Abstract

The Baroque period lasted from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. Baroque art was artists' response to the Catholic Church's demand for solemn grandeur following the Council of Trent, and through its monumentality and grandiloquence it seduced the great European courts. Amongst the Baroque arts, architecture has, without doubt, left the greatest mark in Europe: the continent is dotted with magnificent Baroque churches and palaces, commissioned by patrons at the height of their power. The works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini of the Southern School and Pet

Abstract

A renowned scholar’s reflections on the romantic period, its disparate participants, and our unacknowledged debt to them With his usual wit and élan, esteemed historian Peter Gay enters the contentious, long-standing debates over the romantic period. Here, in this concise and inviting volume, he reformulates the definition of romanticism and provides a fresh account of the immense achievements of romantic writers and artists in all media. Gay’s scope is wide, his insights sharp. He takes on the recurring questions about how to interpret romantic figures and their works. Who qualifies to be a romantic? What ties together romantic figures who practice in different countries, employ different media, even live in different centuries? How is modernism indebted to romanticism, if at all? Guiding readers through the history of the romantic movement across Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland, Gay argues that the best way to conceptualize romanticism is to accept its complicated nature and acknowledge that there is no “single basket” to contain it. Gay conceives of romantics in “families,” whose individual members share fundamental values but retain unique qualities. He concludes by demonstrating that romanticism extends well into the twentieth century, where its deep and lasting impact may be measured in the work of writers such as T. S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf.

Abstract

De controverse die ontstond rond het kunstwerk Equivalent VIII van Carl Andre, gemaakt van 120 chamottestenen, toont al aan dat niet iedereen dergelijke werken als kunst beschouwde. De auteur van dit boek legt uit waarom de stenen wel degelijk als kunst moeten worden gezien, en tevens waarom het een van de interessantste beeldhouwwerken van de jaren zestig is. Aan dit soort kunstwerken heeft men de term minimalisme toegekend, hoewel de betrokken kunstenaars zichzelf nooit als één groep hebben beschouwd. Toch zijn er wel degeljjk overeenkomsten : hun werken zijn alle abstract, driedimensionaal, modulair en geometrisch. De opzet werd vooraf bedacht, en de uitvoering was doorgaans industrieel te noemen. Deze kenmerken worden in dit boek verder besproken, waarbij het werk van de kunstenaars Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt en Robert Morris centraal staat. Wat zijn de verschillen in hun manier van werken geweest, en welke richting zijn ze ingeslagen? Ook de verschillende interpretaties en vormen van kunstkritiek die het minimalisme tot onderwerp hadden, komen aan bod. Tot slot wordt duidelijk dat het minimalisme niet alleen de toenmalige kunst ingrijpend veranderde, maar ook de huidige generatie nog steeds beïnvloedt.

Abstract

Echoing Joseph Paxton's question at the close of the Great Exhibition, 'What is to become of the Crystal Palace?', this interdisciplinary essay collection argues that there is considerable potential in studying this unique architectural and art-historical document after 1851, when it was rebuilt in the South London suburb of Sydenham. It brings together research on objects, materials and subjects as diverse as those represented under the glass roof of the Sydenham Palace itself; from the Venus de Milo to Sheffield steel, souvenir 'peep eggs' to war memorials, portrait busts to imperial pageants, tropical plants to cartoons made by artists on the spot, copies of paintings from ancient caves in India to 1950's film. Essays do not simply catalogue and collect this eclectic congregation, but provide new ways for assessing the significance of the Sydenham Crystal Palace for both nineteenth- and twentieth-century studies. The volume will be of particular interest to researchers and students of British cultural history, museum studies, and art history.

Abstract

Impressionism captured the world's imagination in the late nineteenth century and remains with us today. Portraying the dynamic effects of modernity, impressionist artists revolutionized the arts and the wider culture. Impressionism transformed the very pattern of reality, introducing new ways to look at and think about the world and our experience of it. Its legacy has been felt in many major contributions to popular and high culture, from cubism and early cinema to the works of Zadie Smith and W. G. Sebald, from advertisements for Pepsi to the observations of Oliver Sacks and Malcolm Gladwell. Yet impressionism's persistence has also been a problem, a matter of inauthenticity, superficiality, and complicity in what is merely "impressionistic" about culture today. Jesse Matz considers these two legacies-the positive and the negative-to explain impressionism's true contemporary significance. As Lasting Impressions moves through contemporary literature, painting, and popular culture, Matz explains how the perceptual role, cultural effects, and social implications of impressionism continue to generate meaning and foster new forms of creativity, understanding, and public engagement.
