International Futurism in Arts and Literature
This publication offers for the first time an inter-disciplinary and comparative perspective on Futurism in a variety of countries and artistic media. 20 scholars discuss how the movement shaped the concept of a cultural avant-garde and how it influenced the development of modernist art and literature around the world.
Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco
Da Bernini a de Chirico, dalla festa barocca a Balla passando per Domenichino e la Scuola Romana. Il nome di Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco richiama subito i suoi pionieristici studi, sull'arte del Seicento come sul Novecento italiano e internazionale. Eppure egli è stato anche un formidabile critico militante, tra anni Sessanta e Settanta al centro delle ricerche più vitali non soltanto romane. Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli, Mario Ceroli, Pino Pascali, Giulio Paolini, Giovanni Anselmo sono alcuni coetanei dei quali si è fatto interprete consegnandoci pagine ancora oggi illuminanti per capirne il lavoro.0Questo volume raccoglie per la prima volta un'antologia dei suoi contributi in ambito cri...
Studi sul barocco romano
Questa raccolta di scritti di storia dell'arte, promossa dalla Direzione Generale per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Demoetnoantropologico del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, vuole essere un omaggio a un grande e appassionato storico dell'arte, Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco. In considerazione dei suoi specifici interessi sull'arte barocca, cui Maurizio ha dedicato gran parte della sua attività di studioso, numerosi colleghi e amici, italiani e stranieri, hanno voluto ricordarlo con contributi sul barocco romano. Così i saggi spaziano da Caravaggio, con interventi di Marini e Curzietti, alla scuola bolognese, con testi di Montanari, Carloni, Guarino, Loire, Schleier, all'amat...
Bernini
"The brilliantly expressive clay models created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) as "sketches" for his works in marble offer extraordinary insights into his creative imagination. Although long admired, the terracotta models have never been the subject of such detailed examination. This publication presents a wealth of new discoveries (including evidence of the artist's fingerprints imprinted on the clay), resolving lingering issues of attribution while giving readers a vivid sense of how the artist and his assistants fulfilled a steady stream of monumental commissions. Essays describe Bernini's education as a modeler; his approach to preparatory drawings; his use of assistants; and the response to his models by 17th-century collectors. Extensive research by conservators and art historians explores the different types of models created in Bernini's workshop. Richly illustrated, Bernini transforms our understanding of the sculptor and his distinctive and fascinating working methods."--Publisher's website.

The Art of Religion
Bernini and Pallavicino, the artist and the Jesuit cardinal, are closely related figures at the papal courts of Urban VIII and Alexander VII, at which Bernini was the principal artist. The analysis of Pallavicino's writings offers a new perspective on Bernini's art and artistry and allow us to understand the visual arts in papal Rome as a 'making manifest' of the fundamental truths of faith. Pallavicino's views on art and its effects differ fundamentally from the perspective developed in Bernini's biographies offering a perspective on the tension between artist and patron, work and message. In Pallavicino's writings the visual arts emerge as being intrinsically bound up with the very core of religion involving questions of idolatry, mimesis and illusionism that would prove central to the aesthetic debates of the eighteenth century.
Bernini's Biographies
Unique among early modern artists, the Baroque painter, sculptor, and architect Gianlorenzo Bernini was the subject of two monographic biographies published shortly after his death in 1680: one by the Florentine connoisseur and writer Filippo Baldinucci (1682), and the second by Bernini's son, Domenico (1713). This interdisciplinary collection of essays by historians of art and literature marks the first sustained examination of the two biographies, first and foremost as texts. A substantial introductory essay considers each biography's author, genesis, and foundational role in the study of Bernini. Nine essays combining art-historical research with insights from philology, literary history,...
Parmigianino
The definitive book on one of the most original and inventive artists of the Renaissance period
Gods of Play
This book studies the close connections between politics, culture, art, and philosophy in seventeenth-century Europe. As an emblem of this interrelationship, the author has chosen the phenomenon of the "splendid festive performance" of spectacular plays and operas given at absolutist courts in Rome, Madrid, Paris, Versailles, and Vienna between 1631 and 1668. Gods of Play fills voids in the scholarly literature on the seventeenth-century, on absolutism, on courtly theatricality, and on the philosophy of play. Aercke demonstrates that such splendid performances were not just frivolous entertainment for the courtly class but were serious activities with far-ranging political consequences.
Modern Antiquity
This illustrated book focuses on the aesthetic impact ancient art had on twentieth-century artists Picasso, de Chirico, Léger, and Picabia between 1906 and 1936.
