Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st. Pictorial boards, 91 pages, illustrations (some colour); 25 cm. Galerie des arts, vol. 6. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "Antonio (1431/1432-1498) and Piero (1441/1442-after 1485) del Pollaiuolo have always enjoyed a certain notoriety and, together with Verrocchio, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio, occupy a central place in all books about Florentine art at the time of Lorenzo the Magnificent. However, the image we now have of these two bold artists, the sons of a chicken vendor in the old market of Florence, is rather misty. It is generally thought that Piero, ten years younger than his brother, was merely an assistant to the multi-talented Antonio, who excelled in disciplines as various as painting, sculpture, silver and gold work, and architecture.This view is attributable to Vasari but fails to correspond to the respect in which both artists were held at the time and probably deserves to be reconsidered. The almost total disappearance of brooches, necklaces, cups, bowls, candlesticks, crosses, incense-burners, chalices, and reliquaries made of gold, silver, enamel, and precious stones created by Antonio has greatly harmed the reputation of this highly talented artist. These objects are all documented, but they were all at some stage melted down and their precious materials reused (a common fate for many pieces of gold and silver plate). The visionary and dramatic imagination of the man Florence proudly remembered at his death, calling him 'our citizen, a famous sculptor of unrivalled skill in his art,' is displayed especially by the two bronze tombs of Pope Sixtus IV and Pope Innocent VIII in St. Peter's and by a wonderful body of drawings. In these autograph sheets, Antonio's sure line, precise as a scalpel, gives birth to a race of fabulous heroes with superhuman build, chests expanded to the utmost, lithe and elastic arms and legs: gladiators, archers, musclemen, martyrs." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Antonio and Piero del Pollaiuolo; A blurred image; Vasari's lives; Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Goldsmith and master draughtsman; Paintings by Antonio; Nudes; Siver, wood, clay, silk; Piero del Pollaiuolo, Florentine painter; In the age of Lorenzo il Magnifico; In Rome.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. 1st. 297 pages, illustrations (some colour); 24 cm. Text in English and Italian.

Tight, clean copy. *** "They cross borders, spanning territories and cultures; wherever they go they gather information and borrow images, styles, and languages. For a variety of reasons, they have left their native soil. They are artists from around the world: from Europe to Southeast Asia, the Middle East to America. What unites them is an intercultural outlook that is not a deliberate choice, but a response to the stimuli and the influences of the different environments in which they have ended up living. Published in conjunction with the exhibition co-organized by the Spazio Oberdan in Milan and the San Francisco Art Institute, Wherever We Go brings together more than fifty works (videos, sculptures, installations, drawings, and photographs) by twenty-three artists from around the world. Challenging any unequivocal or simplistic definition, the works of these artists invite us to reflect on themes of displacement and migration, citizenship and representation. The works convey the complex and stratified character of today's society, and reflect a composite world, with fluid borders and broadened horizons, a world permeated by tensions and anything but at peace in its many components, but one that is culturally rich and fascinating." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Wherever they go, they create a new world: Notes on migration, cultural hybridity and contemporary art, by Hou Hanru; How many roads, by Gabi Scardi; The leopard, by Gilane Tawadros; Identities and territories, by Pier Luigi Tazzi; "Wherever we go": Being there and elsewhere, by Elvan Zabunyan. *** Includes: Adel Abdessemed - Carlos Amorales - Yael Bartana - Yong Ping Huang - Jeong-a Koo - Tsuyoshi Ozawa - Adrian Paci - Pascale Marthine Tayou - Nari Ward.

Translated from the French. Tight, clean copy. *** "This examination of a distinctive period of French painting discusses the interrelated artistic cities and regions that formed essential links in Renaissance-era artistic exchanges. The interaction between the French courts and Paris during the International Gothic period, the diffusion of ars nova in France during the days of Charles VII and Louis XI, and the standardization of a French style based on Jean Fouquet's model are among the artistic geographies considered in this analysis. Reproductions of key works that illustrate cultural confluences accompany an updated introduction to the scholarship of these relationships. / Frederic Elsig is a professor of medieval art history at the University of Geneva. He was codirector of the exhibition La Renaissance en Savoie." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: International Gothic and the French courts (1380-1435); The influence of Paris under the reign of Charles VI le Fou; The courts of Berry and Burgundy; The English occupation and "Mannerist" phase of International Gothic; The diffusion of the Ars Nova (1435-1483); Economic channels; Diplomatic channels; Selective assimilation in the royal domain; Between regional traditions and revival (1483-1515); The Lyon crossroads; The Paris crossroads; The Loire cultural artery; Conclusion.

Small and portable in nature - snuff containers, pipes, headrests, staffs, clubs, beer vessels, beaded garments - they were created by semi-nomadic pastoral peoples and primarily intended for daily use. Whether figurative or abstract, carved out of wood, ivory, or horn, or made of cloth, glass beads, or clay, most of these works were much more than exquisitely designed functional objects. Some signaled status, gender, or age; others served as symbolic intermediaries between the world of humans and the realm of the ancestors." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Personal and household arts in southeast Africa; Migratory aesthetics: the art of the cattle cultures of southern Africa, by Karel Nel; Map; Catalogue.

Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Pont-Aven has lent its name to one of the most famous schools of painting in modern art and is now automatically associated with Paul Gauguin and mile Bernard. In 1888, in this Breton village in southern Finist re, the two painters set about inventing the features of a completely new style of painting: Synthetism. Breaking with academic orthodoxy and heavily influenced by Japanese prints, they introduced novel aesthetic principles distinguished especially by a belief in simple forms and the use of color applied in large patches edged by a dark line. This approach further distanced itself from the art that preceded it in its taste for matt tones and the rejection of traditional perspective. This new book reveals to a wider public the important collection that Alexandre Mouradian amassed in only a few years. The collection reflects its creator's great passion for the artists of the Pont-Aven group, as well as others in Brittany and beyond who embraced the new ideas of Bernard and Gauguin without ever losing their individuality. Whether in painting or printmaking, each of these was able to move beyond the imitation of observed reality to express the deepest aspect of his personality: his emotions. The works selected by the collector eloquently show the international reach of what was not strictly speaking a school, in the full sense of the term. Since the private Paris academies were closed during the summer, artists from all over Europe went to Pont-Aven and Le Pouldu to seek inspiration and 'to dare' like Gauguin." - Publisher. Size: 4to.

This lavishly illustrated book compares and contrasts Cartier's Asian-influenced creations--diamond-studded pagodas and pavilions, shimmering phoenixes, jade dragons, and cherry blossoms rendered in colorful gems--alongside exotic objects from the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far Eastern Art, in Geneva, Switzerland. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, exotic objects from China and Japan fascinated Westerners, captivating art lovers and influencing designers. Collector Alfred Baur (1865-1951) began assembling his unparalleled collection of Asian works and Paris jeweler Alfred Cartier (1841-1925) began designing Asian-themed jewels and precious objects. Here, side by side with Cartier's precious creations, are imperial porcelains, lacquerware embellished with precious metals, embroidered silks, jades, colored enamels, netsuke, sword hilts, and prints, offering fresh insight into the marvels of China, of Japan, and of Cartier." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Acknowledgements; Preface, by Pierre Rainero; Preface, by Monique Crick; Cartier, the history of a style, by Pascale Lepeu; The infiltration of western culture into China: objects of European origin in the Forbidden City, by Song Haiyang; In the land of the giant lizards, by Estelle Nikle's van Osselt; An essence of Asia; A world apart; A wondrous bestiary; In an Asian garden; Lines and signs; The Cartier Collection; The House of Cartier, the itinerary of a jeweller; Alfred Baur, the odyssey of a collector; Glossary.

After moving to Argenteuil, a suburban town on the outskirts of Paris, the artist (1840-1926) was inspired to paint the local highway bridge located near his house on the banks of the Seine. Le Pont de Bois (1872) depicts the bridge under repair following the destruction wrought by the war, and as such is a tribute to France's return to order. A composition of startling modernity, the painting also became a starting point for further explorations of this theme. Focusing on twelve major paintings by the artist, this book examines how Monet used the motif of the bridge as a laboratory for his innovative ideas, in his desire to establish himself as a leader of the avant-garde. it also looks at the Impressionists' artistic response in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War and the way in which photographers and painters highlighted the remarkable range of brides in Paris." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword; Acknowledgements; Lenders to the exhibition; Towards the modern landscape: Monet's Le pont de bois in context, by Annabelle Kienle Ponka; Reconstruction and reassurance in paintings: representing the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War, by Richard Thomson; "Great works of human industry": imagining the bridges of Paris, 1852-75, by Simon Kelly; Chronology, by Kirsten Appleyard; Exhibition checklist.
