Bellobono Angelo; Del Prete E. (cur.); Litardi S. (cur.)
Mappa Appennino-Apennines map. Ediz. bilingue
ill., br. Mappa Appennino è il libro che racconta Linea 1201, un progetto artistico sull'Appennino ideato da Angelo Bellobono e sviluppato insieme alle curatrici Elisa Del Prete e Silvia Litardi. Partendo da Roma, base operativa dell'artista, Angelo Bellobono ha intrapreso un programma di residenze itinerante che ha attraversato l'Appennino in quattro tappe per investigare e raccontare le terre alte dell'Italia mediante l'arte, in dialogo con altri artisti, esperti e appassionati. Il numero "1201" che dà il titolo al progetto rappresenta la lunghezza della catena montuosa, dal limite sud dell'Aspromonte calabrese, fino al Monte Maggiorasca in Liguria. Parte del ricavato della vendita di questo libro sarà devoluta al restauro di uno dei preziosi documenti cartografici appartenenti alla collezione della Società Geografica Italiana di Roma.

Bellomo Donatello
Titanic, l'altra storia
br. La notte tra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, durante il quinto giorno del viaggio inaugurale, il Titanic strisciava contro un iceberg con la fiancata destra. Meno di duecento minuti dopo si spezzava e scompariva nell'oceano immobile. In quel momento iniziava il mito del Titanic, "La Nave" che ha sfondato i confini dell'immaginario, simbolo perpetuo della fallibilità della tecnica sostenuta dal delirio di onnipotenza degli uomini. Il gioiello della White Star Line si è inabissato portando con sé circa millecinquecento persone e le loro storie. Una tragedia mondiale, quasi un prologo delle catastrofi che di lì a poco avrebbero travolto il mondo. Una matassa di reticenze e menzogne ha coperto i responsabili della catena implacabile: errori, omissioni, incuria e negligenze che hanno provocato il disastro destinato a essere il manifesto e il simbolo del Novecento. Ogni frammento della vicenda viene ricostruito con un rigore storico inappuntabile e con uno stile incalzante come un romanzo. Del Titanic si sa "quasi" tutto, ma quella che riemerge da queste pagine è "un'altra storia" dove il dio denaro e il potere commerciale sui mari si intrecciano con la miseria e la frenesia dei mass media. E il dolore con l'amore, l'indifferenza, l'eroismo, la viltà. Sulla "Nave" c'erano il passato e il futuro del secolo breve. Una metafora eterna del nostro tempo.

Breve viaggio nella biologia marina sovietica.
Genova, 1991, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 42/43 - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Belovic, Marina
Ravanica - istorija i slikarstvo
Zavet 1999. paperback. NEW. Monografija predstavlja sazet tekst doktorske disertacije koja je odbranjena 1996. g na Univerzitetu u Prinstonu Princeton University N.J. SAD i zatim prevedena na srpski jezik i prilagodjena okvirima jugoslovenskog izdanja u toku istrazivanja kojima se autor bavio u Centru za vizantijske studije Dambarton Ouks u Vasingtonu. Knjiga je ilustrovana sa 92 crno bele i kolor fotografije i oko 40 crteza. Pisuci o fresko slikarstvu ravanicke crkve M.Belovic je novim naucnim pristupom i najsavremenijom naucnom metodologijom uspostavila sasvim novu naucnu sliku o umetnickoj celini Ravanice. Ona je izucavajuci ovo znacajno delo srpske umetnosti Srednjeg veka osvetlila sve vazne geopoliticke ekonomske kulturne i duhovne prilike vremena u kojima je nastala Ravanica. Analizom mnogih raznorodnih elemenata M. Belovic uspela je da ustanovi koliko su ravanicke freske u teoloskom i liturgijskom pogledu delo svoje epohe i koliko je ovaj umetnicki spomenik reprezentant teoloskih ikonografskih i stilskih shvatanja mocne vizantijske umetnosti ali istovremeno i vesnik novih tendencija koje ce doci do izrazaja u potonjim srpskim delima velike vrednosti kao sto su Kalenic Manasija i druge fresko celine Moravske Srbije.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 288 pages; 189 color and 26 b/w illustrations. Description: "Today we associate Renaissance arts with painting sculpture and architecture. Yet gem-studded goldwork and richly embellished armor; splendid tapestries embroideries and textiles; ephemeral multimedia spectacles; and other opulent creations were consistently more celebrated by contemporaries. Thus Isabella d'Este Marchesa of Mantua bequeathed to her children vases of semiprecious stones mounted in gold engraved gems ivories antique bronzes and marbles. Her favorite ladies-in-waiting by contrast received mere paintings! This distribution underscores Renaissance aesthetic preferences and cultural values: finely-wrought luxury artifacts were extolled for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components while paintings and sculptures in modest materials were considered of lesser consequence. Luxury Arts of the Renaissance endeavors to return to the mainstream materials long overlooked due to historical and ideological biases. The author traces luxury arts from their status as markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to their subsequent marginalization as extravagant trinkets unworthy of the status of art. By re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day Belozerskaya demonstrates how sumptuous creations constructed both the world and taste of Renaissance elites. Without these art forms the study of Renaissance arts is impoverished and history misrepresented. " -- with a bonus offer-- . Museum Publications hardcover

Medusa's Gaze The Extraordinary Journey of the Tazza Farnese
Oxford University Press New york NY 2012. Hardcover octavo; 292pp. monochrome illustrations. Dustwrapper. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "Writing in her 12th-century book Records on Metal and Stone the Chinese poet Li Ch'ing-Chao reflected 'Where there is possession there must be loss of possession; where there is gathering together there must be a scattering - this is a constant principle of things.' It is a wonderfully fitting conclusion to Marina Belozerskaya's delightful little book on the history of the Tazza Farnese and it could also act as an epigraph to every book written about objects over the last two decades. Just as any good biography requires an arresting individual who has lived an interesting and varied life so any book tracing the vicissitudes of an object through time and space needs an eventful narrative of discovery and loss rediscovery jeopardy and ultimate triumph. While most historians have chosen either a generic object or substance such as the tulip or salt to take but two recent examples or an artwork to be investigated along the lines of the 'private life of a masterpiece' Belozerskaya has cleverly chosen something that stands between the two and that offers a rich social panorama across the centuries." - Jerry Brotton Oxford University Press, New york NY, 2012. hardcover
