Book Synopsis Fools Are Everywhere by : Beatrice K. Otto
Download or read book Fools Are Everywhere written by Beatrice K. Otto and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively work, Beatrice K. Otto takes us on a journey around the world in search of one of the most colorful characters in history—the court jester. Though not always clad in cap and bells, these witty, quirky characters crop up everywhere, from the courts of ancient China and the Mogul emperors of India to those of medieval Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. With a wealth of anecdotes, jokes, quotations, epigraphs, and illustrations (including flip art), Otto brings to light little-known jesters, highlighting their humanizing influence on people with power and position and placing otherwise remote historical figures in a more idiosyncratic, intimate light. Most of the work on the court jester has concentrated on Europe; Otto draws on previously untranslated classical Chinese writings and other sources to correct this bias and also looks at jesters in literature, mythology, and drama. Written with wit and humor, Fools Are Everywhere is the most comprehensive look at these roguish characters who risked their necks not only to mock and entertain but also to fulfill a deep and widespread human and social need.
Download or read book Art and Laughter written by Sheri Klein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to take seriously (though not too seriously) the surprisingly neglected role of humour in art. "Art and Laughter" looks back to comic masters such as Hogarth and Daumier and to Dada, Surrealism and Pop Art, asking what makes us laugh and why. It explores the use of comedy in art from satire and irony to pun, parody and black and bawdy humour. Encouraging laughter in the hallowed space of the gallery, Sheri Klein praises the contemporary artist as 'clown' - often overlooked in favour of the role of artist as 'serious' commentator - and takes us on a tour of the comic work of Red Grooms, Cary Leibowitz, 'The Hairy Who', Richard Prince, Bruce Nauman, Jeff Koons, William Wegman, Vik Muniz and many more. She seeks out those rare smiles in art - from the Mona Lisa onwards - and highlights too the pleasures of the cute, the camp and the downright kitsch.

Book Synopsis The Art of Parody by : Michael Griesgraber
Download or read book The Art of Parody written by Michael Griesgraber and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Griesgraber's parody series started auspiciously--by mistake.When his copy of a Vermeer painting was placed on display at his local Starbucks it was accidentally sold, so he replaced it with another, this time adding in his favorite Starbucks breakfast. But when that sold just as quickly, Griesgraber realized he'd stumbled onto something big.Encouraged by the painting's positive reception, Griesgraber continued the joke, producing dozens of parodies that sold out within days. By then he'd picked up momentum, incorporating not just Starbucks imagery but outside objects, ideas, and even other paintings to make his statements.At times wry, often witty, and always insightful, The Art of Parody is a highly engaging look at an artist's process of honoring past paintings while twisting the results in surprising, sometimes shocking ways. You'll never look at a Starbucks the same way again!
