1989DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. PRIMA RARA EDIZIONE ILLUSTRATA. Come il poeta Li Po, suo contemporaneo, morì annegato nel tentativo d'afferrare in un fiume il riflesso della luna tante volte cantata, così Wu Tao-tsu, dice la leggenda, scomparve nella nebbia d'un paesaggio appena dipinto. Tratto dalle pagine della tradizione che narra dei fatti e delle gesta dei grandi pittori, questo aneddoto ci svela il senso più profondo della pittura cinese. Regina fra tutte le arti, la pittura è in Cina, come scrive François Cheng nell'introduzione a questo volume, «oggetto d'una vera mistica». Penetrando nei misteri dell'universo, in cui regna lo Spazio originario e spirano i Soffi vitali, essa non chiama semplicemente a contemplare gli spettacoli della creazione, ma a partecipare ai suoi stessi gesti. Dal periodo delle Sei Dinastie fino ai Ming, i pittori cinesi appaiono così, nelle pagine di questo libro, simili a Creatori che tracciano sul Vuoto della carta, dove tutto ha origine e trova la sua Pienezza, il luogo medianico in cui è possibile la vita vera. Comprendere la pittura cinese significa coglierne il senso filosofico: immergersi in una cultura dove arte e sapere sono un tutt'uno irriducibile ai modi di comprensione occidentali. Interprete d'eccezione ne è Francois Cheng per la sua duplice identità, cinese d'origine e francese di adozione. Nella prima parte del volume la sua analisi si concentra sulla nozione di Vuoto come principio originario, dal punto di vista filosofico e semiologico: evocando il suo opposto - il Pieno - esso è un segno indiziale, pittorico ma anche calligrafico, da cui discende una pluralità di significati; transita nelle forme ma non si fissa in esse. La seconda parte verte sull'opera del pittore e maestro Shitao (1642-1707), dove pratica e teoria si integrano reciprocamente. L'idea di Vuoto rinvia a una concezione razionale e spirituale dell'universo, una dinamica vitale e figurativa di assenza e presenza che si riflette nella via della saggezza orientale. Chinese painting might be called philosophy in action, for it is one of the highest expressions of Chinese spirituality. Both a medium for contemplation leading to self-transcendence and a microcosm embodying universal principles and primal forces, it is a means for making manifest the Chinese worldview. At the heart of this worldview is the notion of emptiness, the dynamic principle of transformation. Only through emptiness can things attain their full measure and human beings approach the universe at the level of totality. Focusing on the principle of emptiness, Francois Cheng uses semiotic analysis and textual explication to reveal the key themes and structures of Chinese aesthetics in the practice of pictorial art. Among the many Chinese writers, poets, and artists whose writings are quoted, he gives special emphasis to a great Ch'ing dynasty theoretician and painter, Shih-t'ao. Twenty-seven reproductions of the words of Shih-t'ao and other masters illustrate the interpretive commentary. François Cheng, 1929, Nanchang (Jiangxi). È uno scrittore, poeta e calligrafo cinese naturalizzato francese. Nato in una famiglia di letterati (i suoi genitori furono tra i primi borsisti cinesi negli USA, e il padre partecipò alla fondazione dell'UNESCO come specialista in Scienze dell'educazione), arrivò in Francia nel 1949, senza conoscere una parola di francese, esule dalla sua patria e spinto dalla passione per la cultura francese. Ha intrapreso la carriera universitaria negli anni sessanta, cominciando presso l'École des langues orientales, e cimentandosi in traduzioni di poesia. Fra i poeti tradotti ci sono Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Apollinaire, Char e Michaux. Naturalizzato francese nel 1971, Cheng ha cominciato a pubblicare nella sua lingua d'adozione tardi, scrivendo a proposito della pittura cinese, e poi anche firmando opere di poesia. Successivamente è passato a scrivere romanzi. Nel 2001 François Cheng è stato insignito del Grand Prix de la Francophonie dell'Académie française. Il 13 giugno 2002 è diventato il primo asiatico eletto tra i membri dell'Académie française. È membro dell'Haut Conseil de la Francophonie. Nel 2007 è stato insignito della laurea honoris causa in Lingue e Letterature Straniere dall'Università degli Studi di Bergamo. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Il Vuoto e il pieno.

1920Chipping and small tears to head of spine. Darkening to boards. Gift inscription to inner cover "CGB [Cedric Boulter] from JLC". ; Includes 16 plates. A careful and detailed study of the beauty and grace of ancient Greek vases. ; 161 pages; 1920. When the discovery was made that the design forms of the Greek vase were strictly dynamic and it became apparent that an analysis of a sufficient number of vase examples would be equivalent to the recovery of the technical methods of Greek designers of the classic age, William Sergeant Kendall, Dean of the Yale School of the Fine Arts, immediately recognized its importance and offered his personal service and that of the University to help in the arduous task of gathering reliable material for a volume. Handsomely illustrated.

2020br. Questa storia dell'estetica occidentale, la più completa disponibile in lingua italiana, dal solido impianto storico-critico e ricca di informazioni, è destinata agli studenti delle università e delle accademie, agli insegnanti e a un pubblico colto in genere. Si presenta ora in una versione radicalmente rinnovata, alla quale hanno collaborato giovani e affermati studiosi come Andrea Mecacci e Mariagrazia Portera. Il primo con nuove significative voci novecentesche della riflessione estetica (da Michelstaedter a Gramsci, da Ortega y Gasset a María Zambrano, da Dorfles a Bense) e con filoni del dibattito contemporaneo, come la Everyday Aesthetics. La seconda con voci significative dell'estetica moderna (da Hogarth ad Alison per il Settecento; da Marx ed Engels a Emerson e Thoreau per l'Ottocento) e contemporanea (con un articolato aggiornamento sulle nuove frontiere della ricerca estetica nell'ambito delle neuroscienze, delle scienze cognitive e della psicobiologia).
2020ill., br. Mitogonìa: neologismo coniato dell'autore di questa raccolta di saggi ad indicare l'incrocio fra la lotta (agoghè), necessaria per comprendere, e il fascino del racconto evocativo (mythos). Perché ogni interpretazione è combattimento spirituale. Leggere l'antico come contemporaneo e il contemporaneo come antico. Mitogonìa ci insegna e ci guida ad apprezzare le dinamiche dell'icona, del mito, del simbolo come percorsi, vie, figure viventi a noi vicine e sempre ritornanti nella nostra vita. Un nuovo e antico approccio ermeneutico, che prende sul serio la sua materia, rivivendola. Da Guerre Stellari a Pinocchio, da Sandokan ai Miti greci, fino a nuove analisi della grande arte rinascimentale; Mitogonia spazia tra ampie e molteplici dimensioni (arte, cinema, scienza, religione, teatro e molto altro) ponendosi quale piccola enciclopedia dell'interpretazione della contemporaneità quale labirinto ripercorso e riconfigurato alla luce della Tradizione.

First published in the The Pall Mall Gazette and the Pall Mall Budget on May 9th 1895. In the Sussex Edition the poem is dated 1894. ORG No. 634. Rudyard Kipling was initiated into the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance No 782 founded in 1858 under the English Constitution at the Masonic Hall the Jadughar as described in Kim in Anarkali Lahore on 5 April 1886 at the age of twenty. As this was the Lodge into which he was initiated it became his Mother Lodge. A Freemason will always have a particular attachment to the Lodge which saw him enter into Freemasonry even though he may cease to be a member of that particular Lodge. The poem was written some eight years later when he was living in Vermont. Charles Carrington in his The Complete Barrack-room Ballads p.166 reports that it was written in a single day on October 29th 1894 while Conan Doyle was staying with the Kiplings. It celebrates the equality which reigns among Freemasons without distinction of profession rank race or creed and the first two stanzas clearly reflect the diversity of this particular Lodge underscored by the refrain which contrasts the behaviour displayed in public with that shown inside the Lodge. The use of vernacular with the dropped �h� highlights the wide social rankings of the members." - See "The Mother Lodge" by George Kieffer 2017 London: Methuen And Co.
