Photographing, Exploring and Exhibiting Russian Turkestan - Central Asia on Display (Paperback): Inessa Kouteinikova Photographing, Exploring and Exhibiting Russian Turkestan - Central Asia on Display (Paperback)
Inessa Kouteinikova
R1,239 Discovery Miles 12 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book illuminates the crucial role photography played from the very beginning of the Russian colonial presence in Central Asia and its entanglement with the orientalist legacy that followed. Inessa Kouteinikova examines these under-studied materials while also addressing the photographic market and reception of photography in the Russian Empire, the position of the popular press, the place of public exhibitions and emergence of the first ethnographic museums that took pace from Moscow to Tashkent during the time of the Russian conquest. This book embraces the dominant mode for representing the new colonial territories in the mid-late-19th-century Russia, by outlining the technical, commercial and artistic milieus during the Golden Age of Russian orientalism. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of photography and Russian studies.

Pre-State Photographic Archives and the Zionist Movement (Hardcover): Rotem Rozental Pre-State Photographic Archives and the Zionist Movement (Hardcover)
Rotem Rozental
R4,069 Discovery Miles 40 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

By entering and critically re-activating the Zionist photographic archive established by the Division of Journalism and Propaganda of the Jewish National Fund, this research examines its rippling impact on civil landscapes prior to 1948 in Palestine, and its lasting impact on the region to date. This study argues that the Zionist movement makes particular use of the machinery of the photographic archive, aiming to constitute the boundaries of Palestine as a Jewish state, claiming ownership over the land and announcing internationally the success of its enterprise, thus substantiating the image it sought to embed as the "reality" of the land. This archive was not stand-alone, as it was functioning in relation to a vast, complicated network of organizational systems and technologies, in the Middle East and across the world. Crucially, this system functioned as a national archive in future tense, for a nation-state that was not yet in existence, seeking to substantiate its regional authority and shape its cultural repository, outlining parameters for inclusion and exclusion from its civic space. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, photography history, visual culture, Jewish studies, Israel studies, and Middle East studies.

Survey Practices and Landscape Photography Across the Globe (Hardcover): Sophie Junge, Erin Hyde Nolan Survey Practices and Landscape Photography Across the Globe (Hardcover)
Sophie Junge, Erin Hyde Nolan
R4,088 Discovery Miles 40 880 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This edited volume considers the many ways in which landscape (seen and unseen) is fundamental to placemaking, colonial settlement, and identity formation. Collectively, the book's authors map a constellation of interlocking photographic histories and survey practices, decentering Europe as the origin of camera-based surveillance. The volume charts a conversation across continents - connecting Europe, Africa, the Arab World, Asia, and the Americas. It does not segregate places, histories, and traditions but rather puts them in dialogue with one another, establishing solidarity across ever-shifting national, linguistic, racial, religious, and ethnic. Refusing the neat organization of survey photographs into national or imperial narratives, these essays celebrate the messy, cross-cultural reverberations of landscape over the past 170 years. Considering the visual, social, and historical networks in which these images circulate, this anthology connects the many entangled and political histories of photography in order to reframe survey practices and the multidimensionality of landscape as an international phenomenon. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, history of photography, and landscape history.

Art-Based Research in the Context of a Global Pandemic (Hardcover): Usva Seregina, Astrid Van den Bossche Art-Based Research in the Context of a Global Pandemic (Hardcover)
Usva Seregina, Astrid Van den Bossche
R4,501 Discovery Miles 45 010 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Living through the Covid-19 global pandemic has changed the way that we experience our lives, the way that we relate to one-another, and the way that we engage with the world. Focusing contextually on the initial lockdowns of the pandemic in 2020, this book proposes that art-based research has a central, illuminative role to play in our understanding of unfolding crises. The changes brought on by the global event may not be readily accessible or expressible through traditional academic research. Art-based research offers the opportunity to explore, document, and reflect on the emerging and often ineffable qualities of transformed lives by drawing on emotional, bodily, and interactive aspects of experience. Such an approach allows for meaning-making that makes room for reflexive, interpersonal, and dialogical engagement. The contributions aim to capture and explore lived experiences of the pandemic, as well as begin a discussion about how meaning-making is changing through and beyond the pandemic. This book further explores how the nature and practice of art-based research in itself has been challenged and transformed. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art education, art psychotherapy, consumer research, visual studies, cultural studies, and sociology.

Egon Schiele and the Art of Popular Illustration (Hardcover): Claude Cernuschi Egon Schiele and the Art of Popular Illustration (Hardcover)
Claude Cernuschi
R4,507 Discovery Miles 45 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Presenting a radically different picture of Egon Schiele's work, this study documents (in one-to-one comparisons) the extent of the artist's visual borrowings from the Viennese humoristic journal, Die Muskete. Claude Cernuschi analyzes each comparison on a case-by-case basis, primarily because the interpretation of cartoons and caricatures is highly contingent on their specific historical and cultural context. Although this connection has gone unnoticed in the literature, in retrospect, this correlation makes perfect sense. Not only was Schiele's artistic production frequently compared to caricature (and derided for being "grotesque"), but Expressionism and caricature are natural allies. One may belong to "high" art and the other to "popular" culture, yet both presuppose similar assumptions and deploy a similar rhetorical position: namely, that the exaggeration of human physiognomy allows deeper psychological "truths" to emerge. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, popular culture, and politics.

Wayfinding, Consumption, and Air Terminal Design (Paperback): Menno Hubregtse Wayfinding, Consumption, and Air Terminal Design (Paperback)
Menno Hubregtse
R1,406 Discovery Miles 14 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book investigates how international air terminals organize passenger movement and generate spending. It offers a new understanding of how their architecture and artworks operate visually to guide people through the space and affect their behaviour. Menno Hubregtse's research draws upon numerous airport visits and interviews with architects and planners, as well as documents and articles that address these terminals' development, construction, and renovations. The book establishes the main concerns of architects with respect to wayfinding strategies and analyzes how air terminal architecture, artworks, and interior design contribute to the airport's operations. The book will be of interest to art historians, architectural historians, practising architects, urban planners, airport specialists, and geographers.

Painting, Politics, and the New Front of Cold War Italy (Hardcover, New Ed): Adrian R. Duran Painting, Politics, and the New Front of Cold War Italy (Hardcover, New Ed)
Adrian R. Duran
R4,634 Discovery Miles 46 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The first English-language monograph on Il Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, this study explores the rise and fall of this postwar Italian artists' group as a representative instance of the tensions facing Italian painting during the transition out of two decades of Fascism and into the global divisions of the Cold War. Adrian Duran argues that the binary structures of the era - realism vs. abstraction, Communism vs. democracy, conformism vs. freedom - have monopolized the discourse surrounding the Fronte Nuovo and, with it, the historiography of Italian painting during this period, 1944-50. Beginning with the dialogues that framed the formation of the Fronte Nuovo, this book reconsiders artists' works, correspondence, critical writings, and manifestos. These are married to examinations of specific exhibitions, the most important of which are the group's 1947 inaugural exhibition and the 1948 and 1950 Venice Biennali. The critical responses to these exhibitions are reconsidered in light of their groundings in the heated political debates of the period. In total, these diverse sources reveal the vast divide between the internal discourse of the arts, generated by the participant artists and their works, and the surrounding politics of Cold War Italy.

Art, Gender and Religious Devotion in Grand Ducal Tuscany (Hardcover, New edition): Alice E Sanger Art, Gender and Religious Devotion in Grand Ducal Tuscany (Hardcover, New edition)
Alice E Sanger
R4,636 Discovery Miles 46 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Art, Gender and Religious Devotion in Grand Ducal Tuscany focuses on the intersection of the visual and the sacred at the Medici court of the later sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries in relation to issues of gender. Through a series of case studies carefully chosen to highlight key roles and key interventions of Medici women, this book embraces the diversity of their activities, from their public appearances at the centre of processionals such as the bridal entrata, to the commissioning and collecting of art objects and the overseeing of architectural projects, to an array of other activities to which these women applied themselves with particular force and vigour: regular and special devotions, visits to churches and convents, pilgrimages and relic collecting. Positing Medici women's patronage as a network of devotional, entrepreneurial and cultural activities that depended on seeing and being seen, Alice E. Sanger examines the specific religious context in which the Medici grand duchesses operated, arguing that these patrons' cultural interests responded not only to aesthetic concerns and the demands of personal faith, but also to dynastic interests, issues of leadership and authority, and the needs of Catholic reform. By examining the religious dimensions of the grand duchesses' art patronage and collecting activities alongside their visually resonant devotional and public acts, Sanger adds a new dimension to the current scholarship on Medici women's patronage.

The Police Composite Sketch (Hardcover, 2010 ed.): Stephen Mancusi The Police Composite Sketch (Hardcover, 2010 ed.)
Stephen Mancusi
R4,357 Discovery Miles 43 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The police composite sketch, one of the most crucial investigative tools in law enforcement, is developed during a composite session-an intense display of communication and art in which the words of a witness are transformed into the features of a suspect. Despite the incredible technological leaps made in investigative work, the forensic science of composite sketching still relies on the basic elements of drawing skill, interpretive ability and the spoken word. The Police Composite Sketch is a comprehensive manual on how to conduct a complete composite session. Through an array of case studies, it details several disciplines that comprise this specialized forensic art, including composite sketching, image modification, age progression, facial comparison analysis, demonstrative evidence and postmortem/skull reconstruction. It also explores how to intuit insights that are often inadvertently revealed by witnesses, victims and perpetrators during the composite session. In addition, this book discusses other relevant topics, such as the three-stage drawing technique, witness and victim types, descriptive terminologies, managing composite sessions. Complete with numerous illustrations and drawing tips, this seminal work offers a general composite session philosophy and specific session strategies to both experienced and aspiring forensic artists as well as any lay reader intrigued by this fascinating skill.

Sculpting Doughboys - Memory, Gender, and Taste in America's World War I Memorials (Hardcover, New Ed): Jennifer Wingate Sculpting Doughboys - Memory, Gender, and Taste in America's World War I Memorials (Hardcover, New Ed)
Jennifer Wingate
R4,640 Discovery Miles 46 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Redressing the neglect of World War I memorials in art history scholarship and memory studies, Sculpting Doughboys considers the hundreds of sculptures of American soldiers that dominated the nation's sculptural commemorative landscape after World War I. To better understand these 'doughboys', the name given to both members of the American Expeditionary Forces and the memorials erected in their image, this volume also considers their sculptural alternatives, including depictions of motherhood, nude male allegories, and expressions of anti-militarism. It addresses why doughboy sculptures came to occupy such a significant presence in interwar commemoration, even though art critics objected to their unrefined realism, by considering the social upheavals of the Red Scare, America's burgeoning consumer and popular culture, and the ambitions and idiosyncrasies of artists and communities across the country. In doing so, this study also highlights the social and cultural tensions of the period as debates grew over art's changing role in society and as more women and immigrant sculptors vied for a place and a voice in America's public sphere. Finally, Sculpting Doughboys addresses the fate of these memorials nearly a century after they were dedicated and poses questions for reframing our relationship with war memorials today.

Suffering and Sentiment in Romantic Military Art (Hardcover, New Ed): Philip Shaw Suffering and Sentiment in Romantic Military Art (Hardcover, New Ed)
Philip Shaw
R4,629 Discovery Miles 46 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In a moving intervention into Romantic-era depictions of the dead and wounded, Philip Shaw's timely study directs our gaze to the neglected figure of the common soldier. How suffering and sentiment were portrayed in a variety of visual and verbal media is Shaw's particular concern, as he examines a wide range of print and visual media, from paintings to sketches to political prose and anti-war poetry, and from writings on culture and aesthetics to graphic satires and early photographs. Whilst classical portraiture and history painting certainly conspired with official ideologies to deflect attention from the true costs of war, other works of art, literary as well as visual, proffered representations that countered the view that suffering on and off the battlefield is noble or heroic. Shaw uncovers a history of changing attitudes towards suffering, from mid-eighteenth century ambivalence to late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century concepts of moral sentiment. Thus, Shaw's story is one of how images of death and wounding facilitated and queried these shifts in the perception of war, qualifying as well as consolidating ideas of individual and national unanimity. Informed by readings of the letters and journals of serving soldiers, surgeons' notebooks and sketches, and the writings of peace and war agitators, Shaw's study shows how an attention to the depiction of suffering and the development of 'liberal' sentiment enables a reconfiguring of historical and theoretical notions of the body as a site of pain and as a locus of violent national imaginings.

Bauhaus Effects in Art, Architecture, and Design (Hardcover): Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Sabine T Kriebel Bauhaus Effects in Art, Architecture, and Design (Hardcover)
Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Sabine T Kriebel
R4,521 Discovery Miles 45 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Bringing together an international team of scholars, this book offers new perspectives on the impact that the Bauhaus and its teaching had on a wide range of artistic practices. Three of the fields in which the Bauhaus generated immediately transformative effects were housing, typography, and photography. Contributors go further to chart the surprising relation of the school to contemporary developments in hairstyling and shop window display in unprecedented detail. New scholarship has detailed the degree to which Bauhaus faculty and students set off around the world, but it has seldom paid attention to its impact in communist East Germany or in countries like Ireland where no Bauhausler settled. This wide-ranging collection makes clear that a century after its founding, many new stories remain to be told about the influence of the twentieth century's most innovative arts institution. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design history, photography, and architectural history.

Post Critical Museology - Theory and Practice in the Art Museum (Hardcover, First Tion): Andrew Dewdney, David Dibosa, Victoria... Post Critical Museology - Theory and Practice in the Art Museum (Hardcover, First Tion)
Andrew Dewdney, David Dibosa, Victoria Walsh
R4,505 Discovery Miles 45 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Post-Critical Museology considers what the role of the public and the experience of audiences means to the everyday work of the art museum. It does this from the perspectives of the art museum itself as well as from the visitors it seeks. Through the analysis of material gathered from a major collaborative research project carried out at Tate Britain in London the book develops a conceptual reconfiguration of the relationship between art, culture and society in which questions about the art museum s relationship to global migration and the new media ecologies are examined. It suggests that whilst European museums have previously been studied as institutions of collection, heritage and tradition, however modern their focus, it is now better to consider them as distributive networks in which value travels along transmedial and transcultural lines.

Post-Critical Museology is intended as a contribution to progressive museological thinking and practice and calls for a new alignment of academics and professionals in what it announces as post-critical museology. An alignment that is committed to rethinking what an art museum in the twenty-first century could be, as well as what knowledge and understanding its future practitioners might draw upon in a rapidly changing social and cultural context. The book aims to be essential reading in the growing field of museum studies. It will also be of professional interest to all those working in the cultural sphere, including museum professionals, policy makers and art managers.

Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Photographs - Essays on Reading a Collection (Hardcover, New Ed): Micheline Nilsen Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Photographs - Essays on Reading a Collection (Hardcover, New Ed)
Micheline Nilsen
R4,637 Discovery Miles 46 370 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Revealing that nineteenth-century photography goes beyond the functional to reflect the aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural concerns of the time, this study proposes that each photographic image of architecture be studied both as a primary visual document and an object of aesthetic inquiry. This multi-faceted approach drives Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Photographs: Essays on Reading a Collection. Despite three decades of post-colonial, post-structuralist and gender-conscious criticism, the study of architectural photography continues to privilege technical virtuosity. This volume offers a thematic exploration of the material, and a socio-historical examination that allows consideration of questions that have not been addressed comprehensively before in a single publication. Themes include exoticism and "armchair tourism"; the absence of women from architectural photography; the role of photographs as commodities; vernacular architecture and the picturesque; and historic preservation, urban renewal, and nationalism. Micheline Nilsen analyzes photographs from France and England"the two countries where photography was invented"and from around the world, representing a corpus of over 10,000 photographs from the Janos Scholz Collection of Nineteenth-Century Photographs of the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame.

Writing Art - French Literary Responses to the Work of Alberto Giacometti (Paperback, New edition): Emma Wagstaff Writing Art - French Literary Responses to the Work of Alberto Giacometti (Paperback, New edition)
Emma Wagstaff
R1,380 Discovery Miles 13 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti participated in Parisian literary and cultural circles from the early meetings of the Surrealists to existentialism and the diverse currents in art and poetry that followed. Numerous writers were inspired to respond to his sculpture, drawing, painting and publications during his lifetime and after his death in 1966. This book considers examples of poesie critique devoted to Giacometti's work by major French poets and thinkers from Andre Breton to Yves Bonnefoy. Through close readings of key texts, it discusses the extent to which each writer has succeeded in overcoming the dichotomy between a text and its visual stimulus that so often leads to a hierarchical relationship. Many of these writers focus on the materiality of Giacometti's works of art and of the written word. Examination of their writings thus allows new understandings of poesie critique and ekphrasis to be developed.

R6,685 Discovery Miles 66 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is highly interdisciplinary and this increases the probability that it will be of interest not only to scholars but as a course text in Science & Technology Studies, Science Communication, Science Policy, Visual Culture, and Art Studies. This book has a relatively low degree of competition, because other texts in the area have been written for advanced scholars focuses on the bridge between two fields (biology and dance or physics and photography) rather than a broad text which coalesces the broader Science Studies and Art landscape. The book is timely and has general appeal and could appear in science or art museum bookstores because of its introductory level and the excitement from the public for art-science work. The editors represent the first generation of scholars to receive their PhDs in this area and thus have a comprehensive understanding of the field, emerging work in this area, and the uses of such a handbook in the classroom. This book is unique the variety of methods from ethnographies to histories to curation practices to outreach activities that will be covered, so portions of the book will likely be applicable to many practitioners outside of academia. Outlets like A2RU, Leonardo, and SLSA conferences and listings will likely sales targets, but so will organizations like science centers with visiting artists, communication and outreach conferences sponsored by science societies, OBSF Environmental and Biological field stations which teach art and humanities courses, the NSF-funded LTER network which supports "Ecological Reflections," a major humanities and arts component, as well as art collectives and galleries that host science and technology shows and residencies.
