3985 рубA Chosen Path: The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes
Edited by Mark Shapiro Renowned ceramic artist Karen Karnes has created some of the most iconic pottery of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The body of work she has produced in her more than sixty years in the studio is remarkable for its depth, personal voice, and consistent innovation. Many of her pieces defy category, invoking body and landscape, pottery and sculpture, male and female, hand and eye. Equally compelling are Karnes's experiences in some of the most significant cultural settings of her generation: from the worker owned cooperative housing of her childhood, to Brooklyn College under modernist Serge Chermayeff, to North Carolina's avant garde Black Mountain College, to the Gate Hill Cooperative in Stony Point, New York, which Karnes helped establish as an experiment in integrating art, life, family, and community. This book, designed to accompany an exhibit of Karnes's works organized by Peter Held, curator of ceramics for the Arizona State University Art...

Edited by Malcolm Baker and Brenda Richardson The Victoria and Albert Museum was founded in 1852 as a pioneering museum of applied and decorative arts and its incomparable holdings include ceramics, metalwork, jewellery, furniture and woodwork, sculpture, textiles, paintings, drawings and prints. More than 250 works, giving an overview of this vast collection, are illustrated and discussed in A Grand Design, which is published in conjunction with a major exhibition. A Grand Design examines the history of one of the world's great museums, the formation of its collections and the way these have been constantly re-interpreted through its displays. Following its foundation in the wake of the 1851 Great Exhibition, the Museum was concerned especially with "modern manufactures" in an attempt to raise standards of design among British manufacturers. But from the start it was collecting older works as models of good design and, through the development and presentation of its collections, played a decisive role in the establishment of the...

Chapters: Cross of Cong. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 46. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Cross of Cong is an early 12th century Irish Christian ornamented processional cusped cross, which was, as an inscription says, made for Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair (d. 1156), King of Connacht and High King of Ireland to donate to the Cathedral church of the period that was located at Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. The cross was subsequently moved to Cong Abbey at Cong, County Mayo, from which it takes its name. It was designed to be placed on top of a staff and is also a reliquary, designed to hold a piece of the purported True Cross. This gave it additional importance as an object of reverence and was undoubtedly the reason for the object's elaborate beauty. The Cross will be on display in the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life, Turlough...

3231 рубBenin: Visions of Africa series
Barbara Plankensteiner The Benin kingdom of the Edo people flourished in West Africa between the 15th and 19th centuries. The latest volume in the highly regarded Visions of Africa series explores the remarkable court art of this powerful empire. Their unique bronzes and stunning ivory and wood carvings enjoyed a place in the royal palace grounds of Benin City until 1897, when the empire succumbed to British rule and the works were scattered around the globe. These works were essential elements in court rituals and representation, and are reassembled here for the first time. In this beautifully illustrated study of a fascinating chapter in African art history, a leading scholar introduces the complex history, iconography, and function of Benin royal art and discusses various approaches to its interpretation and stylistic development.
