Literature about Durer fills library shelves. Does this meaneverything has already been said about the artist? Far from it,according to the scholars at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum andtheir international partners in the Early Durer Project. This bookdeals with the core phenomena of Durers early work, ranging fromthe artists biography and surroundings to the question of Durersrole as the archetype of the modern artist. New sociologicalapproaches allow us to interpret Durers ideal neighbourhood as asource of inspiration for the artists work, resituating Durer inthe artistic context of his time, at an exciting crossroad betweenthe imitation of traditional painting and the self-consciousrenewal of his profession. Photographs of Durers early work, manyof which are new and published here for the first time, completethe publication, which will establish a new basis for a modernunderstanding of Germanys most famous artist.

Music defines us. To return the favor, we’ll stick up withzealous passion for the performers and bands that we love . . . andheap aspersions and ridicule upon people who dare to place theirallegiances above our own. In Rock and Roll Cage Match, today’sleading cultural critics, humorists, music journalists, andmusicians themselves take sides in thirty of the all-time juiciest“who’s better” musical disputes. Marc Spitz on the Smiths vs. the Cure: “If the Smiths are its JamesDean, the Cure are the Marlon Brando of modern rock.” Gideon Yago on Nirvana vs. Metallica: “Here is why Nirvana willalways be a better band than Metallica. It’s not because they hitharder (they do). It’s not because they are tighter (they’redefinitely not). . . . It’s because Metallica is fundamentallyabout respecting rules—of metal, of production, of technicality—andNirvana is about breaking those rules down in the pursuit ofinnovation. Metallica was metal. Nirvana was something else.” Touré on Michael Ja

"I don't have two lives," Annie Leibovitz writes in theIntroduction to this collection of her work from 1990 to 2005."This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignmentwork are all part of it."

Few artists have created as much controversy or survived itwith greater fame than Edouard Manet. In his day, the avant-gardewas not only a challenge to the traditions of art, but it was alsoa gunshot fired at society as a whole. With his painting Olympia(1869), Manet was to become, to quote Degas, as famous asGaribaldi. Yet how the urbane and diffident son of a bourgeoisfamily became the father of both Realism and Impressionism is acomplex and fascinating story that has too often been reduced totextbook clichés. As Manet has become recognized as a touchstonefor historical change but also for interpretations of how thatchange came about, his individual story has become all the morerelevant to the study of art history. Moreover, far from being anartists to shrink behind his work, one of Manets mostcharacteristic practices was to leave an indelible trace of his ownpersonal identity within his paintings, as illustrated throughoutthe volume by eminent scholar James H. Rubin. This lavishlyillustrated volume

The development of Soviet realist painting over fifty years through a selection of works from Russias leading museums. Socialist Realism was and remains an exceptional phenomenon in twentieth century art. It bore the challenge of promoting realist figuration on a scale without parallel in the rest of the world, employing the talents of thousands of artists over decades and spreading over an immense and varied empire. By glorifying the social role of art, affirming the primary value of content as opposed to form and restoring the central role of traditional practices, socialist Realism was the declared opponent of the modern movement, and in fact represented the only completely alternative artistic system. Created by the great Russian artists (Deineka, Malevic, Adlivankin, Laktionov, Plastov, Brodskij, Korzhev) the works present a multiplicity of questions, themes and formal approaches to art spanning from the last phases of the civil war to the beginnings of the Brezhnev era, stopping at the early 1970

本书的新观点：1摩梭达巴教是苯教的原始形式，达巴教的历史要上溯到新石器时代，是原始宗教的活化石，摩梭艺术是原始艺术活化石；摩梭文字也是活化石，可以说是人类原始文明的活化石；还有学者称摩梭母系家庭是人类母系社会的活化石。2摩梭和纳西的某些图案和象形文字与青海马家窑文化有渊源关系。西藏卡若文化、横断山石棺葬文化与上述文化也有渊源关系，我们称之为青藏高原东部文化带。本文化带内有20余个民族，他们的民俗、语言、文化有很多相似之处，可能他们来自共同的源头。3吐蕃的崛起，导致西藏本土象形文字被藏文取代，多元文化被吐蕃文化同化。在吐蕃的边缘地带，原始宗教和象形文字保留下来。如达巴教、东巴教、东巴象形文字、达巴象形符号等。
