Book Synopsis Sculpture 120 illustrations by : Victoria Charles
Download or read book Sculpture 120 illustrations written by Victoria Charles and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bien que la sculpture soit née avant la peinture, elle a longtemps été considérée comme un simple complément de l'architecture, le plus ancien des trois arts majeurs. Utilisant les mêmes matériaux (bois, pierre, et marbre), elle semblait n'être faite que pour servir d'ornementation à cette dernière. Elle a pu cependant imposer peu à peu sa valeur propre et son autonomie.Cette indépendance est venue avec le besoin de représenter le corps humain. L'homme admirait d'abord l'univers dans son entier. Mais il se tourna ensuite vers la contemplation de son propre corps, qu'il perçut comme le seul capable, parmi toutes les formes de la nature, de correspondre pleinement à son esprit et ses aspirations. Il s'agissait toutefois d'un corps d'une beauté supéririeure, régi par des lois de proportion et de symétrie, un corps idéal, réinventé en fait par le travail des sculpteurs ! C'est ainsi que naquirent une longue tradition et évolution de la sculpture. Cet ouvrage propose au lecteur 23 000 ans de sculpture et plus de 120 exemples parmi les plus belles sculptures du monde : de l'art préhistorique à Henry Moore, sans oublier la statuaire égyptienne, Michel-Ange ou Niki de Saint-Phalle.

Download or read book Martin Puryear written by Mark Pascale and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a major contemporary sculptor, featuring many previously unseen works on paper American sculptor Martin Puryear (b. 1941) creates work that combines the clean elegance of minimalism and the simplicity of traditional materials. His stunning sculptures explore themes of identity, ethnicity, and history, and are rich with social and cultural commentary. Puryear, who is known for abstract, large-scale pieces in wood, stone, and bronze, has captured the attention of the art world for the past 30 years. Despite the apparent simplicity of his works, however, he engages in an extensive iterative process that has, until now, been unknown. Martin Puryear: Multiple Dimensions explores that process, featuring numerous drawings, prints, and small-scale sculptures that have never before been published. This catalogue is the first to examine Puryear's work across media, providing invaluable insight into his visual thinking, from sketches to working drawings and constructions for sculpture. Handsomely illustrated with nearly 120 color plates that demonstrate the evolution of Puryear's ideas between drawings, prints, and sculptures, this beautiful volume draws back the curtain on the methodology of this important and enigmatic artist.

Download or read book Becoming Art written by Howard Morphy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago Australian Aboriginal art was little more than a footnote to world art. Today, it is considered to be an important contemporary art movement, often promoted as being connected to a deep cultural past. Becoming Art provides a new analysis of the shifting cultural and social contexts that surround the production of Aboriginal art. Transcending the boundaries between anthropology and art history, the book draws on arguments from both disciplines to provide a unique interdisciplinary perspective that places the artists themselves at the centre of the argument.Western art history has traditionally regarded Aboriginal art as distanced from time and place. Becoming Art uses the recent history of Aboriginal art to challenge some of the presuppositions of western art discourse and western art worlds. It argues for a more cross-cultural perspective on world art history.

Book Synopsis The 1949 Geneva Conventions by : Andrew Clapham
Download or read book The 1949 Geneva Conventions written by Andrew Clapham and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 1400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four Geneva Conventions, adopted in 1949, remain the fundamental basis of contemporary international humanitarian law. They protect the wounded and sick on the battlefield, those wounded, sick or shipwrecked at sea, prisoners of war, and civilians in time of war. However, since they were adopted warfare has changed considerably. In this groundbreaking commentary over sixty international law experts investigate the application of the Geneva Conventions and explain how they should be interpreted today. It places the Conventions in the light of the developing obligations imposed by international law on states, armed groups, and individuals, most notably through international human rights law and international criminal law. The context in which the Conventions are to be applied and interpreted has changed considerably since they were first written. The borderline between international and non-international armed conflicts is not as clear-cut as was once thought, and is complicated further by the use of armed force mandated by the United Nations and the complex mixed and transnational nature of certain non-international armed conflicts. The influence of other developing branches of international law, such as human rights law and refugee law has been considerable. The development of international criminal law has breathed new life into multiple provisions of the Geneva Conventions. This commentary adopts a thematic approach to provide detailed analysis of each key issue dealt with by the Conventions, taking into account both judicial decisions and state practice. Cross-cutting chapters on issues such as transnational conflicts and the geographical scope of the Conventions also give readers a full understanding of the meaning of the Geneva Conventions in their contemporary context. Prepared under the auspices of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, this commentary on four of the most important treaties in international law is unmissable for anyone working in or studying situations of armed conflicts.
