Preventa de eBooks de Historia del arte

Una lectura absorbente que arroja luz sobre uno de los delitos más lucrativos y desconocidos del mundo: el robo de arte.Casi tan antiguos como la propia humanidad, los robos de arte se remontan hasta los origenes de los primeros grandes imperios. Desde entonces, nos fascinan y repelen por igual, pero, ¿que se esconde tras ellos? ¿Por que se roba el arte? ¿Que ocurre con las piezas robadas? ¿Existen realmente los robos por encargo? ¿Como funciona el mercado negro del arte? Encontraremos respuesta en este apasionante recorrido a traves de cincuenta robos y saqueos que han determinado el rumbo de la historia. Pero, sobre todo, intentaremos dar respuesta al mayor enigma de todos, ¿por que, a pesar de que la mayoria de nosotros nos encontramos del lado bueno de la historia, nos resultan tan fascinantes?

Un breve, delicioso e imprescindible tratado lleno de sugerentes ideas para comprender qué es el arte, qué utilidad puede tener para nosotros, cómo creamos, cómo el arte abre mundos y cómo puede transformarnos para imaginar un futuro diferente. ¿Que hace el arte por nosotros? ¿Y para que lo necesitamos?Podriamos decir que el arte es uno de los principales atributos del ser humano, como el lenguaje. Es facil entender por que el lenguaje es universal, pero no parece ser tan sencillo imaginar que el arte tambien lo es.En este libro, Brian Eno y Bette Adriaanse nos llevan de la mano mientras exploran esta vital cuestion a la vez que animan al resto del mundo a ser mas abiertos y atrevidos con el arte y con la vida.El arte es una forma de hacer que los sentimientos sucedan

Murales de Córdoba. Fotografías reúne una extensa documentación fotográfica y ensayística sobre el muralismo contemporáneo en la ciudad de Córdoba. El libro combina registro visual, reflexión crítica y testimonios de artistas para mostrar como el arte urbano se convirtio en un elemento central del paisaje cultural y politico de la ciudad. En los textos introductorios, Fernando Vanoli describe el mural como un lenguaje alternativo y un campo de batalla simbolico: las paredes hablan cuando la ciudad asfixia, son archivo vivo de luchas, memorias y sueños colectivos. El mural se diferencia del grafiti y otras formas de arte callejero por su caracter planificado y legitimado, aunque ambos conviven en los barrios como expresiones de resistencia y dialogo comunitario. Cordoba, declarada recientemente "Capital Provincial del Arte Urbano", ofrece un repertorio que va desde homenajes al cuarteto y al futbol hasta retratos de mujeres, infancias, naturaleza y pueblos originarios. Debora Majul aporta una mirada desde la antropologia visual y el urbanismo feminista. Analiza como los murales no son meras decoraciones, sino intervenciones politicas que disputan sentidos en el espacio publico. Subraya el giro de los ultimos años hacia representaciones de mujeres, disidencias y luchas sociales, visibilizando cuerpos e historias antes marginadas. Su recorrido por murales emblematicos (como el de las futbolistas de Belgrano, el homenaje a aviadoras, la "Barbijera" de la pandemia, las figuras afrodescendientes de Raices o el mural por Marita Veron) muestra como estas obras construyen memoria, identidad y resistencia. El libro se organiza en secciones tematicas y cada mural aparece acompañado por fotografias de alta calidad y por fragmentos de los propios artistas, que explican sus motivaciones esteticas y politicas. Las obras retratan desde iconos populares como la Mona Jimenez, Rodrigo y jugadores de la "Scaloneta", hasta escenas comunitarias, homenajes a victimas de la dictadura, feminismos y memorias migrantes. El testimonio de Pagliero funciona como hilo conductor. Desde su infancia marcada por la fotografia hasta sus recorridos por barrios y encuentros con muralistas, el autor explica como fue construyendo un archivo visual y afectivo. En colaboracion con la editorial Bosquemadura, organizo el material y obtuvo las autorizaciones de decenas de artistas, logrando asi un mosaico coral de voces e imagenes. En definitiva, Murales de Cordoba. Fotografias no es solo un catalogo de obras: es un ensayo visual y textual sobre la ciudad como territorio en disputa. Los murales aparecen como contra-monumentos que interpelan al transeunte, inscriben memorias colectivas, politizan lo cotidiano y abren posibilidades de imaginar otros modos de habitar lo urbano. El libro celebra al mural como arte vivo, efimero y comunitario, capaz de transformar muros grises en archivos abiertos de identidad, resistencia y esperanza.

When Abdul Rahman Munif embarked on the first extensive study in Arabic about Marwan Kassab Bachi, he mailed the artist asking about how his art emerged, its contextual influences, and timely interpretations. Marwan recorded his answers on seven audio tapes and sent them to Munif, but also started writing his memoirs in Arabic. This book is an anthology of the letters exchanged between two friends, Marwan in Berlin and Munif in Damascus, from 1990 to 2004.

This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

Conflict does more than destroy physical spaces. It extinguishes lives, erases histories and disrupts the collective memory of entire communities. In Gaza, where genocide has wrought catastrophic loss, the destruction of heritage adds another dimension of devastation. Yet amid the rubble, acts of archiving, art-making and storytelling persist.Archiving Gaza in the Present brings together voices from Palestine and beyond to document the cultural erasure and to explore how creative and archival practices resist it. Contributions from curators, architects, artists, journalists, lawyers and scholars capture Gazas once-vibrant cultural life historic buildings, art centres, universities and museums that existed before October 2023 now turned to rubble.Featuring rich visual material from fragmented WhatsApp testimonies to forensic documentation and including artworks, maps and photographs, Archiving Gaza in the Present is both a living archive and a call to action. It is a vital resource for understanding Gazas cultural survival amid destruction.In partnership with the Arab British Centre.Contributors include Selma Dabbagh, Salman Abu Sitta, Shareef Sarhan, Hazem Harb, Malak Mattar, Marc-Andre Haldimann, Nadia Yaqub, Omar Al-Qattan, Kegham Djeghalian, Caitlin Procter, Atef Alshaer, Shatha Safi, Yara Sharif and Nasser Golzar.

This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish artist Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003), featuring essays by renowned art historians and curators, and a selection of archival materials from 1940s1990s. Maziarska was one of the most important voices of the avant-garde in Poland, alongside recently recognized Erna Rosenstein, her closest friend and interlocutor. The title "assembly" speaks to Maziarska as engineer and bricoleur of source materials and methods, producing an abstraction which is uncategorizable within the postwar Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II) and beyond. Her artistic processes were rooted in the physicality of assembling as a response to concepts of reproduction and modernity. Active from the 1940s through to the 1990s, Maziarska was informed by science, phenomenology, mass photography, printed reproductions and newspapers clippings, out of which she developed autonomous structures.Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003) studied and lived in Krakow. She was a member of the second Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II), co-established by Tadeusz Kantor. She was known as an outsider, focused on her daring and progressive experimentation with various media.

Este livro trata da influencia do Neorrealismo na cinematograa brasileira dos anos 1960, mais precisamente do seu contributo para a ecloso do Cinema Novo brasileiro. Refaz o percurso das trocas culturais entre os dois paises a partir dos jovens cineastas em contato com a cinematograa italiana antifascista do pos-guerra e seus expoentes. O Cinema Novo faz uma leitura da "etica da estetica" que foi a referida escola do cinema europeu, conforme esclarece Lino Micciche. Uma interpretaço, por sua vez, tipicamente brasileira de forma antropofagica, em que os elementos criativos se misturam aos repetitivos na criaço filmica que tantos premios conquistou no exterior.
