Making Copies in European Art 1400-1600 comprises sixteen essays
that explore the form and function, manner and meaning of copies
after Renaissance works of art. The authors construe copying as a
method of exchange based in the theory and practice of imitation,
and they investigate the artistic techniques that enabled and
facilitated the production of copies. They also ask what patrons
and collectors wanted from a copy, which characteristics of an
artwork were considered copyable, and where and how copies were
stored, studied, displayed, and circulated. Making Copies in
European Art, in addition to studying many unfamiliar pictures,
incorporates previously unpublished documentary materials.

If any scientific object has over the course of human history
aroused the fascination of both scientists and artists worldwide,
it is beyond doubt the moon. The moon is also by far the most
interesting celestial body when it comes to reflecting on the
dualistic nature of photography as applied to the study of the
universe. Against this background, Selene's Two Faces sets out to
look at the scientific purpose, aesthetic expression, and influence
of early lunar drawings, maps and photographs, including spacecraft
imaging. In its approach, Selene's Two Faces is intermedial,
intercultural and interdisciplinary. It brings together not only
various media (photography, maps, engravings, lithographs, globes,
texts), and cultures (from Europe, America and Asia), but also
theoretical perspectives. See inside the book.
Friend of ferrets, liberator of lions, singer of new songs and
lover of little pachyderms, Meg has her own perspective of the
world from the vagaries of time to the delights of wondering where
a butterfly goes. She and her ferret take on to-do lists, two
wheelers and the true definition of being special in verse and line
drawings that are both simple and profound.
