These paintings include everything from Sandro Botticelli's Venus and Mars, to Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers, giving children a wonderful introduction on how to look at pictures. Drawn - The Art of Ascent is a rich, textured and soulful exploration of summits lost and achieved through the illustrative maps and art of Jeremy Collins.

'Approaches' are probably more varied -- and more debated -- in the history of art than in any other branch of history, and a study of different historical approaches is becoming an increasingly important component of many student courses. In this anthology of art-historical writings from the Renaissance to the present day, key texts have been chosen in which the authors reflect on the nature of their subject and on their own methods of inquiry. Included are texts by Vasari, Winckelmann, Burckhardt, Wolfflin, Panofsky, Gombrich and Pollock, among others. The introduction gives a lucid and readable summary of art-historical methods, and each of the texts is accompanied by a commentary that places it in context and discusses the issues it raises. Also provided is a critical glossary of terms and a select bibliography.

This clear and concise new introduction examines all the major debates and issues using a wide range of well-known examples. It discusses the challenge of using verbal and written language to analyse a visual form. Dana Arnold also examines the many different ways of writing about art, and the changing boundaries of the subject of art history. Topics covered include the canon of Art History, the role of the gallery, 'blockbuster' exhibitions, the emergence of socialhistories of art (Feminist Art History or Queer Art History, for example), the impact of photography, and the development of Art History using artefacts such as the altarpiece, the portrait, or pornography, to explore social and cultural issues such as consumption, taste, religion, and politics.Importantly, this book explains how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles originates in western art production and can obscure other critical approaches, as well as art from non western cultures.ABOUT THE The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Richly illustrated, with every anatomical explanation shown in detail, it puts each concept into practice through sequences of drawings that show the intricacies of muscular and skeletal structure. Budding artists will visually grasp general concepts of anatomy and proportion; learn formulas for constructing the figure; travel part by part through the torso, arms, legs, head, hands and feet; and see how to depict lifelike movement and poses. Then, they can show off their new knowledge in several projects, including a male body drawn in colour pencil and a woman's back done in charcoal and sanguine.

L'Occident a longtemps vécu sur une image de la Grèce antique faussée par l'humanisme renaissant qui, projetant sur un passé lointain ses propres idéaux, en déformait le sens ou en limitait la portée. Depuis un siècle, archéologues, historiens et philosophes ont fait éclater cette notion d'une civilisation où tout aurait été régi par la perfection et le classicisme.Et, remontant aux sources crétoises, mycéniennes, doriennes, démontrer que sans elles le miracle grec n'aurait pas existé. Et donner à cette histoire une ampleur autres en la faisant courir du monde cycladique au monde hellénistique.Pour retrouver l'art grec dans toute sa plénitude, il aura fallu cesser de le voir à travers l'écran déformant des copies romaines, ce qui fut le cas jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. Comme aura été nécessaire toute une série de découvertes retentissantes, des fouilles de Schliemann en 1870 aux récentes trouvailles de Riace ou Derveni, qui permirent de retrouver les oeuvres majeures sans lesquelles l'art grec demeure incompréhensible ou mutilé.Des idoles cycladiques à la Vénus de Milo, de l'art géométrique aux formes visant à l'universel par leur conformité à un idéal où "l'homme est la mesure de toutes choses", des dieux aux philosophes, de la politique à l'histoire, toute la grande aventure grecque revit dans cet ouvrage qui renouvelle l'approche et la vision de l'art grec.
