Art History - A Critical Introduction to its Methods (Paperback): Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk Art History - A Critical Introduction to its Methods (Paperback)
Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk
R487 Discovery Miles 4 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. -- .

Sculpture Victorious - Art in an Age of Invention, 1837-1901 (Hardcover): Martina Droth, Jason Edwards, Michael Hatt Sculpture Victorious - Art in an Age of Invention, 1837-1901 (Hardcover)
Martina Droth, Jason Edwards, Michael Hatt
R1,807 Discovery Miles 18 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Sculpture Victorious highlights the diversity, originality, and ubiquity of sculptural production during the reign of Queen Victoria. This lavishly illustrated book examines how colorful marbles, bronzes, finely wrought silver, and exquisitely detailed electrotypes, as well as gems, cameos, and porcelain, related to and contributed to the contemporary world. In an age of unprecedented territorial expansion, sculpture reflected the power of the British empire; at the same time, increased access to materials and resources facilitated artistic production and innovation. The partnership between art and industry was equally generative and creative, enabling daring explorations of sculpture's possibilities, both political and aesthetic. Bringing to bear a range of materials including statuary, reliefs, models, drawings, and objets d'art, as well as prints, photographs, and paintings, this stunning tome assembles, for the first time, the vibrancy, inventiveness, and modernity of Victorian sculpture.

Britain in the World - Highlights from the Yale Center for British Art (Paperback): Martina Droth, Nathan Flis, Michael Hatt Britain in the World - Highlights from the Yale Center for British Art (Paperback)
Martina Droth, Nathan Flis, Michael Hatt
R739 Discovery Miles 7 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Britain in the World presents highlights from the collection of the Yale Center for British Art. Included alongside iconic works-such as George Stubbs's Zebra, Sir Joshua Reynolds's Miss Prue, and J. M. W. Turner's Dort-are diverse and fascinating objects that range from the Tudor period to the present day. Featuring work by John Constable, William Henry Fox Talbot, Barbara Hepworth, Chris Ofili, and Yinka Shonibare, this beautifully illustrated book offers a valuable glimpse into the Center's vast and varied holdings. It also reveals British art as a global phenomenon, shaped and characterized by cultural exchange, exploration, scientific discovery, and, crucially, by the long history of colonialism and empire. This book illustrates the myriad ways in which visible and invisible global connections are present in the visual and material culture of Britain.

The Edwardian Sense - Art, Design, and Performance in Britain, 1901-1910 (Hardcover): Morna O'Neill, Michael Hatt The Edwardian Sense - Art, Design, and Performance in Britain, 1901-1910 (Hardcover)
Morna O'Neill, Michael Hatt
R1,398 Discovery Miles 13 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although numerous studies have explored the Edwardian period (1901-1910) as one of political and social change, this innovative book is the first to explore how art, design, and performance not only registered those changes but helped to precipitate them. While acknowledging familiar divisions between the highbrow world of aesthetic theory and the popular delights of the music hall, or between the neo-Baroque magnificence of central London and the slums of the East End, The Edwardian Sense also discusses the middlebrow culture that characterizes the anonymous edge of the city. Essays are divided into three sections under the broad headings of spectacle, setting, and place, which reflect the book's focus on the visual, spatial, and geographic perspectives of the Edwardians themselves.

Fictions of Art History (Paperback): Mark Ledbury Fictions of Art History (Paperback)
Mark Ledbury; Introduction by Michael Hatt; Contributions by Paul Barolsky, Thomas Crow, Gloria Kury, …
R570 Discovery Miles 5 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Fictions of Art History, the most recent addition to the Clark Studies in the Visual Arts series, addresses art history's complex relationships with fiction, poetry, and creative writing. Inspired by a 2010 conference, the volume examines art historians' viewing practices and modes of writing. How, the contributors ask, are we to unravel the supposed facts of history from the fictions constructed in works of art? How do art historians employ or resist devices of fiction, and what are the effects of those choices on the reader? In styles by turns witty, elliptical, and plain-speaking, the essays in Fictions of Art History are fascinating and provocative critical interventions in art history. Distributed for the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
