Описание: In the 17th century, masterpieces by Titian, Raphael and Leonardo, were the objects of fervent pursuit by art connoisseurs. The author traces the fate of collections extracted from Italy, Spain and France by King Charles I and his circle which, after a brief stay in Britain, were largely dispersed to princely galleries across the Continent.
Описание: Among the famous graffiti artists from New York Citys 1970s subway era was an unassuming talent from the unassuming borough of Queens. The Italian-American rock and roller who wrote "DON 1 MAFIA" blasted onto the scene like a meteorite out of nowhere. His influence on this art form transcended the inner city and he became a legend and a household name. But his descent from the top of this name game, a result of the hedonistic lifestyle of New York City at the time, was just as swift, and for years DON1 has lived in obscurity. Fortunately, as a photographer studying at the prestigious school of Art and Design, DON1 documented his iconic work, along with that of his well known contemporaries, using his trusted 35mm camera. This penetrating work takes the reader inside the supernova that was DON1s creative life with nearly 200 never before seen graffiti photos of the most undocumented NYC train lines and an even rarer glimpse at work from his black book.

Описание: This work is an account of the formation of the first great royal art collections. Following the English Civil War, the execution of Charles I and the public auction
of his collection and those of his associates, large numbers of works of art of the finest quality came on to the market and were sought after with enthusiasm by many of the richest and
most important figures in Europe. This new and powerful interest in acquiring pictures transformed the way in which painting was viewed within the context of European culture, and is a
story of greed, intrigue and passion.
Starting with the formation and dissolution of the first English royal collection (and those of other notable royalists like the Dukes of Arundel
and Buckingham), the author moves on to discuss the great acquisitions of Philip IV of Spain - many secured by his agents from the "Sale of the Century" in 1650 when 1570 pictures
were disposed of by the victorious English parliamentarians. Titians, Corregios, Raphaels and other great masterpieces (most now still in the Prado) were acquired for derisory sums.
Others enriched collections in the Netherlands and in France, and Brown moves on to discuss the activities of collectors in Antwerp and Brussels, including Peter Paul Rubens and the
Hapsburg Archduke Leopold William of Austria whose collection was for a time the most famous in Europe and now forms the nucleus of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in
Vienna.
Moving on to France, the origins of the Louvre in the collections of Mazarin, Colbert and Richelieu are exp
ored and the book ends with a consideration of the way in which painting became, in the course of the 17th century, to be considered the pre-eminent and most highly prized of the
visual arts.
Описание: For the first time, stunning images of the women of the burlesque stage are gathered together in one great volume. In period photographs the timeless beauty of those exotic women who titillated, teased, and sometimes tortured their audiences is captured and celebrated. These memorable images make it clear that, when it comes to a beautiful body and a gorgeous face, tastes change very little. And just as in the past, the imagination is encouraged to run wild and ponder what might have been. This is a book to relax with and enjoy over and over again. Its rich, nostalgic view of a bygone era in American entertainment will please everyone, men and women alike. A "revealing" piece of Americana!
