1998réf. 35115United Kingdom: Bristol Classical Pr. New. Paperback. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- While the men of Classical Athens were fighting wars and producing great works of art what were the women doing According to some of the male writers of the period they were at home making babies and wool; others thought they were likely to be visiting their friends and partying till the small hours. This text investigates the many contrasting images of Athenian women which the Classical Age produced. Taking as its starting point women in the Parthenon sculptures it examines two levels of feminine experience: the human and the divine. The interplay between women’s religious prominence and their domestic obscurity is discussed in relation to the young citizen women who lead the procession; while the great goddesses represented in the frieze are studied in terms of their relationships with human worshippers and on a symbolic level with the mythological females such as the Amazons who appear in the metopes. Finally the book turns to a third aspect looking at the women who do not appear in the Parthenon sculptures -- the prostitutes slaves and alien women who make a vital economic and ideological contribution to the Athenian achievement. -- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Acknowledgements List of Illustrations 1.

Joanna George and Henry : a Pre-Raphaelite Tale of Art Love and Friendship

2012réf. 99636Boydell Press. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 376 pp. ; 87 illus. 58 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Joanna George and Henry tells the story of the intertwined lives of three young artists in the 1850s. When the transcript of the material on which this group portrait is based came to light ten years ago no one could have imagined the drama within. They were family letters: letters from a young woman to her brother and later to her suitor - of interest chiefly because all three were painters and all were active participants in the youthful Pre-Raphaelite revolution that swept England in the 1850s. They turned out to be a revelation - giving not only a comprehensive picture of what it was like to be an artist in the mid-19th century but containing within them a powerful family drama and a most unusual love story. It is a love story moreover told largely from a woman's point of view. Joanna Boyce's dedication to her art was absolute: she studied in Paris under Thomas Couture and had her first painting exhibited at the Academy when she was only 24. She was headstrong self-critical opinionated and teasing - 'an artist with her pen as well as her brush'. She died tragically young. Between them Joanna her brother George and suitor Henry Wells knew all the artistic luminaries of the day among them Ruskin Millais and Rossetti with whom George shared a great deal including mistresses. They wrote to each other not just about art but about their friends their favourite books their travels their illnesses their passions and their quarrels. In this book they tell their story in their own vivid words - a story which portrays the age in which they lived and the powerful drama of their emotional and professional lives. . 2012. 1843836173 .
