Book Synopsis Pierrot and his world by : Marika Takanishi Knowles
Download or read book Pierrot and his world written by Marika Takanishi Knowles and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierrot, a theatrical stock character known by his distinctive costume of loose white tunic and trousers, is a ubiquitous figure in French art and culture. This richly illustrated book offers an account of Pierrot’s recurrence in painting, printmaking, photography and film, tracing this distinctive type from the art of Antoine Watteau to the cinema of Occupied France. As a visual type, Pierrot thrives at the intersection of theatrical and marketplace practices. From Watteau’s Pierrot (c. 1720) and Édouard Manet’s The Old Musician (1862) to Nadar and Adrien Tournachon’s Pierrot the Photographer (1855) and the landmark film Children of Paradise (1945), Pierrot has given artists a medium through which to explore the marketplace as a form for both social life and creative practice. Simultaneously a human figure and a theatrical mask, Pierrot elicits artistic reflection on the representation of personality in the marketplace.

Book Synopsis Where All Knowledge Is Derived Through Colour by : Marcel Perrot
Download or read book Where All Knowledge Is Derived Through Colour written by Marcel Perrot and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book comprises of some dialogues between Pierrot and the three empiricists, Locke, Berkeley and Hume, and as Pierrot discusses with them about the empiricism of colour, and he contrasts his own views on colour and experience with the three empiricists separately. Firstly, there are six dialogues between Pierrot and the empiricists about colour and empiricism. And secondly I have written some dialogues of Plato and Aristotle, and as Empedocles, Democritus and Epicurus have much to say on physics and metaphysics. And because Plato and Aristotle both advocate metaphysics, and Empedocles, Democritus and Epicurus, the three of them advocate physics, and they reject metaphysics. And furthermore, Empedocles, Democritus, and Epicurus, the three of them would like to differ with Aristotle on the physics of the world.

Book Synopsis Aphra Behn’s 'Emperor of the Moon' and its French Source 'Arlequin, Empereur dans la lune' by : Judy A. Hayden
Download or read book Aphra Behn’s 'Emperor of the Moon' and its French Source 'Arlequin, Empereur dans la lune' written by Judy A. Hayden and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphra Behn’s spectacular farce, Emperor of the Moon (1687), so engaged audiences that it was restaged well into the eighteenth century. Her play was largely adapted from Anne Mauduit de Fatouville’s Arlequin, Empereur dans la lune (1684), a commedia dell’arte production by the Comédie-Italienne troupe, a performance which also proved immensely popular with Parisian audiences. Within its witty and amusing three acts, Behn’s play explores a number of contemporary concerns — from commedia dell’arte, to gender and politics, to science and astronomy, including a plurality of worlds, for example — all culminating in the third act’s operatic spectacle. This volume offers a transcription of Behn’s 1687 play with extensive annotations, a critical discussion of Behn’s text, and the first English translation of Fatouville’s eight French and Italian scenes.

Book Synopsis “Don’t Forget The Pierrots!'' The Complete History of British Pierrot Troupes & Concert Parties by : Tony Lidington
Download or read book “Don’t Forget The Pierrots!'' The Complete History of British Pierrot Troupes & Concert Parties written by Tony Lidington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first authoritative historical textbook to look at the origins, development and evolution of seaside pierrot troupes and concert parties and their popular performance heritage. It will provide, for the first time, a definition of the pierrot troupe and its evolution from the roots of European popular traditions such as the commedia dell’arte and minstrelsy, to links between music hall and contemporary popular culture. Tony Lidington will explore how pierrot troupes grew from a single idea into a major international cultural industry and how it boosted morale and national identity during the two World Wars, before sublimating into contemporary pop music and comedy. Tony’s continuing practice as research provides an experiential framework for the historical and ethnographic analysis of the form. This book will be of vital interest to students, researchers, and performers of outdoor (al fresco) arts, clowning and comedy, minstrelsy, vernacular music-making and music hall.
