Описание: In her groundbreaking Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia turned her incisive eye on beauty and decadence in literature, art, and popular culture. Now, Americas premier intellectual provocateur returns to the subject that brought her fame, tackling the great themes of Western art in an enthralling tour through more than two dozen seminal images, some famous and others obscure or unknown. With energy, erudition, and wit, Paglia leads us chronologically through the paintings, sculptures, architectural styles, performance pieces, and digital art that have defined and transformed our visual world. She combines close analysis with background that situates each artist and image within its historical context--from an Egyptian tomb to Titians Venus With a Mirror; from an elegant French Rococo interior to Jackson Pollocks abstract Green Silver; from Renee Coxs daring performance piece Chillin with Liberty to Eleanor Antins amusing conceptual art project 100 Boots. In a stunning ending, Paglia declares that the avant-garde tradition is dead and that director George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, is the worlds greatest living artist. Brilliantly concise and lucidly designed for general readers and students, this continually surprising book deciphers the messages of the cultural code over the past 3000 years, and once again confirms Camille Paglias inimitable talent for overturning the received wisdom of her predecessors. Beautifully written, passionately argued, and filled with Paglias trademark audacity, Glittering Images is destined to change the way we think about our visual environment in this high-tech age.
