An Analysis of John Berger's Ways of Seeing
Ways of Seeing is a key art-historical work that continues to provoke widespread debate. It is comprised of seven different essays, three of which are pictorial and the other containing texts and images. Berger first examines the relationship between seeing and knowing, discussing how our assumptions affect how we see a painting. He moves on to consider the role of women in artwork, particularly regarding the female nude. The third essay deals with oil painting looking at the relationship between subjects and ownership. Finally, Berger addresses the idea of ownership in a consumerist society, discussing the power of imagery in advertising, with particular regards to photography.
Drawing the Greek Vase
How have two-dimensional images of ancient Greek vases shaped modern perceptions of these artefacts and of the classical past? This is the first scholarly volume devoted to the exploration of drawings, prints, and photographs of Greek vases in modernity. Case studies of the seventeenth to the twentieth century foreground ways that artists have depicted Greek vases in a range of styles and contexts within and beyond academia. Questions addressed include: how do these images translate three-dimensional ancient utilitarian objects with iconography central to the tradition of Western painting and decorative arts into two-dimensional graphic images carrying aesthetic and epistemic value? How does the embodied practice of drawing enable people to engage with Greek vases differently from museum viewers, and what insights does it offer on ancient producers and users? And how did the invention of photography impact the tradition of drawing Greek vases? The volume addresses art historians of the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, archaeologists and classical reception scholars.
An Analysis of Erwin Panofsky's Meaning in the Visual Arts
Erwin Panofsky’s Meaning in the Visual Arts is considered a key work in art history. Its ideas have provoked widespread debate, and although it was first published more than sixty years ago, it continues to feature regularly on numerous university reading lists. Meaning in the Visual Arts comprises nine essays. In these, Panofsky argues for the independence of iconology as a branch of history. He moves on to demonstrate the anatomy of art and its study, as well as the controlling principles of interpretation. He then deals with the theories of human proportions, Gothic architecture, and the Northern Renaissance. Finally, Panofsky discusses his own American experiences.
"Rome, Travel and the Sculpture Capital, c.1770?825 "
The world that shaped Europe's first national sculptor-celebrities, from Schadow to David d'Angers, from Flaxman to Gibson, from Canova to Thorvaldsen, was the city of Rome. Until around 1800, the Holy See effectively served as Europe's cultural capital, and Roman sculptors found themselves at the intersection of the Italian marble trade, Grand Tour expenditure, the cult of the classical male nude, and the Enlightenment republic of letters. Two sets of visitors to Rome, the David circle and the British traveler, have tended to dominate Rome's image as an open artistic hub, while the lively community of sculptors of mixed origins has not been awarded similar attention. Rome, Travel and the Sc...

Kunst am Ursprung
Die spektakulären und höchst spekulativen Geschichtsentwürfe und Bildtheorien bedeutender Antiquare wie Pierre d'Hancarville und Richard Payne Knight stehen in diesem Buch erstmals im Fokus der Analyse. Hans Christian Hönes beleuchtet deren Theorien über den Ursprung der Kunst und das, so die These, daraus resultierende Narrativ eines bis in die eigene Gegenwart virulenten »Nachlebens« dieser Ursprünge. So offenbart sich ein Geschichtsentwurf, der überraschende Parallelen zu Theorien aufweist, wie sie um 1900 im Werk Aby Warburgs kulminieren. Die Studie zeigt: Das Anliegen der Protagonisten ist weniger die Suche nach historistischer Wahrheit - sondern vielmehr die Konstruktion einer souverän entworfenen, polemischen und romanhaften Kunstübung.
Antiquity in Print
Daniel Orrells examines the ways in which the ancient world was visualized for Enlightenment readers, and reveals how antiquarian scholarship emerged as the principal technology for envisioning ancient Greek culture, at a time when very few people could travel to Greece which was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Offering a fresh account of the rise of antiquarianism in the 18th century, Orrells shows how this period of cultural progression was important for the invention of classical studies. In particular, the main focus of this book is on the visionary experimentalism of antiquarian book production, especially in relation to the contentious nature of ancient texts. With the explosion of t...

Bricolage
This book is an effort to explore and to deliberate on new trends and perspectives in literature, culture and theory to create a discourse of learning. Most of the contributors are the fresh minds which are looking at various trends with a new perspective. Too much knowledge sometimes works as a barrier and does not allow us to look beyond the well established opinions and this was the reasons why these new scholars were asked to contribute. They add novelty to the established ideas.
