Book Synopsis The Life of August Wilhelm Schlegel, Cosmopolitan of Art and Poetry by : Roger Paulin
Download or read book The Life of August Wilhelm Schlegel, Cosmopolitan of Art and Poetry written by Roger Paulin and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-scale biography, in any language, of a towering figure in German and European Romanticism: August Wilhelm Schlegel whose life, 1767 to 1845, coincided with its inexorable rise. As poet, translator, critic and oriental scholar, Schlegel's extraordinarily diverse interests and writings left a vast intellectual legacy, making him a foundational figure in several branches of knowledge. He was one of the last thinkers in Europe able to practise as well as to theorise, and to attempt to comprehend the nature of culture without being forced to be a narrow specialist. With his brother Friedrich, for example, Schlegel edited the avant-garde Romantic periodical Athenaeum; and he produced with his wife Caroline a translation of Shakespeare, the first metrical version into any foreign language. Schlegel's Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature were a defining force for Coleridge and for the French Romantics. But his interests extended to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese literature, as well to the Greek and Latin classics, and to Sanskrit. August Wilhelm Schlegel is the first attempt to engage with this totality, to combine an account of Schlegel’s life and times with a critical evaluation of his work and its influence. Through the study of one man's rich life, incorporating the most recent scholarship, theoretical approaches, and archival resources, while remaining easily accessible to all readers, Paulin has recovered the intellectual climate of Romanticism in Germany and traced its development into a still-potent international movement. The extraordinarily wide scope and variety of Schlegel's activities have hitherto acted as a barrier to literary scholars, even in Germany. In Roger Paulin, whose career has given him the knowledge and the experience to grapple with such an ambitious project, Schlegel has at last found a worthy exponent.

Book Synopsis Alice Neel: People Come First by : Kelly Baum
Download or read book Alice Neel: People Come First written by Kelly Baum and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For me, people come first," Alice Neel (1900–1984) declared in 1950. "I have tried to assert the dignity and eternal importance of the human being." This ambitious publication surveys Neel's nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York's global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel's emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist’s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel's portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel's highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.

Book Synopsis Neo-Calvinism and the French Revolution by : James Eglinton
Download or read book Neo-Calvinism and the French Revolution written by James Eglinton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolution was the scene of much intellectual and social upheaval. Its impact touched a wide range of subjects: the relationship of the church to the state, social relationships, science, literature, fashion, philosophy and theology. Although the French Revolution's momentum was felt across Europe and North America, it met a particularly interesting response in the Netherlands, at that time the scene of a burgeoning neo-Calvinist movement. In that context, the likes of Groen van Prinsterer, Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck responded to the French Revolution's ideals and influence in a variety of intellectual and practical ways.This book approaches that Dutch response from a range of historical and theological perspectives, and in so doing explores the relationship between the French Revolution and the development of neo-Calvinism. Beginning with historical portraits of Bavinck and Kuyper in relation to the Revolution, the perspectives offered also include, amongst others, the place of multilingualism in neo-Calvinism and the Revolution, neo-Calvinist and Revolutionary approaches to fashion, a dialogue between Kuyperian theology and Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, and a contemporary neo-Calvinist critique of French laïcité. This book forms part of a wider Project neo-Calvinism supported by the Theologische Universiteit Kampen and the VU University Amsterdam.
Download or read book Never Stop Dancing written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive iconography of François-Marie Banier's latest body of work, Never stop dancing, stems from his unconditional interest in every single subject. Predominantly shot in Paris, New York, Brazil and Africa within the last couple of years, this book celebrates the good old days of analogue photography as much as human beings in all their diversity. Banier's dictum that "everybody is a piece of art" has materialized in this volume glooming in neatly printed black and white. François-Marie Banier was born in Paris in 1947. A novelist and playwright, he has also been taking photographs of public figures and anonymous people in the street since the 1970s. In 1991, the Centre Pompidou in Paris exhibited his photographic works for the first time, and further exhibitions have since been organized throughout Europe, in Asia and in America. The Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris presented a retrospective in 2003, exhibiting his "written" and "painted" photographs for the first time. He lives and works in Paris.
Book Synopsis MARTIN D ́ORGEVAL by : Martin D'Orgeval
Download or read book MARTIN D ́ORGEVAL written by Martin D'Orgeval and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Martin d'Orgeval's fifth monograph, Découpages, the land lies dry, bleak and deserted. No humans pass through this almost phantasmal and blurred terra incognita, captured in mellow black and white. However, the young Frenchman does not present nightmarish sceneries in his imaginary country. It is just his unmitigated attention to shapes and shades, lines and surfaces that challenges our ingrained viewing habits. Embedded in d'Orgeval's clean but warm encounter with the world's objects, the reader embarks on an exceptional and touching journey to an unknown territory. Through documentary style, in reshaping the landscape into natural processed drawings and "decoupages" (cut-outs), d'Orgeval rediscovers what William Henry Fox Talbot, the English inventor of photography, coined The Pencil of Nature, his famous book from 1844-46, and gives this concept a new existence.

Download or read book Vatnasafn/Library of Water written by Roni Horn and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2009 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sited in a converted library building on a promontory overlooking the ocean in the town of Stykkish�lmur on the west coast of Iceland, VATNASAFN / LIBRARY OF WATER incorporates many of Roni Horn's abiding artistic concerns with water and weather, reflection and illumination, and the fluid nature of identity. Twenty-four glass columns containing water from glaciers around Iceland refract and reflect the day into a rubber floor embedded with words used to describe weather, inside or out. VATNASAFN / LIBRARY OF WATER also offers a space for community gatherings, a studio for writers, and it houses an oral archive of weather reports gathered from people who live in and around Stykkish�lmur. This book surveys the interconnecting elements of Roni Horn's long-term project on the island through a series of image sequences and texts. It also includes a selection of writings by the artist inspired by her experience of being in Iceland.
