The fertile ground of painting : seventeenth-century still lifes & nature pieces / by Leonhard, Karin,author.(CARDINAL)856190;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-297) and index.17th-Century Netherlandish Still Life painting actively participated in the intellectual discourse of natural philosophy and the natural sciences, even though art history until recently described it, somewhat simplifying, as realistic-representative painting. We urgently need a rehabilitation of the notion of Mimesis. The author restarts the discussion, by putting more emphasis on the historical notions of Nature and Image. She examines how mimetic structures acquired a biotic reproductive capacity in the 17th century. Still Life painting thematizes the ability of Nature and Art to produce similarities and is therefore predestined for a theorization of mimetic strcutures of Art in general.

This is a portrait if I say so : identity in American art, 1912 to today / by Goodyear, Anne Collins,author,curator.(CARDINAL)266094; Walz, Jonathan Frederick,1970-author, curator.(CARDINAL)337159; Campagnolo, Kathleen Merrill,author,curator.(CARDINAL)208067; Evans, Dorinda,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)151897; Bowdoin College.Museum of Art,host institution,issuing body.(CARDINAL)155216;
Includes bibliographical references (page 242) and index.Director's foreword -- This is a portrait if I say so: identity in American art, 1912 to today / Anne Collins Goodyear, Jonathan Frederick Walz, and Kathleen Merrill Campagnolo -- An American prelude to the abstract portrait / Dorinda Evans -- Portraiture "at the service of the mind": American modernism, representation, and subjectivity from the armory show to the Great Depression / Jonathatn Frederick Walz -- In the company of cultural provocatures: radical portraiture in the 1960s / Kathleen Merrill Campagnolo -- On the birth of the subject and the defacement of portraiture / Anne Collins Goodyear -- Catalogue."This groundbreaking book traces the history of portraiture as a site of radical artistic experimentation, as it shifted from a genre based on mimesis to one stressing instead conceptual and symbolic associations between artist and subject. Featuring over 100 color illustrations of works by artists from Charles Demuth, Marcel Duchamp, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O'Keeffe to Janine Antoni, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Jasper Johns, and Glenn Ligon, this timely publication probes the ways we think about and picture the self and others. With particular focus on three periods during which non-mimetic portraiture flourished - 1912-25, 1961-70, and 1990-the present - the authors investigate issues related to technology, sexuality, artist networks, identity politics, and social media, and explore the emergence of new models for the visual representation of identity. Taking its title from a 1961 work by Robert Rauschenberg - a telegram that stated, "This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so" - this book unites paintings, sculpture, photography, and text portraits that challenge the genre in significant, often playful ways and question the convention, as well as the limits, of traditional portrayal"--Publisher's website.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-348).The volume offers an overview of meta-pictorial tendencies in book illumination, mural and panel painting during the Italian and Northern Renaissance. It examines visual forms of self-awareness in the changing context of Latin Christianity and claims the central role of the Renaissance in the establishment of the modern condition of art. Meta-painting refers to the ways in which artworks playfully reveal or critically expose their own fictiveness, and is considered a constitutive aspect of Western art. Its rise was connected to changes in the consumption of religious imagery in the sixteenth century and to the advent of the portable framed canvas, the single most important medium of modernity. While the key initial contributions of some Renaissance painters from Jan van Eyck to Andrea Mantegna have always been acknowledged, in the principal narrative the Renaissance has largely remained the naïve moment of realistic experimentation to be ultimately superseded by the complex reflexive developments in Early Modern art, following the Reformation.

Maus now : selected writing / by Chute, Hillary L.,editor.(CARDINAL)499613;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 349-388)."Richly illustrated with images from Art Spiegelman's work, Maus Now gathers together many of contemporary culture's leading critics, authors, and academics on the radical achievement and innovation of Maus more than forty years since its first publication. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Art Spiegelman is one of our most influential contemporary artists, and it is hard to overstate his effect on postwar American culture. Maus has shaped the fields of literature, history, and art, and enlivened our collective sense of what these practices can accomplish. Maus Now: Selected Writings collects responses to the work that confirm its unique and terrain-shifting status. Here, writers such as Philip Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin, and others approach Maus from a wide range of viewpoints and traditions, inspired by the material's complexity. The book is organized into three very loosely chronological sections: "Contexts," "Problems of Representation," and "Legacy," and offers translations of important French,Hebrew, and German essays on Maus for the first time. Maus is revelatory, and generative, in profound and long-lasting ways. With this collection, American literary scholar (and expert on comics and graphic narratives) Hillary Chute assembles the best work around the globe exploring this classic graphic biography"--
