturbingly, many modern collectors of these buckles still believe that they date back to the 1800¿s. Since their first appearance, these fantasy items have fetched outlandish prices in flea markets, gun shows, and swap meets across America. None of these buckles; however, were made until the 1960 ́s, at the very earliest. As to be expected, the company credited with originally printing this book, ¿Tiffany & Co. of London, England,¿ never existed - the real Tiffany & Co. is based out of New York. This new edition is presented in an attempt to halt the bogus belt buckle scam and the seemingly never ending promotion of them as genuine antiques. A preface has been added to provide readers with a bit of background on the buckle scam, photographs of some of the buckles mentioned but not contained in the original are presented for the first time, and the book is now fully indexed. While the original edition was part of a well planned scheme, it has been reproduced here to provide collectors with one important tool: it remains the only known record that lists most (but not all) of the bogus buckles and is therefore, valuable to those with an interest in them.

Book Synopsis What Does ‘Art’ Mean Now? by : Bruce Fleming
Download or read book What Does ‘Art’ Mean Now? written by Bruce Fleming and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does ‘Art’ Mean Now? asks, and answers, fundamental questions about the nature of aesthetic experience and role of the arts in contemporary society. The Modern Age, Romanticism and beyond, viewed art as something transcending and separated from life, and usually something encountered in museums or classrooms. Nowadays, however, art tends to be defined not by a commonly agreed-upon standard of “quality” or by its forms, such as painting and sculpture, but instead by political and ideological criteria. So how do we connect with the works in museums whose point was precisely that they stood apart from such considerations? Can we and should we be educated to “appreciate” art—and what does it do for us anyway? What are we to make of the so-different newer works—installations, performances, excerpts from the world—held to be art that increasingly make it into museums? Adopting a subjectivist approach, this book argues that in the absence of a universal judgment or standard of taste, the experience of art is one of freedom. The arts give us the means to conceptualize our lives, showing us ourselves as we are and as we might wish—or not wish—to be, as well as where we have been and where we are going. It will appeal to scholars of sociology, philosophy, museum studies, and art history, and to anyone interested in, or puzzled by, museums or college courses and their presentation of art today.
