T25 MICHELANGELO 米开朗基罗

作者：  Gilles

出版社：Taschen 2010年03月

简介：Michelangelo between earthly passions and fear of GodDuring the Renaissance, several great homosexual artists—from Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli to Michelangelo and Raphael—transformed the history of art, striving for ever closer imitation of nature while shaping it to their tastes. In their art ambiguous beings were born, half man, half woman; female breasts were planted on male busts and a young man's gaze peeped out beneath the eyelids of a Madonna. From his earliest youth Michelangelo transformed personal torment into exquisite creativity—attempting to reconcile the apparently conflicting forces that inhabited him: his earthly passions and his fear of God. Hence the peerless monuments to beauty, celestial and infernal alike, that Michelangelo raised to the glory of God. His predecessors aspired to Heaven through faith alone; Michelangelo sought absolution through the contemplative exaltation of beauty—even on the ceiling of a papal chapel: the Sistine. This exposed him to a chorus of derision from prudish critics, who accused him of exhibiting paganism in a place of religion, and who clothed his immodest Titans in painted "breeches". It was Michelangelo's curse to remain a colossus outside and apart from his time. It is the birthright of the comet to inspire fear and awe in the spectator; but the spectacle of such glory can sear the tender eye.

简介：A fashionable and well-informed interest in Italy was a feature of English intellectual life in the first half of the 19th century. Most cultured people could read Italian and knew something of Italian literature. Young ladies learned to sing in Italian, whilst young gentlemen completed their education with a tour in Italy. Painters went there to make copies from Raphael; architects to sketch the Graeco-Roman ruins. Men of letters in particular found themselves drawn to Italy and much Romantic literature reflects this interest; many works owe their origin to Italian literature. In this book, which was originally published in 1957, Dr Brand traces the growth and decline of the social fashion which made Italy the goal of so many cultured Englishmen. He examines in particular the extent and significance of Italy's fascination for the English romantic writers, and traces the effects of the fashion in music, painting, architecture and political affairs.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Raphael (family law, DePaul U.) draws largely on the words of a 45-year old prostitution survivor to lay out the course of the trade, from being groomed and reeled in to stripping, shooting up, working the street, and being trapped to escaping. She also discusses what is to be done. Annotation 漏2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 For nineteen years, Olivia lived the shadowy life of stripper, streetwalker, and heroin addict on the fringes of society. Leaving a troubled home at age sixteen to land a seemingly glamorous job at a Chicago stripclub, she became trapped in a web of prostitution and drug addiction that eventually forced her onto the streets and into a world of hardship at the hands of abusive men. But Olivia, a resourceful, vibrant woman of color, ultimately escaped the prostitution lifestyle and is now director of addiction services at a community counseling program, working to support drug-dependent women. Listening to Olivia is the compelling account of her descent into poverty and abuse together with her hard fought recovery. By assimilating new research on the women and girls in prostitution--in addition to their male customers--Jody Raphael discovers that experiences like Olivia's are alarmingly common and argues that the sex trade as an institution promotes violence against women. Smashing both the common stereotype of the depraved streetwalker and abstract feminist arguments legitimizing prostitution as the sexual liberation of women, the author uncovers an emerging multimillion-dollar global trafficking industry that detains women in a violent cycle of exploitation and dependence. Olivia's own insights on her turbulent childhood, stripping in clubs, soliciting on the street, drug addiction, brutal pimps, her three pregnancies, and her extraordinary transformation highlight important new questions: who are the men who buy sex from such poor, strung out women; and why are so many of these men so violent? Olivia's story gives a human face to the overwhelmingly low-income, non-white, and unempowered young women in prostitution today. Combined with a wealth of new findings, this gripping and accessible study challenges the academy, the legal system, and society as a whole to wake up and listen to the women like Olivia.   Publisher Summary 3 The harrowing story of a woman's descent into prostitution and addiction, the remarkable tale of her recovery, and an expose of the global trafficking industry.

简介：Art of the Renaissance follows the development of the various Renaissance styles through Italy, across the Alps to France, Germany, the Netherlands, and further to Spain, England, Central Europe, and even to Russia. The author addresses the vast complexities of these national movements clearly, concisely, and insightfully. At the same time, his appreciative understanding of the contemporary - but in his view not truly "Renaissance" - art of northern Europe adds to the reader鈥檚 comprehension of this enormously prolific period. The author combines this same understanding and appreciation of the achievement of individual artists in his exploration of lesser-known painters, sculptors, and architects. Those familiar with the great figures of the age - Brunelleschi, Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael - will find this book a fascinating introduction to dozens of their talented contemporaries, who made their own remarkable contributions to the Renaissance movement. The text also includes a number of significant examples of the decorative and so-called minor arts, which the author discusses in great depth. The text, encyclopedic in format, is enriched with 895 illustrations, 164 in splendid full-page color-plates. A separate catalogue of architecture provides the history of each building, as well as plans and multiple views. There is also an appendix of short biographies of important personalities who influenced the course of Renaissance art.

简介： Since the eighteenth century, artists--especially so-called avant-garde artists--have played a conflicting role in society. Part of the reason for their complex position, argue Raphael Sassower and Louis Cicotello, is the survival of the culture of idolatry in the modern age. In the twentieth century, artists can criticize the worship of material things or they can produce the things themselves. They can paint the scenes of worship of the golden calf--as the German expressionist Emil Nolde did in "Dance Around the Golden Calf" (1910), in which garish exaggerations reflect a condemnation of materialistic culture--or they can be the ones fabricating the idol for a fee. Part radical critics, part celebrity servants of bourgeois tastes, avant-garde artists such as Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Andy Warhol, the Christos, and Keith Haring have captured the twentieth-century imagination and inspired the artistic community to reconsider its social, political, and cultural roles. Charting the uneasy middle ground occupied by these artists and their work, Sassower and Cicotello argue that their success has as much to do with their complicity with capitalist forces as it does with their defiance of them. Indeed, the major theme of The Golden Avant-Garde is the inability of any cultural subgroup to withstand the overwhelming power of capitalism, commercialism, and science and technology. While some artists are paid by governments and institutions to construct national and religious monuments that express and honor society's most valuable principles and goals, the same society has fabricated a romantic myth of artists as revolutionary heroes who defy the authorities and pay dearly for their passion and vision. The Golden Avant-Garde is a unique collaboration between a philosopher and an artist, who bring their different perspectives to bear on how the avant-garde navigates the cultural, financial, and technological challenges presented by this postmodern dilemma. Often, Sassower and Cicotello conclude, avant-garde artists have become adept at manipulating the same forces that they seek to exaggerate and articulate in their work.

简介：David and Miriam Raphael found their life transformed the minute their wandering father returned to their poor European village. The year was 1835. He had come to take his children away -- to a fairy-tale existence in New Orleans, to a great house, a business dynasty, and a magnificent city. But he was also ripping them away from their heritage. Now, as David faces becoming a man amid courtly Creole manners and slave estates, he is forced to make a devastating choice, risking a future as an outcast...and his father's enemy. And as Miriam grows into exquisite young womanhood, she too will be caught in a struggle of divided loyalties...and in a great tide rising in American history: a fight between North and South that would test her faith-and her growing passion for a forbidden love....

简介： In 1951, designer Greta Magnusson Grossman observed that California design was "not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions.... It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way." California design influenced the material culture of the entire country, in everything from architecture to fashion. This generously illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive examination of California's mid-century modern design. It begins by tracing the origins of a distinctively California modernism in the 1930s by such European émigrés as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Kem Weber; it finds other specific design influences and innovations in solid-color commercial ceramics, inspirations from Mexico and Asia, new schools for design training, new concepts about leisure, and the conversion of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames's plywood and fiberglass furniture). The heart of California Design is the modern California home, famously characterized by open plans conducive to outdoor living. The layouts of modernist homes by Pierre Koenig, Craig Ellwood, and Raphael Soriano, for example, were intended to blur the distinction between indoors and out. Homes were furnished with products from Heath Ceramics, Van Keppel-Green, and Architectural Pottery as well as other, previously unheralded companies and designers. Many objects were designed to be multifunctional: pool and patio furniture that was equally suitable indoors, lighting that was both task and ambient, bookshelves that served as room dividers, and bathing suits that would turn into ensembles appropriate for indoor entertainment. California Design includes 350 images, most in color, of furniture, ceramics, metalwork, architecture, graphic and industrial design, film, textiles, and fashion, and ten incisive essays that trace the rise of the California design aesthetic.

简介： Definitive in its scholarship and thrilling in its scope, this lavishly illustrated volume offers the first book-length study of Luca Signorelli (1445–1523), sometimes described as the "least-known major artist" of the Renaissance. Twenty years of painstaking archival research have produced this portrait of Signorelli in public and private life—an adventurous painter who believed art was divinely inspired, and an affectionate family man who participated energetically in public life. In his paintings—of which the Last Judgementin Orvieto cathedral is his undisputed masterpiece—Signorelli integrated his observations of daily life with a fresh and sensitive approach to representing religious subjects. A student of Piero della Franscesca, Signorelli's work and influence carried over into the early 16th century, though he was ultimately eclipsed by his friends Raphael and Michelangelo. Signorelli's work is represented in museums around the world, and this book now offers new audiences and scholars a complete picture of one of the Renaissance's most significant and intriguing artists.

Reevaluating the paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, Pontormo, Bronzino and their followers in the light of recent research, Marcia Hall offers a new interpretation for the stylistic shifts that occurred after 1520. By taking into account the social, cultural, political, theological, and patronage issues that affected taste and stylistic developments, she demonstrates how the revival of interest in antique Roman sculpture relief affected Mannerist painters. She also examines the repercussions of the Reformation, which changed forever the Church's view of the function of images.

简介：First published in 1516, Saint Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most important works of European humanism. Through the voice of the mysterious traveler Raphael Hythloday, More describes a pagan, communist city-state governed by reason. Addressing such issues as religious pluralism, women's rights, state-sponsored education, colonialism, and justified warfare, Utopia seems remarkably contemporary nearly five centuries after it was written, and it remains a foundational text in philosophy and political theory. Preeminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller does justice to the full range of More's rhetoric in this new translation. Professor Miller includes a helpful introduction that outlines some of the important problems and issues that Utopia raises, and also provides informative commentary to assist the reader throughout this challenging and rewarding exploration of the meaning of political community.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 William Bateson (1861-1926) began his academic career working on variation in animals in the light of evolutionary theory. He was inspired by the rediscovery in 1900 of the 1860s work on plant hybridisation by the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel to pursue further experimental work in what he named `genetics'. He realised that Mendel's results could help to solve difficult biological questions and controversies which others had glossed over, and to challenge the status quo in evolutionary studies. Annoyed by the `apathetic' stance of his evolutionist colleagues, and incensed by the Oxford professor Raphael Weldon's scathing critique of Mendel in a journal article, Bateson incorporated an English translation of Mendel's work into this 1902 book along with a thorough defence of Mendel's statistical experiments and the principles of heredity derived from them. His book is an impassioned appeal for scientists to adopt this `brilliant method' which he felt could revolutionise both scholarship and industry. This volume also contains, in an appendix, the original German texts of Mendel's Versuche iiber Pflanzenhybriden, as published in Leipzig in 1901.   Publisher Summary 2 Gregor Mendel's work on heredity in plants, a translation, and a passionate defence of it by 'the first geneticist'.   Publisher Summary 3 William Bateson (1861-1926) began his academic career working on variation in animals in the light of evolutionary theory.
