Disaster in the Early Modern World
How did early modern societies think about disasters, such as earthquakes or floods? How did they represent disaster, and how did they intervene to mitigate its destructive effects? This collection showcases the breadth of new work on the period ca. 1300-1750. Covering topics that range from new thinking about risk and securitisation to the protection of dikes from shipworm, and with a geography that extends from Europe to Spanish America, the volume places early modern disaster studies squarely at the intersection of intellectual, cultural and socio-economic history. This period witnessed fresh speculation on nature, the diffusion of disaster narratives and imagery and unprecedented attempts to control the physical world. The book will be essential to specialists and students of environmental history and disaster, as well as general readers who seek to discover how pre-industrial societies addressed some of the same foundational issues we grapple with today.
Conserving Canvas
The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witn...
Rubens in Repeat
This book examines the reception in Latin America of prints designed by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, showing how colonial artists used such designs to create all manner of artworks and, in the process, forged new frameworks for artistic creativity. Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) never crossed the Atlantic himself, but his impact in colonial Latin America was profound. Prints made after the Flemish artist’s designs were routinely sent from Europe to the Spanish Americas, where artists used them to make all manner of objects. Rubens in Repeat is the first comprehensive study of this transatlantic phenomenon, despite broad recognition that it was one of the most important forces to ...
Polychrome Art in the Early Modern World
This book focuses on the techniques and materials of polychromy used in early modern Europe and the Americas from 1200 to 1800. Taking a trans-cultural approach, the book studies the production of polychrome sculptures, panels, and altarpieces, as well as colored terracotta. The book includes chapters on treatises and contracts that reveal specific use of pigments, distribution of workshops, collaborations between specialized artists, and artistic programs centered on the use of color as an agent. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art conservation, early modern history, sculpture, colonialism, material culture, and European studies.
Los niños de San Bernardo
El patrimonio escultórico de tipo religioso en México es vasto en su diseño, historia, usos y las costumbres que de ellos emanan. Este libro muestra esos preceptos en la labor ocurrida en el convento concepcionista del Dulce Nombre de María y San Bernardo: se examinan, desde el punto de vista histórico, estético, antropológico y de análisis de materiales, cinco esculturas que representan a Jesús infante y cuya restauración se llevó a cabo con la finalidad de que continuaran en uso devocional.
Agentas culturales del siglo XX. Desafíos de una gestión
A través de 20 ensayos de especialistas en el estudio de la producción, recepción y divulgación del arte, se devuelve la mirada a una pléyade de mujeres imprescindibles al frente, a los lados y detrás del arte que ejercieron políticas y prácticas ajenas a las posturas dominantes y cuya labor no siempre aparece en los catálogos o en los libros. Desde Inés Amor, María Asúnsolo, Lola Álvarez Bravo, las hermanas Pecanins, Lydia Sada de González, Márgara Garza Sada, Geles Cabrera Alvarado, Ángeles Espinosa Yglesias, Dolores Olmedo, Carmen Marín, Helen Escobedo, Sylvia Pandolfi, Margarita Nelken, Elisa Vargaslugo, Beatriz de la Fuente, Raquel Tibol, Ida Rodríguez Prampolini, Teresa del Conde y Juana Gutiérrez Haces hasta Graciela De la Torre, coordinadora de este proyecto, algunas de las "agentas" culturales imprescindibles en México se ponen de relieve en estas páginas dando cuenta del complejo proceso detrás de la existencia del objeto artístico.
Finding Caspicara
"Caspicara was the most renowned sculptor of the eighteenth-century Andean world. Yet many works that are attributed to this Indigenous artist cannot be firmly documented as he is nearly absent in traditional archival records. Susan Webster seeks to analyze not only the visual imagery and material culture of his many works, but she also seeks to lay the foundation for understanding how scholars can revive the life and records of artists and other historical figures--many of whom were Indigenous in this period--with different methodologies. By cultivating artistic theory, popular religious devotion, and specific styles of sculpture, Webster's examination of the labor and workshop practices of...
Escultura Barroca española. Nuevas lecturas desde los Siglos de Oro a la sociedad del conocimiento
Como los grandes pintores, nosotros también queríamos hacer un gran libro, que por motivos de espacio y edición se ha convertido en tres, y sumando los granitos de arena de los treinta autores que lo componen, hemos creado un gran castillo de treinta y siete plantas/capítulos, con tres sedes, que nos cuentan una bonita historia barroca que se extiende desde finales del siglo XVI hasta ayer, cuando cualquier imagen, ya sea naturalista, barroca, clásico-barroca, preciosista, de Olot, de repoblación, popular, neo-barroca, neo-barroca gay, realista, hiperrealista, hipernaturalista, post Miñarro, post Zafra, post Buiza, post Duarte, post Suso de Marcos o 3D, fue compartida en una red social —alguno a lo mejor hasta se hizo un selfie con ella—, las queremos a todas. Esta gran obra que tiene por título "Escultura Barroca Española. Nuevas lecturas desde los Siglos de Oro a la Sociedad del Conocimiento", se compone de los siguientes tres volúmenes: – "Escultura Barroca Española. Entre el Barroco y el siglo XXI" – "Escultura Barroca Española. Escultura Barroca Andaluza" – "Escultura Barroca Española. Las historias de la Escultura Barroca Española"
