Goya’s Graphic Imagination
This book presents the first focused investigation of Francisco Goya's (1746–1828) graphic output. Spanning six decades, Goya’s works on paper reflect the transformation and turmoil of the Enlightenment, the Inquisition, and Spain's years of constitutional government. Two essays, a detailed chronology, and more than 100 featured artworks illuminate the remarkable breadth and power of Goya's drawings and prints, situating the artist within his historical moment. The selected pieces document the various phases and qualities of Goya's graphic work—from his early etchings after Velázquez through print series such as the Caprichos and The Disasters of War to his late lithographs, The Bulls of Bordeaux, and including albums of drawings that reveal the artist’s nightmares, dreams, and visions.

War and Aesthetics
A provocative edited collection that takes an original approach toward the black box of military technology, surveillance, and AI—and reveals the aesthetic dimension of warfare. War and Aesthetics gathers leading artists, political scientists, and scholars to outline the aesthetic dimension of warfare and offer a novel perspective on its contemporary character and the construction of its potential futures. Edited by a team of four scholars, Jens Bjering, Anders Engberg-Pedersen, Solveig Gade, and Christine Strandmose Toft, this timely volume examines warfare through the lens of aesthetics, arguing that the aesthetic configurations of perception, technology, and time are central to the arti...
Aquatint
How an ingenious printmaking technique became a cross-cultural phenomenon in Enlightenment Europe Driven by a growing interest in collecting and multiplying drawings, artists and amateurs in the eighteenth century sought a new technique capable of replicating the subtlety of ink, wash, and watercolor. They devised an innovative and versatile new medium—aquatint—which would spread in use across Europe within a few decades, its distinctive dark tones making possible a remarkable variety of ingenious imagery. In this illuminating book, Rena M. Hoisington traces how the aquatint technique flourished as a cross-cultural and cosmopolitan phenomenon that contributed to the rise of art publishin...
Imagen, lenguaje e ideología
Esta obra es una selección de estudios sobre las complejas relaciones entre la imagen y el lenguaje, y sobre las dependencias ideológicas nacidas de su relación. El planteamiento de cada uno de los trabajos que se recogen aquí aborda transversalmente trasfondos metodológicos de máxima actualidad derivados de las crisis de las disciplinas que se venían encargando de analizar las prácticas artísticas, las instituciones culturales, los imaginarios globalizados y las formas de comunicación masiva inscritas en nuestras narrativas actuales. En todos estos casos, se impone una aproximación intermedial para analizar con nuevas herramientas y perspectiva suficiente fenómenos dispares pero unidos por esta dimensión migrante entre diversos soportes, medios y contextos institucionales. En este volumen podrá encontrarse una propuesta de análisis liberada de determinismos históricos, centrada en la capacidad de los casos de estudio, con independencia de su ubicación o su distancia histórica, para revelar las pervivencias actuales de estos mecanismos de interacción imagolingüísticos.

Ferdinand Columbus
Ferdinand Columbus, son of Christopher Columbus and author of the first published account of a voyage to the New World, was also the owner of one of the largest private libraries assembled during the Renaissance and the most important early collection of prints. Although the collection has vanished, about half of it has been reconstructed by Mark McDonald from information found in a detailed inventory that survives in Seville. This beautifully produced book catalogues 110 of the most significant prints in Columbus's collection. The introductory chapters discuss Columbus's life and work and show how the reconstruction of his collection has radically transformed our understanding of the print industry in Renaissance Europe. Original publisher's price: $49.95.
