Body Double
Body Double explores the myriad ways that film artists have represented the creative process. In this highly innovative work, Lucy Fischer draws on a neglected element of auteur studies to show that filmmakers frequently raise questions about the paradoxes of authorship by portraying the onscreen writer. Dealing with such varied topics as the icon of the typewriter, the case of the writer/director, the authoress, and the omnipresent infirm author, she probes the ways in which films can tell a plausible story while contemplating the conditions and theories of their making. By examining many forms of cinema, from Hollywood and the international art cinema to the avant-garde, Fischer considers ...
Two Golden Ages
Like the seventeenth century in Holland, the Danish Golden Age in the first half of the nineteenth century was an important period in which painting grew and flourished. Despite the gap of almost 200 years the Dutch masters were a source of inspiration fo
Johan Ludvig Heiberg
The polymath Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1791-1860) represented in many ways a kind of crossroads in the Danish Golden Age, where many different figures and cultural institutions converged. Although he has been studied for years in his native Denmark, he has not enjoyed the same reception abroad. Recently, however, his work has begun to catch the eye of international scholars, and, largely as a result of their efforts, Heiberg has now become a familiar name among the most recent generation of Anglophone and international researchers working in fields such as Scandinavian literature, Danish theater history and Kierkegaard studies. However, Heiberg was one of the most versatile figures of his age, a...
Painting, Science, and the Perception of Coloured Shadows
Many artists and scientists – including Buffon, Goethe, and Philipp Otto Runge – who observed the vividly coloured shadows that appear outdoors around dawn and dusk, or indoors when a candle burns under waning daylight, chose to describe their colours as ‘beautiful’. Paul Smith explains what makes these ephemeral effects worthy of such appreciation – or how depictions of coloured shadows have genuine aesthetic and epistemological significance. This multidisciplinary book synthesises methodologies drawn from art history (close pictorial analysis), psychology and neuroscience (theories of colour constancy), history of science (the changing paradigms used to explain coloured shadows), and philosophy (theories of perception and aesthetic value drawn from Wittgenstein and Merleau-Ponty). This title will be of interest to scholars in art history, art theory, and the history of science and technology.
KRISTUS
Vor Frue Kirke i København fremstår som et samlet værk tegnet af arkitekten C.F. Hansen og med udsmykning af billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen. Bygningens stramme, antik-inspirerede former taler samme sprog som de monumentale, hvide marmorstatuer og -relieffer, og Kristus-statuen i apsis over alteret har i snart 200 år har haft hovedrollen – både i kirkerummet og i kirkens liturgi. I KRISTUS. Thorvaldsens statue i Vor Frue Kirke bliver der sat fokus på begge dimensioner, det æstetiske og det liturgiske. Ud fra en tværfaglig tilgang analyserer og fortolker kunsthistorikeren Margrethe Floryan Kristus-statuen, dens fremtræden og betydning i samspillet med de øvrige knap 30 Thorvalds...
Rembrandt
Rembrandts "Betende alte Frau" ist hinsichtlich der Maltechnik eine Besonderheit. Auf einer vergoldeten Kupferplatte gemalt, zeigt das Bild herausragende technische Versiertheit des Künstlers. Die Ausstellung präsentiert die Ergebnisse der technischen Untersuchungen, die im Juni 2016 gemacht wurden. Dem Publikum wird ein tiefer Blick hinter die Farbschichten des Gemäldes gewährt. Zeitgleiche Grafiken Rembrandts aus den Beständen der Albertina Wien und des Kupferstichkabinetts der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien ergänzen die Schau.
