Download or read book The Ornament of the World written by Maria Rosa Menocal and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2009-11-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic bestseller — the inspiration for the PBS series — is an "illuminating and even inspiring" portrait of medieval Spain that explores the golden age when Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together in an atmosphere of tolerance (Los Angeles Times). This enthralling history, widely hailed as a revelation of a "lost" golden age, brings to vivid life the rich and thriving culture of medieval Spain, where for more than seven centuries Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together in an atmosphere of tolerance, and where literature, science, and the arts flourished. "It is no exaggeration to say that what we presumptuously call 'Western' culture is owed in large measure to the Andalusian enlightenment...This book partly restores a world we have lost." —Christopher Hitchens, The Nation

Download or read book A Handbook of Ornament written by Franz Sales Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Ornament: With Three Hundred Plates, Containing About Three Thousand Illustrations of the Elements, and the Application of Decoration to Objects [The term "Ornament," in its limited sense, includes such of the Elements of Decoration as are adapted, or developed, from Natural Foliage. These differ from the Geometrical elements, inasmuch as they are organic i. e. possessing stems, leaves, flowers, &c., while the latter are inorganic. When merely drawn on paper, &c., and unapplied - a foliated element is considered in the abstract as "Ornament." When applied to beautify an object - it becomes an "Element of Decoration." The term "Decoration" signifies the art or process of applying the various Elements to beautify Objects. It is also used to denote the completed result. Thus the artist, who is occupied in the "decoration" of a vase, may represent ornament upon it; and the ornament is then the "Decoration" of the vase. The "Elements" of Decoration are: Geometrical-lines, Ornament, Natural-foliage, Artificial Objects, Animals, and the Human Figure. These may be considered as the "ingredients"; and they are mixed, and applied, on various arrangements or "Features," according to certain acknowledged "recipes" which are termed "Principles." The "Principles" of Decoration are not included in this Handbook, as the limits of it allow only a brief notice of such Elements as have been in general use during the successive Historic-epochs.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking anthology, twenty-two artists, architects, historians, critics, curators, and philosophers explore the role of public art in creating a national identity, contending that each work can only be understood by analyzing the context in which it is commissioned, built, and received. They emphasize the historical continuum between traditional works such as Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, and the New York Public Library lions, in addition to contemporary memorials such as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Names Project AIDS Quilt. They discuss the influence of patronage on form and content, isolate the factors that precipitate controversy, and show how public art overtly and covertly conveys civic values and national culture. Complete with an updated introduction, Critical Issues in Public Art shows how monuments, murals, memorials, and sculptures in public places are complex cultural achievements that must speak to increasingly diverse groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vor 100 Jahren abgeschafft und totgeglaubt, gibt es längst wieder ein modernes Ornament. War dieses früher schmückendes Beiwerk oder Dekor an sich, stellt es heute ein grundlegendes Konzept und Ordnungsmodell für viele Gestaltungsfelder des täglichen Lebens dar. Anstelle der bislang üblichen Pflanzen und Zeichen durchdringen im 21. Jahrhundert Punktraster, Streifen und Quadrate als ornamentale Strategie Architektur, Kunst und jede Art von Design. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über alle Ordnungsprinzipien moderner Ornamentik und öffnet den Blick auf eine völlig neue, faszinierende Welt. Für alle, die optische Zusammenhänge ohne Dogma sehen und verstehen wollen.
