Michelangelo in the New Millennium
Michelangelo in the New Millennium presents six paired studies in dialogue with each other that offer new ways of looking at Michelangelo’s art as a series of social, creative, and emotional exchanges where artistic intention remains flexible; probe deeper into the artist’s formal borrowing and how it affects meaning regarding his early religious works; and consider the making and significance of his late papal painting projects commissioned by Paul III and Paul IV for chapels at the Vatican Palace. Contributors are: William E. Wallace, Joost Keizer, Eric R. Hupe, Emily Fenichel, Jonathan Kline, Erin Sutherland Minter, Margaret Kuntz, Tamara Smithers and Marcia B. Hall
Michelangelo and the Viewer in His Time
Today most of us enjoy the work of famed Renaissance artist Michelangelo by perusing art books or strolling along the galleries of a museum—and the luckier of us have had a chance to see his extraordinary frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. But as Bernadine Barnes shows in this book, even a visit to a well-preserved historical sight doesn’t quite afford the experience the artist intended us to have. Bringing together the latest historical research, she offers us an accurate account of how Michelangelo’s art would have been seen in its own time. As Barnes shows, Michelangelo’s works were made to be viewed in churches, homes, and political settings, by people who brought the...
Commonsense Justice
In this timely book, Norman Finkel looks at the relationship between the “law on the books,” as set down in the Constitution and developed in cases and decisions, and what he calls “commonsense justice”: the ordinary citizen’s notions of what is just and fair.
The Psychology of Tort Law
"This book explores tort law through the lens of psychological science. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research and their own experiences teaching and researching tort law, the authors examine the psychological assumptions that underlie doctrinal rules. They explore how tort law influences the behavior and decision making of potential plaintiffs and defendants, examining how doctors and patients, drivers, manufacturers and purchasers of products, property owners, and others make decisions against the backdrop of tort law. They show how the judges and jurors who decide tort claims are influenced by psychological phenomena in deciding cases. And they reveal how plaintiffs, defendants, and their attorneys resolve tort disputes in the shadow of tort law."--Page 4 of cover.
Scientia & vaghezza im ästhetischen Diskurs der Lombardei des Cinquecento
Anhand facettenreicher Fallstudien führt die Autorin den frühneuzeitlichen ästhetischen Diskurs der Lombardei vor. Sie analysiert das Verhältnis von Theorie und Praxis und erörtert historische Medienreflexionen sowie Wissensfragen. Aus kunsthistorischer, literaturwissenschaftlicher und wissensgeschichtlicher Perspektive analysiert Mira Becker-Sawatzky bildkünstlerische Praxis und textverfasste Theorie in ihrem teils dialogischen, teils diskrepanten Verhältnis zueinander. Dazu werden in thematischen Clustern Malerei, Zeichnung, Bildhauerei, Dichtung und Traktatistik mit ihrer je spezifischen Medialität und Materialität zueinander ins Verhältnis gesetzt. Betrachtet werden Um-Ordnungen der Wissenshierarchie, die Pluralität des Paragone, die Virulenz grotesker Ästhetik, die Konzeption künstlerischer Stile, die Bedeutungsdimensionen von vaghezza und die Wurzeln der Mailänder Ambrosiana.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Cleveland’s Free Stamp
In 1985, the Sohio oil company commissioned Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen to design and construct a large outdoor sculpture for its new corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The result was Free Stamp, a bold and distinctive installation that captured both a Pop Art sensibility and a connection to the city’s industrial past. Sohio executives approved the design, and work was already underway, when British Petroleum acquired the company. The new owners quickly decided that the sculpture was “inappropriate” for their building and attempted to rid themselves of Free Stamp by donating it to the city of Cleveland—a gift that the city initially had no desire to accept. After m...
The Stranger in the Woods
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality—not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. “A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingen...
Travelling Objects
Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes "Travelling Objects" widmen sich dem Austausch von Kunstwerken zwischen Italien und dem Habsburgerreich während des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts. Diese Gegenstände vermittelten als Botschafter des Transfers zwischen Nord und Süd und bildeten folglich eine bedeutende materielle Grundlage der kulturellen Beziehungen. Sie dienten als diplomatische Geschenke (Papsthof-Kaiserhof), als Bestechungsmittel (Odescalchi-Kaunitz) oder der symbolischen Kommunikation im Rahmen dynastischer Beziehungen (Mantua-Wien, Florenz-Innsbruck). Als Agenten des Transfers fungierten Händler (etwa im Herzogtum Krain), Adelige (Obizzi, Savoyen) sowie Botschafter und Gesandte (Savelli, Lamberg, Gallas, Albani, Apponyi).
Frauen und Päpste
Wie definierte sich im päpstlichen Rom der Spielraum, in dem Frauen wie Artemisia Gentileschi oder Giovanna Garzoni künstlerisch agieren konnten? Andere Frauen, wie Christina von Schweden, sammelten Kunst oder hinterließen Spuren in Ausstattungs- und Bauprojekten. Der Band untersucht Phänomene und Repräsentationen von Weiblichkeit zwischen 1580 und 1700 und stellt zur Diskussion, wie Weiblichkeit in unterschiedlichen Kontexten modelliert wurde.
