Описание: What is it to be a work of art? Renowned author and critic Arthur C. Danto addresses this fundamental, complex question. Part philosophical monograph and part memoiristic meditation, "What Art Is challenges" the popular interpretation that art is an indefinable concept, instead bringing to light the properties that constitute universal meaning. Danto argues that despite varied approaches, a work of art is always defined by two essential criteria: meaning and embodiment, as well as one additional criterion contributed by the viewer: interpretation. Danto crafts his argument in an accessible manner that engages with both philosophy and art across genres and eras, beginning with Plato's definition of art in The Republic, and continuing through the progress of art as a series of discoveries, including such innovations as perspective, chiaroscuro, and physiognomy. Danto concludes with a fascinating discussion of Andy Warhol's famous shipping cartons, which are visually indistinguishable from the everyday objects they represent. Throughout, Danto considers the contributions of philosophers including Descartes, Kant, and Hegel, and artists from Michelangelo and Poussin to Duchamp and Warhol in this far-reaching examination of the interconnectivity and universality of aesthetic production.

Описание: The remarkable chess sets featured in this volume span time and history, chronicling the story of the game and its design with exemplary pieces from the author's collection, as well as others from museums around the globe. Chess Masterpieces considers chess through the dual perspectives of art and history. For instance, in Islamic countries the taboo against figurative representation led to the familiar abstract shapes we recognize as the traditionalA" chess set.
Local materials and techniques also influenced design, as demonstrated in the ivory, alabaster, and clay chessmen found in Africa. Among the upper classes of Europe, commissions resulted in sets executed by the workshops of Wedgwood and Waterford in England, Limoge in France, Meisen and Villeroy Boch in Germany, Murano and Capodimonte in Italy, and Faberge in Russia. Chess is a war game, and this volume will feature some of the most notable sets created to commemorate battles and historical conflicts such as Waterloo, both World Wars, the Punic Wars, the Ghibellines and the Guelphs, the Crusades, and the American Revolution.
Also reproduced here are a Chinese ivory set of incomparable complexity and workmanship; the famous Lewis chessmen, one of the earliest known examples of European chess design; Egyptian sets made of glass, ceramic, alabaster, and rock crystal; and modern sets created by major artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Yayoi Kusama, Paul McCarthy, and Maurizio Cattelan.

Описание: On August 17th, 1960, on stage at the Indra Club in Hamburg, a band from Liverpool makes its debut. Only the day before, whilst waiting for the ferry boat that would take them to Germany, the band members had chosen to change their name: from that moment on, they would be THE BEATLES. 'Thank You Boys' is a tribute to the Fab 4 and their history, a journey through their career in chronological order using the musical production in both LP and 45 rpm records as narrative thread. From here you can branch out a series of topics that show particular passion for collecting: from magazines to pins, from games to scrapbooks, memorabilia up to the celebration of the great albums' reissues that are able to demonstrate without any doubt that the Beatles' musical heritage and culture is still very much alive.
