The grandfather clock, an entirely new kind of furniture, first appeared in the late seventeenth century. From then on, with its long case to protect pendulum and weights, its rugged movement and large, clear indication of time, it has been a success story right up to the present day. Virtually none of these clocks is beyond repair and often the work required is within the scope of inexperienced owners. This is the first full-length book to cover repair and restoration of these attractive and often valuable antiques, including their casework. The first part outlines how to clean and service the clock works and also how to refurbish the dial, while in the second part restoration or casework, both structural repairs and finishing, is considered. The illustrations are of two actual clocks (one eight-day and one thirty-hour) and work proceeding on them. The last part of the book sketches common variations from these particular examples. Armed with this book and appropriate tools (for work on both movement and case), the owner of a dilapidated grandfather clock will be encouraged and given the know-how to restore it to life as a useful and attractive clock and a prized possession.

This books is a research work from different materials duely acknowledged. ???The focus is to expose the ills of human trafficking in the hope of timely intervention.

Ilya Yefimovich Repin (1844 1930) was a Russian realist painter. He was the most renowned Russian artist of the 19th century, when his position in the world of art was comparable to that of Leo Tolstoy in literature. He played a major role in bringing Russian art into the mainstream of European culture. His major works include Barge Haulers on the Volga (1873), Religious Procession in Kursk Province (1883) and Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (188091).Repin persistently searched for new techniques and content to give his work more fullness and depth. He had favorite subjects, and a limited circle of people whose portraits he painted. But he had a deep sense of purpose in his aesthetics, and had the great artistic gift to sense the spirit of the age and its reflection in the lives and characters of individuals. Repins search for truth and for an ideal led him various directions artistically, influenced by aspects of hidden social and spiritual experiences and national culture.

La creazione di schede di condition report per opere darte e manufatti e unattivita fondamentale per la conservazione: queste schede, se ben redatte e aggiornate, consentono di verificare lo stato di conservazione e registrare eventuali cambiamenti, e, in ambito di mostre temporanee, risultano fondamentali ai fini assicurativi. Negli ultimi anni questo aspetto specifico del lavoro di restauratori e tecnici del restauro ha subito notevoli evoluzioni, passando dalla compilazione di schede cartacee alluso di dispositivi digitali per la condivisione in tempo reale, con la possibilita di scattare foto, inserirle nel documento e creare annotazioni.La pandemia di Covid-19, con le conseguenti restrizioni legate agli spostamenti nazionali ed internazionali, ha rappresentato una nuova opportunita di sviluppo, con lintroduzione della pratica di virtual couriering.Di conseguenza e stata sviluppata una metodologia per lesecuzione dellispezione e la compilazione del condition report in condivisione con i virtual courier, veloce ed efficiente per essere applicata in occasione di allestimento e disallestimento di mostre temporanee, in cui il fattore tempo risulta fondamentale.Il volume presenta questa metodologia, frutto dellesperienza personale delle autrici, con una prima parte di introduzione al metodo e una seconda parte costituita da un manuale operativo, che spiega passo per passo tutte le operazioni affinche il lettore possa replicare la metodologia descritta.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative, and gave rise to important new genres in painting.Rembrandts greatest creative triumphs are exemplified most notably in his portraits of his contemporaries, self-portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible. His self-portraits form a unique and intimate biography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity.

In commencing an account of the life of Rembrandt Van Rhn and his works, I feel both a pleasure and a certain degree of confidence, as, from my first using a pencil, his pictures have been my delight and gratification, which have continued to increase through a long life of investigation. Though I cannot expect to enhance the high estimation in which Rembrandt is held by all persons competent to appreciate his extraordinary powers, nevertheless, the publication of the results of my study may tend to spread a knowledge of his principles and practice, which may be advantageous to similar branches in other schools; for, notwithstanding that his style is in the greatest degree original and peculiar to himself, yet it is founded upon those effects existing in nature which are to be discovered, more or less, in the works of all the great masters of colouring and chiaro-scuro.

Although I am familiar with Rembrandts work, through photographs and black and white reproductions, I invariably experience a shock from the colour standpoint whenever I come in touch with one of his pictures. I was especially struck with that masterpiece of his at the Hermitage, called the Slav Prince, which, by the way, I am convinced is a portrait of himself; any one who has had the idea suggested cannot doubt it for a moment; it is Rembrandts own face without question. The reproductions I have seen of this picture, and, in fact, of all Rembrandts works, are so poor and so unsatisfactory that I was determined, after my visit to St. Petersburg, to devise a means by which facsimile reproductions in colour of Rembrandts pictures could be set before the public. The black and white reproductions and the photographs I put on one side at once, because of the impossibility of suggesting colour thereby.

Der Film Blade Runner ist eine lange Reise durch die Nacht. Er fuhrt uns durch die Straen eines von Atomkrieg und Smog verdunkelten Los Angeles, in dem alles ungewiss geworden ist. Als der Polizist Rick Deckard sich auf die Jagd nach einer Gruppe fluchtiger Replikanten begibt, ahnt er nicht, dass ihn dieser Auftrag verandern wird. Dieses Buch taucht ab in den Innerkosmos von Blade Runner - in die Welt hinter dem Schleier, die in so vielen Ratseln zu uns spricht. Analysiert wird der gesamte Stoff, einschlielich des Settings und der Figuren mit ihren Motiven, Gefuhlen und Abgrunden. Es ist der Versuch, eine Schneise der Deutung zu schlagen.

Lopera ispiratrice di San Benedetto ha guidato i monaci benedettini per quindici secoli. Fondatore di un monastero a Monte Cassino, tra Roma e Napoli, nel sesto secolo, San Benedetto voleva che la sua Regola fosse una guida pratica alla vita monastica cristiana. Basato sui precetti chiave dellumilta, dellobbedienza e dellamore, il suo scopo e quello di creare una comunita religiosa armoniosa ed efficiente in cui gli individui possano progredire nelle virtu cristiane e ottenere la vita eterna. Qui, Benedetto espone routine e regolamenti del monastero ideali, dalle qualita di un bravo abate, i dodici passi verso lumilta e il valore del silenzio per ogni giorno sono importanti come doveri di cucina, cura degli ammalati e punizione adeguata per i ritardi durante i pasti . Leredita di Benedetto e ancora forte: la sua Regola rimane una fonte di ispirazione e un lavoro chiave nella storia della chiesa cristiana. Ogni volta che diciamo gli Uffici della Chiesa, siano essi monastici o parrocchiali, stiamo dicendo liturgie fondate sulle discipline di preghiera di questo santo. Ogni volta che pratichiamo le nostre discipline quaresimali, lo facciamo seguendo alcune delle linee guida che egli ha esposto. Quando confessiamo i nostri peccati, spesso seguiamo listruzione pastorale di San Benedetto. Quindi, egli e piu che il padre di qualche generica forma occidentale di pieta; e un fondatore di gran parte della pratica del rito occidentale della Santa Ortodossia. Ironia della sorte, non e partito nella vita per guidare e istruire gli altri; voleva semplicemente entrare nella solitudine e dire le sue preghiere. Fortunatamente, il Signore aveva altri piani per lui e per noi.Edizione critica a cura di Danka

These proceedings emerge from the symposium "Reclaim: Narratives of African Women Artists," organised by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, in partnership with the École du Louvre, as part of the Africa2020 Season. They bring together research on the practices and trajectories of women from various African countries, spanning from modernist artists to independence activists, and contemporary voices.While African women artists have long received little recognition, this publication seeks to fill some of the gaps and examine the patterns underlying these dynamics. In doing so, it aims to contribute to the revalorisation of African women artists role, as well as to broader reflections on the mechanisms of knowledge production in cultural history.With texts by 3Points...

How to transcend land grab economies, even by means of art? The reader REALTY moves from the safety of critique to the vulgarity of suggestions. The pandemics effect on mobility presents a historic opportunity. Rarely has criticism of our extractive artworld logic of one-place-after-another been louder. REALTY is a long-term curatorial program by Tirdad Zolghadr (*1973), initially commissioned by the KW Institute for Contemporary Art. With the help of numerous artists and experts who contributed over 20172020, this reader revisits how contemporary art can contribute to decisive conversations on urbanism.
