Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egyptian Art Introductory Studies The following pages contains a translation of the introductory chapters of Monsieur Capart's Leçons sur l'Art égyptien. Some few remarks are necessary to explain the origin of the work, and also of this partial translation. In 1903 the University of Liège introduced a course of ancient art and archæology, and a similar course of study was at the same time instituted in Brussels, Monsieur Capart being appointed professor at both places. For the purpose of his lectures he drew up a series of studies embracing the entire range of Oriental art in which the predominating influence was naturally Egyptian. The practical experience gained over a number of years resulted in considerable additions and modifications to the original scheme, which benefited by each successive improvement. Monsieur Capart's wide knowledge and experience, coupled with the unrivalled series of documents which he has amassed, should form a basis for a more comprehensive study of ancient Oriental art than has ever been attempted hitherto. In 1914 the war brought these academic courses to a standstill, but fortunately it was found possible to resume them in 1916, but in a more condensed form. These we now have in the Leçons.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt This present handbook is intended to aid in the understanding of Egyptian art, and the illustrations and descriptions are selected for that purpose only. The history of the art would require a far greater range Of examples, in order to illustrate the growth and decay of each of the great periods; whereas here only the most striking works Of each period are shown, in order to contrast the different civilisa tions. The origins and connections of the art in each age are scarcely touched, and the technical de tails are only such as are needed to see the conditions of the art. The archaeology of the subject would need as wide a treatment as the history, and these subjects can only appear here incidentally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 The fact is that Schnaase follows a geographical order, which is very confusing in its results. To give but one example of its absurdity, he speaks of the Phoenicians before he has said a word of Egypt; now, we all know that the art of Tyre and Sidon was but a late reflection from that of Egypt; the work shops of those two famous ports were mere factories of cheap Egyptian art objects for exportation.

Download or read book A History of Art in Ancient Egypt (Classic Reprint) written by Georges Perrot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Perrot was a French archaeologist, professor in the faculty of letters in Paris, and a prolific author. His book, entitled A History of Art in Ancient Egypt is a two volume set covering the art of Ancient Egypt via archaeological means and discovery. As an archaeologist, Perrot explored Greece, Asia Minor, and other famous locales for archaeological digging; his findings while on dig sites inspired a considerable amount of his writing. This particular series was written in tandem with co-author Charles Chipiez, who worked and studied alongside Perrot and was considered an equal authority in the field of archaeology by contemporaries. Together, these two men performed architectural studies on the most ancient monuments through careful observations of sculptures and ruins. After Chipiez's death, Perrot continued to write and publish books on their work together. This book contains a veritable well-spring of information on ancient Egypt and its culture. Specifically, the book explores several ancient structures of Egypt - their style and their architecture, as well as the materials used to make these and other Egyptian structures. No aspect of a given structure is too large or too small to warrant detailed discussion in this text, as the book explores everything from arches and cornerstones, to doors and windows. The book also contains detailed information on Egyptian artwork found at archaeological digs including sculptures, paintings, glass and pottery, jewelry, and metal work. One of the most remarkable features of A History of Art in Ancient Egypt is its artful use of illustrations, with almost six hundred engravings in the text and fourteen steel and colored plates used to great effect. Whether you're a casual reader looking to learn about the Ancient Egyptians or a scholar focusing in archaeology and ancient architecture, this book has something exciting for everyone!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greek Art: With an Introductory Chapter on Art in Egypt and Mesopotamia The art of any artistically gifted people may be studied. With various purposes and in various ways. One man, being himself an artist, may seek inspiration or guidance for his own, practice; another, being a student of the history of-civilization, may strive to com prehend the products of art as one manifestation of a people's spiritual life another may be interested chiefly in tracing the development of artistic processes, forms, and subjects; and so on. But this book has been written in the conviction that the greatest of all motives for studying art, the motive which is and ought to be strongest in most people, is the desire to become acquainted with beautiful and noble things, the things that soothe the cares, and lift the thought? Of man. The historical method of treatment has been adopted as a matter of course, but the emphasis is not laid upon the historical aspects of the subject. The chief aim has been to present characteristic specimens of the finest Greek work that has been preserved to us, and to suggest how they may be intelligently enjoyed. Portu nate they who can carry their studies farther, with the help of less elementary handbooks, of photographs, of casts, or, best of all, of the original monuments.

Download or read book Egyptian art written by Jean Capart and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptian art is perhaps the most impersonal that exists. The artist effaces himself. But he has such an innate sense of life, a sense so directly moved and so limpid that everything of life which he describes seems defi ned by that sense, to issue from the natural gesture, from the exact attitude, in which one no longer sees stiffness. His impersonality resembles that of the trees bowing in the wind with a single movement and without resistance, or that of the water which wrinkles into equal circles all moving in the same direction. From afar, Egyptian art seems changeless and forever like itself. From nearby, it offers, like that of all the other peoples, the spectacle of great evolutions, of progress toward freedom of expression, of researches in imposed hieratism. Egypt is so far from us that it all seems on the same plane. One forgets that there are fi fteen or twenty centuries, the age of Christianity — between the “Seated Scribe” and the great classic period, twentyfive or thirty centuries, fi fty, perhaps — twice the time that separates us from Pericles and Phidias — between the pyramids and the Saite school, the last living manifestation of the Egyptian ideal. Egypt died of her need of eternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitive Art in Egypt In March 1904 it was published as a separate volume, without any modification of the text. I have been much gratified by the offer of Messrs. H. Grevel 81: Co. To issue an English translation of a revised and enlarged edition. In this way my book will naturally be brought before that public which is perhaps most prepared both to receive and to criticise it. The works of English ethnologists, more especially of Lubbock, Tylor, Lang, Haddon, Frazer, Spencer, and Gillen, were the first to draw attention to a whole series of problems of the greatest importance for a study of the origin of Art. In submitting my work to the English-speaking public, I am aware that those points which ensured its originality for the French public may perhaps give the book the appearance of a compilation, borrowed from the works of English scholars.

Works of art, as such, probably need no introduction. It is because these studies of Egyptian kings have a significance other than that Of their painting that I have been allowed to set down my thoughts concerning them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in Egypt The art of Egypt, like all the rest of its civilisation, is the pro duct of the African soil. If it occasionally took ideas or methods of expression from the peoples with which it was brought into contact by the Pharaohs, its levies were not important enough in the first instance to exercise a durable influence upon its constitution. In a few years, it had so completely assimilated the substance of these as to leave us hardly sensible that any alien influences had interfered, even momentarily, with its ho mogeneity. It was only towards the end, when the race whose mind it had so admirably materialised and translated began to bow beneath the weight of over fifty centuries of existence, that it too declined, lacking strength to defend its superannuated traditions successfully against the new conceptions of beauty set before it by younger races.
