‎Chryselephantine Statuary in the Ancient Mediterranean World‎

‎Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2002 hardcover, Faux-linnen bound with dustjacket, 241 pages + 249 illustrations, 28 x 23 cm. ENG text . As new. ISBN 9780198153115.‎

‎Composite statues of gold (chrysos), ivory (elephas), and other precious materials were the most celebrated artworks of classical antiquity. Greek and Latin authors leave no doubt that such images provided a centrepiece for religious and civic life and that vast sums were spent to produce them. A number of these statues were the creations of antiquity's most highly acclaimed artists: Polykleitos, Alkamenes, Leochares, and, of course, Pheidias, whose magnificent Zeus Olympios came to be ranked among the Seven Wonders of the World. Although a few individual images such as Pheidias' Athena Parthenos have been the subject of detailed scholarly analysis, chryselephantine statuary as a class, from the exquisite statuettes of Minoan Crete to the majestic temple images constructed by classical Greek city-states and imitated by the Romans, has not received comprehensive study since 1815. This book presents not only the ancient literary and epigraphical evidence for lost statues and examines representations of them in other media, but also assembles and analyses much-neglected physical survivals, elucidating throughout the innovative techniques, such as ivory-bending, employed in their production as well as the variety of social, religious, and political roles they played within the ancient societies that produced them.‎

‎Progetti e architetture 1957-1984‎

‎Original publishers paper-covered boards, 135 pages, Documenti di architettura"--Jacket. Issued in connection with the exhibition held October 20-December 9, 1984 at the Architektur-Museum Basel. Italian and German text. Fine !. ISBN 8843512900. Il libro è dedicato all'opera architettonica di Luigi Snozzi, architetto svizzero dal linguaggio colto ed essenziale. Il linguaggio di Snozzi è quello asciutto e colto dell?architettura ticinese. Nato a Mendrisio nel 1932, rifiuta qualsiasi eccesso retorico in nome dell?essenzialità. Le sue prime costruzioni, risalenti agli anni Sessanta, sono definite ?neorealiste? da Kenneth Frampton, autore in questo volume del saggio che ripercorre le tappe principali della sua carriera. Segue lo scritto di Vittorio Gregotti ?Sulle tracce dell?architettura?, in cui il radicalismo di Snozzi viene messo a confronto con il rifiuto di ogni ?illusionismo stilistico-conciliativo? catteristico del metodo di Alvaro Siza. Infine il catalogo delle opere dal 1957 al 1984, la cui suddivisione è scandita da brevi frasi dello stesso Snozzi; emergono con chiarezza l?attenta analisi dei fenomeni urbani e paesaggistici, nonché il rapporto dialettico con Kahn e con le più importanti esperienze coeve dell?architettura internazionale: ?Il progetto, prima che strumento di trasformazione, è strumento di conoscenza?.‎

‎Il faut voir l'aube, les pyramides de Gizeh pour comprendre l' tonnement qu'inspirent encore au monde les r alisations de l'Egypte antique. Cet empire dirig par des dieux-rois omnipotents et h r ditaires, cette soci t sophistiqu e qui s' panouit plus de trois mille ans, exercent une fascination perp tuelle, un attrait exotique qu' voque superbement ce formidable portrait. Voici Karnak, Louqsor et la Vall e des Rois ; voici encore le Nil ternel, au bord duquel viennent notre rencontre les figures l gendaires de Toutankhamon, de N fertiti, de Rams s et de Cl op tre, parmi des milliers d'autres Egyptiens, grands et modestes - des humbles marchands et agriculteurs aux pharaons des 31 dynasties immortalis s par des monuments qui comptent parmi les plus envo tants du monde. Ouvrage complet, haut en couleurs, L'Egypte des pharaons est tout la fois une ambitieuse chronique et l' l gante c l bration d'un monde fabuleux, dont l' clat perdure vingt si cles plus tard. Embrassant plus de trois mill naires, travers s par les noms les plus illustres de Rams s, de N fertiti et de Toutankhamon, L'Egypte des pharaons brosse un magnifique portrait de cette culture antique laquelle nous devons les pyramides, le Sphinx et d'innombrables merveilles. A l'aube de cette grande civilisation, une mosa que de royaumes tait tablie dans la plaine fertile du Nil. Ce livre est une ambitieuse chronique qui retrace la construction de l'Egypte et l' dification d'un Empire qui dura trois mille ans. De somptueuses photographies restituent la grandeur de la Vall e des Rois, la beaut des reliefs et font revivre les pharaons, les pr tres et les danseuses, ainsi que le spectacle plurimill naire des felouques sillonnant le Nil. Le captivant r cit de Brian Fagan ne s'en tient pas aux figures l gendaires, aux v nements majeurs et aux r alisations colossales de l'Egypte ; l'auteur explore tous les aspects d'une soci t lettr e, extr mement organis e, dont l'apport l'histoire de l'humanit fut essentiel. Tandis que se succ dent les dynasties, nous voyons voluer une religion complexe, domin e par la figure d'un dieu-roi dont les sujets se consacr rent, g n ration apr s g n ration, l' dification de monuments sacr s. Nous visitons Memphis et Th bes, Karnak et Louqsor, assistons aux co teux rituels glorifiant Isis, Osiris ou ces pharaons immortels pour qui furent b ties des cit s de mausol es. Dans le m me temps, se d voile la vie quotidienne du petit peuple, gouvern e par les rythmes immuables du Nil et de ses saisons. Et mesure que se d roule l' pop e, nous rencontrons galement les aventuriers, les arch ologues et les savants qui en ont assembl les fragments, de Jean-Fran ois Champollion, d codant la pierre de Rosette, Howard Carter, bloui par la splendeur longtemps ensevelie de la tombe de Toutankhamon. Captivante et informative, ponctu e de chronologies et de cartes, L'Egypte des pharaons nous invite une extraordinaire exploration du pass .‎

Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "After the Bauhaus's closing in 1933 many of its protagonists moved to the United States where their acceptance had to be cultivated. In this book Margret Kentgens-Craig shows that the fame of the Bauhaus in America was the result not only of the inherent qualities of its concepts and products but also of a unique congruence of cultural supply and demand of a consistent flow of information and of fine-tuned marketing. Thus the history of the American reception of the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s foreshadows the patterns of fame-making that became typical of the post-World War II art world." - Publisher.
