Williamson, Beth - Christian Art

editura Oxford University Press, SUA, 2004

"Another in an excellent and sensible series of paperbacks explaining clearly and with verve subjects that may be off the map for many of us but can be put right with a small book that doesn't make the subject simple--just interesting and understandable....Williamson clearly leads us through the medieval and renaissance periods to our modern art period." Hamilton Spectator



Grant Pooke, Diana Newall - Art History: The Basics

editura Routledge, 2007

Descarcă

"(...)Contemporary approaches to art history recognise its plurality – ‘art histories’ – rather than a singular and central art historical tradition. For example, as its title suggests, Ernst Gombrich’s The Story of Art, first published in 1950, asserted particular assumptions and exclusions about the meaning of art and the role of art history, many of which are no longer tenable. Jonathan Harris has described Gombrich’s concern with ‘The canon of great art, and its confirmation in, and by, art history’ as integral to broader humanist values and liberal ideals (2001: 37). Gombrich perceived these connections to be self-evident and unproblematic.(...)"


Earls, Irene - Artists of Renaissance

editura Greenwood Press, 2004

Descarcă

"The Renaissance stands as, arguably, the most significant period in the history of art. Author Irene Earls provides biographical chapters for each of the ten most famous artists from the European Renaissance: Alberti, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Fra Filippo Lippi, Giotto, Leonardo, Mantegna, Masacio, Michelangelo and Raphael. Each chapter traces the childhood and artistic development of the artist, recounts in vivid detail his most noteworthy creations, places his work within artistic, cultural, and philosophical (often religious) contexts, and examines the ways in which the artist influenced subsequent generations of artists. A timeline, chapter bibliographies, a glossary of terms, and a subject index provide additional tools for readers researching artists from this unparalleled period of artistic creation and rebirth." - Amazon.com
