Nicolas Poussin
French classical painter Poussin, who settled in Rome in 1624 at the age of 30, has been championed by successive generations of French artists who considered him the exemplar that justified and sustained their own efforts. Featuring 90 color and 210 black-and-white reproductions, this tony catalogue of a major exhibition in Paris and London showcases an artist who looks modern in his use of color to mirror his subjects"underlying emotions, and in his concern for abstract harmony and formal design. Verdi, an art professor in England, discusses the strong influence of ancient Stoic philosophy on Poussin's painting, and the predominant theme of ill-fated or unrequited love in his early works (possibly linked to the artist's venereal disease). Moving beyond his early, restless experimentation, Poussin in his middle years did religious, historical or mythological scenes that gauge the progress of humanity. Then come the personal, poetic allegories of his late, pantheistic canvases. Rosenberg, director of the Louvre, chose the paintings for the exhibit. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc."

L'ABCdaire des arts africains
L?ABCdaire tente de dévoiler le panorama des différentes cultures qui constituent aujourd?hui les Arts africains; arts qui ont suscité l?intérêt d?artistes comme Picasso et André Breton, et qui, d?une façon générale, ont influencé tous les courants artistiques du XXème siècle. Afin de rendre compte des diversités et des richesses propres à chaque pays de l?Afrique noire, l?ABCdaire nous mène à la rencontre de chaque société: on découvre les relations qu?un peuple comme les Baoulés (Côte d?Ivoire) ou les Yoroubas (Nigeria) entretiennent avec l?idée du sacré ou l?idée de communauté, on incite le lecteur à s?interroger alors sur la signification sociale de leurs productions artistiques. Voici un livre précieux qui cherche à montrer les différents visages de l?Afrique, certes à travers les statuaires, les masques, l?art religieux, l?art colonial, mais aussi en mettant en relief des productions moins connues comme les marionnettes, les cercueils, l?art de la récupération, et toutes les productions contemporaines; il s?offre donc au lecteur comme un guide indispensable. L?ABCdaire propose: • une chronologie resituant dans un contexte historique les courants stylistiques • une étude du contexte social et cultuel des ethnies les plus importantes • une iconographie riche qui tente de représenter toute la diversité du patrimoine africain (statuaires, masques, mais aussi tableaux contemporains).Sur commande, 2 à 4 joursCOMMANDER4,95 €
