In the footsteps of the old masters : the myth of golden age Holland in 19th century art and art criticism / by Rosales Rodríguez, Agnieszka,author.(CARDINAL)338027; Michałowicz, Klaudyna,translator.(CARDINAL)615085;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-383) and index.The author presents a broad phenomenon known under the term of "Hollandism" as present in the European culture. Investigating various areas of 19th century painting, art criticism and literature, the author explains interpretation cliches attached to the culture of the Golden Age (e.g. its bourgeois and Protestant character, its realism and its genre character), which are entrenched in art history. She also presents those aspects of northern Netherlandish painting in the 17th century which were contrary to this image and which made many artists seek the sources of modernite in the art of Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer. The book offers an insight into the complex motivations and attitudes towards the artistic tradition not only of the great painters, but also of the little-known, almost forgotten imitators of the Dutch "Little Masters".

Black out : silhouettes then and now / by Naeem, Asma,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-172) and index.Primarily tracing the rise of the silhouette in the decades leading up to the Civil War, Black Out also considers the ubiquity of the genre today, particularly in contemporary art. Using silhouettes to address such themes as race, identity, and the notion of the digital self, the four featured living artists--Kara Walker, Kristi Malakoff, Kumi Yamashita, and Camille Utterback--all take the silhouette to unique and fascinating new heights. Presenting the distinctly American story behind silhouettes, Black Out vividly delves into the historical roots and contemporary interpretations of this evocative, ever popular form of portraiture.

Dark Romanticism : from Goya to Max Ernst / by Borgards, Roland.(CARDINAL)881373; Hollein, Max.(CARDINAL)277531; Krämer, Felix,1971-(CARDINAL)305901; Städtische Galerie im Städelschen Kunstinstitut Frankfurt am Main.(CARDINAL)170970;

Mena Marqués -- Moments of the sublime : Fuseli and aspects of dark Romanticism in British art / Franziska Lentzsch -- Satan's heirs : the legacy of irrationality in French Romanticism / Nerina Santorius -- What you have seen in the darkness... : dark Romanticism in German painting before 1850 / Mareike Hennig -- The decadence and demonism of the self : French and Belgian symbolism / Dorothee Gerkens -- "Sapere aude" : Dark Romantic symbolism in an enlightened time / Claudia Wagner -- The omnipotence of the dream : Romanticism and Surrealism / Ingo Borges -- Essays. -- "The light was removed" : on dark Romantic literature / Roland Borgards -- The sound of painting : dark Romanticism in opera / Alexander Meier-Dörzenbach -- Living images : dark Romanticism in cinema / Claudia Dillmann.From its very inception in the late eighteenth century, Romanticism's celebration of euphoria and sublimity has been dogged by its equally intense fascination with melancholia, insanity, crime, the grotesque and the irrational. In 1930, the famous literary theorist Mario Praz named this strain in literature "Dark Romanticism," but its equivalent in art has never been thoroughly assessed in art history. This volume is the first to examine a current that runs from Goya's war etchings through Symbolism and up to Surrealism, presenting Romanticism as an intellectual position that was embraced throughout Europe and that endured into the twentieth century.
