Book Synopsis Treasuring the Gaze by : Hanneke Grootenboer
Download or read book Treasuring the Gaze written by Hanneke Grootenboer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes that were exchanged by lovers or family members. Worn as brooches or pendants, these minuscule eyes served the same emotional need as more conventional mementoes, such as lockets containing a coil of a loved one’s hair. The fashion lasted only a few decades, and by the early 1800s eye miniatures had faded into oblivion. Unearthing these portraits in Treasuring the Gaze, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes that the rage for eye miniatures—and their abrupt disappearance—reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision. Drawing on Alois Riegl, Jean-Luc Nancy, Marcia Pointon, Melanie Klein, and others, Grootenboer unravels this knot, discovering previously unseen patterns of looking and strategies for showing. She shows that eye miniatures portray the subject’s gaze rather than his or her eye, making the recipient of the keepsake an exclusive beholder who is perpetually watched. These treasured portraits always return the looks they receive and, as such, they create a reciprocal mode of viewing that Grootenboer calls intimate vision. Recounting stories about eye miniatures—including the role one played in the scandalous affair of Mrs. Fitzherbert and the Prince of Wales, a portrait of the mesmerizing eye of Lord Byron, and the loss and longing incorporated in crying eye miniatures—Grootenboer shows that intimate vision brings the gaze of another deep into the heart of private experience. With a host of fascinating imagery from this eccentric and mostly forgotten yet deeply private keepsake, Treasuring the Gaze provides new insights into the art of miniature painting and the genre of portraiture.

Book excerpt: When Treasure woke up after an incident that took her life, she realized that she had returned to her twenty-three-year-old self—back when she was labeled as the most hated woman in the Empire. She was, once again, married to Reagan Trace Arzen, the reigning Emperor of the Arzen Empire; the man who hated her the most… and the father of her children. She was the vilest woman who ever existed. After having so many regrets about the way she lived her first life, Treasure decided to change her fate to avoid the death that awaited her in the future and to live a life solely for the children who hated her. Determined to change her fate, she was also on the lookout for the woman who was fated for Reagan; aware that her husband was fated to another. But the sudden changes in her didn’t go unnoticed… and Reagan is determined to keep her by his side whether she likes it or not.

Download or read book Rembrandt's Eyes written by Simon Schama and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Rembrandt, as for Shakespeare, all the world was indeed a stage, and he knew in exhaustive detail the tactics of its performance: the strutting and mincing, the wardrobe and face-paint, the full repertoire and gesture and gimace, the flutter of hands and the roll of the eyes, the belly-laugh and the half-stifled sob. He knew what it looked like to seduce, to intimidate, to wheedle and to console; to strike a pose or preach a sermon, to shake a fist or uncover a breast; and how to sin and how to atone. No artist had ever been so fascinated by the fashioning of personae, beginning with his own. No painter ever looked with such unsparing intelligence or such bottomless compassion at our entrances and our exits and the whole rowdy show in between.
