Download or read book Ancient Art from Cyprus written by Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2000 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Cesnola Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the richest and most varied representation, outside Cyprus, of Cypriot antiquities. These works were purchased by the newly established Museum in the mid-1870s from General Luigi Palma di Cesnola, a Civil War cavalry officer who had amassed the objects while serving as the American consul on Cyprus." "This catalogue is published on the occasion of the opening of the Museum's four permanent galleries for ancient art from Cyprus. It is also the first scholarly publication since 1914 devoted to the Cesnola Collection (which totals approximately six thousand objects). The volume features some five hundred pieces from the collection, illustrated in new color photography. Dating from about 2500 B.C. to about A.D. 300, these works rank among the finest examples of Cypriot art from the prehistoric, Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. Among the objects are monumental sculpture; weapons, tools, and domestic utensils; vases, lamps, and ritual paraphernalia; dedicatory figurines; engraved sealstones and jewelry; and luxury objects."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book History of Art written by Horst Woldemar Janson and published by Prentice Hall Professional. This book was released on 2004 with total page 1042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For forty years, this widely acclaimed classic has remained unsurpassed as an introduction to art in the Western world, boasting the matchless credibility of the Janson name. This newest update features a more contemporary, more colorful design and vast array of extraordinarily produced illustrations that have become the Janson hallmark. A narrative voice makes this book a truly enjoyable read, and carefully reviewed and revised updates to this edition offer the utmost clarity in contributions based on recent scholarship. Extensive captions for the book’s incredible art program offer profound insight through the eyes of twentieth-century art historians speaking about specific pieces of art featured throughout. Significantly changed in this edition is the chapter on “The Late Renaissance,” in which Janson offers a new perspective on the subject, tracing in detail the religious art tied to the Catholic Reform movement, whose early history is little known to many readers of art history. Janson has also rearranged early Renaissance art according to genres instead of time sequence, and he has followed the reinterpretation of Etruscan art begun in recent years by German and English art historians. With a truly humanist approach, this book gives written and visual meaning to the captivating story of what artists have tried to express—and why—for more than 30,000 years.

Download or read book Continuity and Change in Art written by Sidney J. Blatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The representation of the form of objects and of space in painting, from paleolithic through contemporary time, has become increasingly integrated, complex, and abstract. Based on a synthesis of concepts drawn from the theories of Piaget and Freud, this book demonstrates that modes of representation in art evolve in a natural developmental order and are expressions of the predominant mode of thought in their particular cultural epoch. They reflect important features of the social order and are expressed in other intellectual endeavors as well, especially in concepts of science. A fascinating evaluation of the development of cognitive processes and the formal properties of art, this work should appeal to professionals and graduate students in developmental, cognitive, aesthetic, personality, and clinical psychology; to psychoanalysts interested in developmental theory; and to anyone interested in cultural history -- especially the history of art and the history of science.

Download or read book Portraits written by John Walker and published by New York : Abrams. This book was released on 1983 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraiture is a mirror of all mankind, and since its earliest beginnings has been a major art form. Almost every first-rate artist has produced at least one fine example; almost every prominent person has had his or her features immortalized in paint or stone. In this endlessly intriguing volume John Walker writes with humor and charm about the men, women, and children -- even a few animals -- who have sat for the portraits in this book. The 301 magnificent illustrations in this book allow comparisons among various stylistically different forms of portraiture, from the profound psychological interpretations of the Hellenistic Greeks, of Rembrandt, Cézanne, and the Expressionists, to the grand "society" portraits of the imperial Romans, Velázquez, Renoir, and Sargent, to the warm, informal likenesses of Hogarth, Delacroix, and Augustus John. From an Egyptian statuette of an early pharaoh to the bronze bust of a contemporary cowboy, they prove that for 50 centuries, human appearance has been the starting point for works of art that embody the heights of human emotion and intelligence. -- From publisher's description.

Van Keuren's work aims to enable students both to use these tools and to devise projects for their own research. After a major reference is presented, handbooks and monographs are successively identified in ways that suggest patterns of information. These patterns will allow students to formulate hypotheses to undertake original research. With use of the library collection, original questions can be asked and answered.
