Este volumen es resultado del trabajo grupal del proyecto de investigación Circulación de la imagen en la Geografía artística del mundo hispánico en la Edad Moderna (CIRIMA), y particularmente atiende dicho transitar situando a America y lo americano en el centro, tanto geografica como tematicamente. Hemos tomado como detonante la pregunta de Keith Moxey & x0201C;¿puede la disciplina [de la Historia del arte], por ejemplo, aceptar que las apropiaciones no occidentales de estilos occidentales no son un mero atraso? ¿aceptaria que las historias subalternas no son repeticiones de las que son dominantes y que el "centro" no es simplemente imitado cuando aparece en los "margenes"?& x0201D; (El tiempo de lo visual. La imagen en la historia, 2013). Lo que aqui se refleja son respuestas que exploran el papel del arte en America, por mucho tiempo considerado al margen, dadas por un conjunto plural de investigadores internacionales. En sus 10 capitulos se exploran diversos conceptos como circulacion, apropiacion, adaptacion, originalidad, autenticidad, agencia o centralidad del arte en el enorme territorio americano. Con acercamientos teoricos recientes, propuestas metodologicas propias y analisis de casos puntuales, se busca ampliar las miradas, preguntarse por la recepcion artistica

Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts GUARDIAN Few can match Uglow s skill at conjuring up a scene or illuminating a character SUNDAY TIMES Uglow s style is supremely elegant and often amusingly bathetic her research exhaustive but lightly worn FINANCIAL TIMES In 1781 Gilbert White was a country curate living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life Fascinated by the fauna flora and people around him he kept journals for many years and at that time was halfway to completing his path breaking The Natural History of Selborne No one had written like this before with such close observation humour and sympathy his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since treasured by generations of readers Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky warm hearted man the father of ecology by following a single year in his Naturalist s Journal As his diary jumps from topic to topic she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest Fresh alive and original and packed with rich colour illustrations A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew with astonishment and wonder

Marie Antoinette the very name conjures up a vibrant pastel coloured world of excess filled with satin shoes rustling silks gravity defying hairstyles decadent macarons delicious intrigue and then of course bloody Revolution This ground breaking volume first reconstructs the life and style of the captivating yet tragic Marie Antoinette married at 14 queen at 18 and guillotined at 37 from the intimate apartments she lived in to the scent she wore the trends she led and the complexities of French court life The authors draw on contemporary accounts interiors letters portraits and the tantalisingly few personal possessions that remain her shoes and fans and fragments of cloth from her dresses But Marie Antoinette has remained influential long beyond her death in 1793 The book uncovers how the ill fated Queen of France has provided a constant source of inspiration to the worlds of design fashion film and decorative arts from nineteenth century fancy dress balls to Art Deco illustration to the couture of John Galliano for Dior and the sumptuous movie by Sofia Coppola It considers afresh the legacy of a complex and mis understood figure whose style youth and notoriety have contributed to her timeless appeal

Durante el siglo XVIII se empezó a forjar un nuevo y creciente interés sobre las bellas artes que estimuló su conocimiento y estudio. En toda Europa se crearon instituciones como las academias y los museos, que pretendieron cuidar el desarrollo de las artes y salvaguardar sus mas distinguidas creaciones, un legado patrimonial que conformo irremisiblemente la identidad cultural de los distintos paises del continente. El estudio de su pasado, su desarrollo y su historia, se convirtio, poco a poco, en una nueva disciplina humanistica. Este libro estudia este proceso tal y como se produjo en España, desde los estudios eruditos del siglo XVIII hasta su llegada a la universidad a comienzos del XX. A el han contribuido, con sus novedosas investigaciones, una serie de distinguidos especialistas que debatieron recientemente sobre esta tematica en el Museo Nacional del Prado.Joaquin Alvarez Barrientos, Luis Arciniega, Beatriz Blasco Esquivias, Adrian Fernandez Almoguera, David Garcia Lopez, Javier Gonzalez Santos, Hilary Macartney, Concepcion Lomba Serrano, Jonatan Jair Lopez Muñoz, Jesus Pedro Lorente Lorente, Jorge Maier Allende, Carlos Sambricio, Carmen de Tena.

Des del Renaixement a Europa fins als nostres dies a tot el mon, totes aquestes creadores, sovint avantguardistes, han contribuit a la historia de l'art amb genialitat.Com a artistes visuals, pintores, escultores, fotografes i realitzadores de video, han creat obres que donen testimoni de la nostra humanitat.Aquest comic mostra les artistes treballant el mes a prop possible de la creacio de les seves obres. Perque tant a la historia, com a les arts, com mes visibles siguin les dones, mes es reduira la desigualtat.

Desde el Renacimiento en Europa hasta nuestros dias en todo el mundo, todas estas creadoras, a menudo vanguardistas, han contribuido a la historia del arte con genialidad.Como artistas visuales, pintoras, escultoras, fotografas y realizadoras de video, han creado obras que dan testimonio de nuestra humanidad.Este comic muestra a las artistas trabajando lo mas cerca posible de la creacion de sus obras. Porque tanto en la historia, como en las artes, cuanto mas visibles sean las mujeres, mas se reducira la desigualdad.

A traves de voces diversas-artistas tullides, mediadoras, educadoras y activistas culturales- esta obra aborda los nudos y retos que atraviesan la autorrepresentación y las jerarquías en el campo de las practicas artisticas vinculadas a la discapacidad, la neurodivergencia, la salud mental o los cuidados, y que han sido profundamente despolitizadas y desautorizadas. Surge de la voluntad compartida de hacerlas visibles desde una relectura critica del cuidado y la vulnerabilidad, concebidas no como cargas o carencias, sino como potencias politicas desde las que pensar, cuidar, crear y vincularse. Su proposito es compartir experiencias, metodologias, relatos y ficciones criticas que cuestionan las estructuras capacitistas del sistema artistico, concibiendo nuevas formas de relacion entre cuerpos, tiempos y saberes, con umbrales diferentes de dependencia, agenciamiento y exposicion. Desde esta solidaridad situada, Cosmologias vulnerables traza alianzas que interpelan al museo, la pedagogia critica y las politicas publicas para articular lo neurodivergente, lo discay lo afectivo como modos legitimos de conocimiento y de accion politica.

Este libro está estructurado en dos partes. En la primera se exponen, en tres capítulos, numerosos textos con los que, durante más de un milenio, muchos Padres de la Iglesia, teólogos e himnógrafos liturgicos interpretaron concordantemente tres pasajes veterotestamentarios alusivos a flores. La segunda parte se concentra en el analisis iconografico del tallo de lirio en imagenes de la Anunciacion. Para ello, en el capitulo 4 se critican varias opiniones inaceptables sobre los significados del lirio, propuestas por expertos en simbolos. En el capitulo 5, el autor, fundandose en esa milenaria tradicion patristica, teologica e himnografica, argumenta su personal interpretacion mariologica y cristologica del tallo de lirio en las imagenes de la Anunciacion. Tras el epilogo, se consigna la amplia lista de fuentes primarias y bibliografia utilizadas.
