The Henri Cartier-Bresson, the Early Work (Paperback)by Peter Galassi Galassi examines Cartier-Bresson's work in the cultural and intellectual context of 1930s Europe, and considers such topics as the influence on the medium of technological developments. Galassi says of these photographs that "not all are admirable but none is boring." The reproductions are sometimes rich, sometimes flat, due to an unevenness in the original images.

| Madonna Nudes 1979 (English and German Edition) (Paperback) ~ Martin Hugo Maximilian Schreiber From the foreword: `On 12 February, 1979, a quiet, shy young woman walked into my studio for the first time. She was the nude model for my photography class that evening. She said that she was a dancer, her name was Madonna Ciccone. She was not only a welcome relief from the average lumpy, but sweet, art-class model, but she was also one of the loveliest models I ever photographed. This book is a celebration of the human form, a dedication to an innocent, determined young woman and to all figure models. It is a tribute to Madonna and anyone like her who aspires and through ambition, hard work and perseverance, achieves their goal. Bravo.` * Publisher: Taschen (June 1990) * Language: English, German * ISBN-10: 3894500832

Art in the Hellenistic Age (Paperback)~ Jerome Jordan Pollitt 'The best reason to study Hellenistic art is for its own sake' writes Professor Pollitt in the Preface to Art in the Hellenistic Age. 'But', he continues, 'I would suggest that there is an additional quality that should make the art of the Hellenistic age of particular interest to modern audiences: the fact that in background and content it was the product of an age in many ways similar to our own ... The result of the historical conditions (of the age) was an art which, like much modern art, was heterogenous, often cosmopolitan, increasingly individualistic, and frequently elite in its appeal'. This book is an interpretative history of Greek art during the Hellenistic period - i.e. from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, to the establishment of the Roman Empire at the end of the first century BC - which also explores ways in which that art is an expression of the cultural experience and aspirations of the Hellenistic age.Product Details * Paperback: 344 pages * Publisher: Cambridge University Press (June 27, 1986) * Language: English * ISBN-10: 0521276721

| Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, Postmodernism [Hardcover] byHal Foster(Author), Rosalind Krauss (Author), Yve-Alain Bois (Author), Benjamin Buchloh (Author) Here's an exceptional rarity: a large, sweeping art history text book so well-done it almost makes the reader wish she or he were back in school. It's rather amazing that it took so long for a book like Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, and Postmodernism to exist: a balanced, seven hundred page historical tome written with multiple perspectives in mind. As any undergrad knows, H.W. Janson's ubiquitous History of Art was written as if art history were some sort of race to colonize ideas and imagery; you'll likely not miss Janson's fetish for pointing out who did what first. Penned by a nimble crew who all teach at Ivy League universities, Art Since 1900, which mirrors the development of psychoanalysis and the creation of a huge international art scene, is on a smaller scale a history of contemporary theory and the art world almost as much as it is the art itself. Attention is paid throughout to important exhibits and texts, pointing out the rippling effect throughout the art community of these mirrors and portals. The book is arranged so that there are one or two essays per year. In such a novel format, often undervalued movements are given as much respect as Cubism and Minimalism. There are entire chapters here on Fluxus, feminist art, the Assemblage movement, Lettrism, the Independent Group, Gutai, Kineticism, the Harlem Renaissance, Aktionism, earthworks, video art, and the aesthetics of ACT UP. As with any history, there are personalities whose works are emphasized over that of others; the scant attention given to Jean-Michel Basquiat, for instance, is a rather large question mark. Quibbles aside, it's a very important, and nearly immaculate, work.

| Women, Art, and Society (World of Art) [Paperback]Whitney Chadwick Of course you've heard of Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Degas, but what about Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyden and Berthe Morisot? If you left college art history classes wondering why women are so often the subject of Western art but so rarely its creators, this book will prove fascinating. In her comprehensive, readable and richly illustrated text, Whitney Chadwick examines not only the works of little-known but extremely gifted women artists, but the strategies by which women have been excluded from the traditional canon of "great artists." She points out numerous instances in which a woman's works have been attributed to her less talented father, lover or simply another, more famous male contemporary. Most importantly, Women, Art and Society illuminates a wonderful world of art which can speak for all of us-from a woman's perspective.This book gets a 4.5/5 rating from Amazon customers# Paperback: 512 pages# Publisher: Thames & Hudson; 4th edition (March 26, 2007)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0500203938# ISBN-13: 978-0500203934# Product Dimensions: 8.3 x 6 x 1.3 inches# Shipping Weight: 2.3 pounds

Reclaiming Female Agency: Feminist Art History after Postmodernism [Paperback]Norma Broude (Editor), Mary D. Garrard (Editor) This volume is the third in an influential series of anthologies by editors Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard that challenge art history from a feminist perspective.

Framed by a lucid and stimulating critical introduction, twenty-three essays on artists and issues from the Renaissance to the present, written in the 1990s and after, offer a nuanced critique of the poststructuralist premises of 1980s feminist art history.# Paperback: 486 pages# Publisher: University of California Press; 1 edition (April 11, 2005)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0520242521# ISBN-13: 978-0520242524# Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 7.2 x 1.1 inches# Shipping Weight: 2.4 pounds
