Accessible, informative guide to one of Te Papa's most popular permanent art exhibitions. The portrait wall in Toi Art, the art gallery within New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa, is the most popular art exhibition for museum visitors. Hung salon-style on dark red walls, its 36 arresting portraits span historical portraiture to contemporary practice, and represent mana. Some trumpet the status of European royalty, Maori leaders, or prosperous colonial settlers in New Zealand. Others advertise the skills of the artist. All carry stories from the past into the present. This handy book details each work in both English and te reo Maori and is the perfect souvenir of a visit to Te Papa and an ideal starting point for exploring questions of art, identity, and cross-cultural exchange.

The art of climbing dis-roped and disrobed. Twenty years ago, Dean Fidelman asked a rock climber to take off her shoes and boulder nude, and his famous series Stone Nudes was born. The stunning black-and-white images of athletic figures captured in motion on cliffs in breathtaking wild landscapes have made Fidelman famous within the climbing community. Fidelman followed his nomadic muses around North America and the world, framing them in the picturesque landscapes of Yosemite Valley; Joshua Tree; Moab, Utah; Patagonia; Europe; and coastal Thailand. The sensual photographs uniquely capture the stark beauty of athletes on the stone, their muscular bodies camouflaging with the formations of the rocks they are poised on. This book will appeal to those interested in climbing, lovers of nude photography, as well as anyone who appreciates breathtaking images of improbable physical feats across stunning landscapes.

The Classical Body in Romantic Britain (Hardcover): Cora Gilroy-Ware The Classical Body in Romantic Britain (Hardcover)
Cora Gilroy-Ware
R1,247 Discovery Miles 12 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A radical, lively departure from received notions about art of the Romantic period For many, the term "neoclassicism" has come to imply discipline, order, restraint, and a certain myopia. Leaving the term behind, this book radically challenges enduring assumptions about the art produced from the late 18th century to the early Victorian period, casting new light on appropriations of the classical body by British artists. It is the first to foreground the intersections of gender, race, and class in discussions of British visual classicism, laying bare artists' alternately politicizing and emphatically sensual engagements with Greco-Roman art. Rather than rely exclusively on subsequent scholarship, the book takes up the poet John Keats (1795-1821) as a theoretical framework. Eschewing the "Golden Age" narrative, which sees J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851) as the pinnacle of the period's artistic achievement, the book examines overlooked artists, such as Henry Howard (1769-1847) and John Graham Lough (1798-1876). The result is a fresh account of underappreciated works of British painting and sculpture.

Text in English & German. Borquez nudes always look honest, authentic, and direct. There is a spark when these women take off their clothes and show their sex appeal for him. There is a fire when they recline on the sofa and look at us, aware of this voyeuristic moment full of sensual tension. Fabio Borquez allows the women to be vamps and sweethearts, but most reveal the Marlene, the femme fatale, and not the innocent angel. He believes that photography is a game with the camera and its rules are written by the moment. A constantly changing moment.

Over 100 females take off their panties and spread their legs in the name of educational / scientific teaching materials. If you are a medical student studying female anatomy, this is commonly thought of as the most vivid and shocking book you could possibly add to your educational curriculum. This collection of intimate nude photographs is intended to demonstrate the open and exposed female genitals and vagina. In addition to general education on the vagina, each full page color photo takes you inside the labia, with parted lips, lips held open, lips pulled aside, etc. There are no closed vaginas in this book, and every picture is up close and very, very personal. This book goes beyond Douglas O'Brian's previous book "100% Vaginas: Close-Up Photography (GRAPHIC)" in terms of the level of intimacy that is displayed, and is more similar in terms of imagery to "101 Gynecology Views" by the same author.

Holbein's Sir Thomas More (Hardcover): Hilary Mantel, Xavier Salomon Holbein's Sir Thomas More (Hardcover)
Hilary Mantel, Xavier Salomon
R498 Discovery Miles 4 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Hans Holbein's famous portrayal of Sir Thomas More is one of the artist's greatest and most popular portraits. In the opening piece of this appealing new volume, "A Letter to Thomas More, Knight", award-winning author Hilary Mantel vividly imagines the background to the creation of this extraordinary portrait, giving it both historical perspective and immediacy. An insightful, concise, scholarly essay by Xavier Salomon grounds it in the art-historical world. Hans Holbein (1497/98-1543) painted Sir Thomas More in 1527, having been a guest in More's house when he first arrived in England. He brilliantly renders his sitter's rich fabrics and unshaven face with sympathy and perception. Frick Diptychs, a new series of small books to be co-published by GILES with The Frick Collection, New York, pairs masterworks from the Frick with critical and literary essays. The novelist Hilary Mantel will be followed by the filmmaker James Ivory on Vermeer's "Mistress and Maid" and the artist and author Edmund de Waal on a pair of porcelain and bronze candlesticks by the 18th-century French metalworker Pierre Gouthiere.

Brilliant Bodies - Fashioning Courtly Men in Early Renaissance Italy (Hardcover): Timothy McCall Brilliant Bodies - Fashioning Courtly Men in Early Renaissance Italy (Hardcover)
Timothy McCall
R2,479 Discovery Miles 24 790 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Italian court culture of the fifteenth century was a golden age, gleaming with dazzling princes, splendid surfaces, and luminous images that separated the lords from the (literally) lackluster masses. In Brilliant Bodies, Timothy McCall describes and interprets the Renaissance glitterati-gorgeously dressed and adorned men-to reveal how charismatic bodies, in the palazzo and the piazza, seduced audiences and materialized power. Fifteenth-century Italian courts put men on display. Here, men were peacocks, attracting attention with scintillating brocades, shining armor, sparkling jewels, and glistening swords, spurs, and sequins. McCall's investigation of these spectacular masculinities challenges widely held assumptions about appropriate male display and adornment. Interpreting surviving objects, visual representations in a wide range of media, and a diverse array of primary textual sources, McCall argues that Renaissance masculine dress was a political phenomenon that fashioned power and patriarchal authority. Brilliant Bodies describes and recontextualizes the technical construction and cultural meanings of attire, casts a critical eye toward the complex and entangled relations between bodies and clothing, and explores the negotiations among makers, wearers, and materials. This groundbreaking study of masculinity makes an important intervention in the history of male ornamentation and fashion by examining a period when the public display of splendid men not only supported but also constituted authority. It will appeal to specialists in art history and fashion history as well as scholars working at the intersections of gender and politics in quattrocento Italy.
