This book rewrites the history of jewellery in the age ofVictoria. The age of Victoria is taken in its widest sense toencompass jewellery made throughout Europe and America, displayedat the great international exhibitions and distributed throughforeign trade, illustrated publications and a burgeoning touristindustry. Throughout, links with other disciplines will provideboth the specialist and the non-specialist with the information tounderstand how jewellery permeated all walks and conditions of lifein the 19th century. The focus of the book is on the attitudes ofowners to their jewellery and the symbolic weight that it wasexpected to carry. Rather than concentrating on the major figuresat the top end of the jewellery trade, or indeed offering achronological survey of the development of jewellery styles andfashions, it is oriented towards the social aspects of owning,wearing and displaying jewellery. The authors show, for example,how novelists use jewellery to add a moral or metaphoricaldimension to a

Somewhere between jewelry and bodyadornment, the necklaceoffers perhaps the mostexciting decorative possibilities of anyarticle ofpersonal display. What is worn around the neckcannot beignored - unlike the more discreet charms of ear and fingerdecoration - and the necklace as an emblem of wealth, status andproclivity has been shaped and reshaped through the centuries bysuccessive fashions, techniques and materials, from the Egyptianbroad collar and the Celtic gold torc, to the diamond sautoirs ofthe I92OS and the exuberant creations of the liberatedsixties. The major part of this book is devoted to the necklace in the19th and 2oth centuries, as these are the most accessible to thepotential buyer and collector. There are, however, substantialsections on the earlier history of the necklace form: thefigurative pectorals of Egypt, Greek and Roman chains andmedallions, the ornamental inspiration of Renaissance art, theadvent of the pearl necklace in the 17th century. The I9th century then saw th

There is no doubt about Gustav Klimt's greatness as a draftsman.Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that heestablishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolors: thepencil or crayon line with which his subjects are describedexplores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself aseduction. Klimt's drawings are often highly erotic and explicit,many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. Thishas made for an unbalanced representation of his work as adraftsman, and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is longoverdue. Rainer Metzger, a notedart historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt's drawingsand watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artistand enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt's drawings andstudies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicatingpreparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for andstructure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.

The Spanish artist Antonio Lopez Garcia is revered worldwidenot only for the extreme realism he brings to his paintings anddrawings, but because he conveys through this extreme realism awonderful sensitivity to light, color and space, enabling each tobreathe with a tranquility that allows for the encroachments ofeveryday life. Interior scenes of dining tables, bathroom sinks,toilets, dressers are depicted in sober light that recall Chardinor the intimisme of Vuillard--though Lopez Garcia surpasses eventhese masters in his ability to make unforgivingly prosaic subjectmatter, such as a brick wall or a refrigerator, sparkle and throbwith mood. The artist's statement that "you work until the wholesurface has an expressive intensity equivalent to what you havebefore you, converted into a pictorial reality" conveys somethingof the labor he brings to his works: Lopez Garcia is not a prolificartist, and as a result shows rarely (his 2008 exhibition at theMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston, consolidated his already st

Edward Hopper is as quintessentially American as Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol. Like them, his imagery has reached far beyond the realm of art to impact on our culture in the broadest terms, so that we see early twentieth-century America through his work, as much as within it. the painter Charles Burchfield attributed Hoppers success to his bold individualism, declaring that in him we have regained that sturdy American independence which Thomas Eakins gave us. Hoppers art was profoundly of its time, both in its expression of the subtle melancholies of modern life and in its deeply cinematic qualities perhaps Hoppers greatest gift was his treatment of light to which directors from Alfred Hitchcock to Wim Wenders have paid homage. This volume presents a definitive Hopper monograph. Published for a massive retrospective at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and the Grand Palais in Paris, it approaches Hoppers relatively small oeuvre in two sections. The first covers the artists formative years from approx

Pervasive and multidisciplinary,this insightful exploration discusses how and why this seminal workdeveloped, and continues to grow, such a cult following. When Fight Club punched its way onto the scene a decade ago, itprovided an unprecedented glimpse into the American male’s psycheand rapidly turned into a euphemism for a variety of things thatshould be “just understood” and not otherwise acknowledged. Key toits success is the variety of lenses through which the story can beinterpreted; is it a story of male anxiety in a metrosexual world,of ritual religion in a secular age, of escape from totalitariancapitalism, or the spiritual malaise induced bytechnologically-oriented society? Writers, conspiracy theorists,and philosophers are among those ready to talk about FightClub ’s ability to be all these and more.

The beautiful and bizarre imagery of this popular Polishsurrealist is now collected in an elegantly designed treasury. 60color illustrations. 10 photos.
