It evaluates the central politics of appearance--the building of \"consumerism,\" the arrival of the 24-hour image-led world, the continuously changing methods of symbolic production, and the ongoing saturation of life by pictures and \"data.\" It reveals our guilty love affair with the imagery of violence, the true nature of the \"advertising\" dream world, and the power and pathos of screen time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten across four decades, these essays focus on a line of painting and sculpture that was thought from the start to be responsive to the new condition. One key feature of the emerging \"modern\" was the liberation of art and politics from their previous established positions. Politics increasingly became a separate form of life, no longer so firmly allied to Church and State. Art floated free, at least partially, from the sacred age-old deference to the powerful. What art and politics would turn out to be became a question in itself; for some, the question on which art's future depended.

Created when Germany was often governed by emergency decree, this image brazenly claimed to decide Europe's future--until the Nazis deemed it to be a threat to the German people. For South African artist William Kentridge, Beckmann exemplified \"art in a state of siege.\" Koerner shows how his work served as beacon during South Africa's racialist apartheid rule and inspired Kentridge's breakthrough animations of drawings being made, erased, and remade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpanning half a millennium but urgent today, \u003ci\u003eArt in a State of Siege\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how, in dire straits, art becomes the currency of last resort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Leo Koerner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 6.46w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691267210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Leo Koerner\u003c\/b\u003e is the Victor S.

In an essay critical of modern fashion and manufacture, Benjamin decries how new technology affects art. The notion of fine arts is threatened by an absence of scarcity; an affair which diminishes the authenticity and essence of the artist's work. Though the process of art replication dates to classical antiquity, only the modern era allows for a mass quantity of prints or mass production. Given that the unique aura of an artist's work, and the reaction it provokes in those who see it, is diminished, Benjamin posits that artwork is much more political in significance. The style of modern propaganda, of the use of art for the purpose of generating raw emotion or arousing belief, is likely to become more prevalent versus the old-fashioned production of simpler beauty or meaning in a cultural or religious context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Must Have Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774640074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Walter Benjamin \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47287740465309,"sku":"9781774640074","price":19.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_def71459-9e86-476f-8c86-95cc83ee1f55.jpg?v=1760047144"},{"product_id":"what-art-can-tell-us-about-love-9781399620963","title":"What Art Can Tell Us about Love","description":"\u003cb\u003eDiscover the love affairs that inspired art's greatest masterpieces. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether in the throes of passion, enduring the pain of unrequited love, or basking in the joy of a wonderfully supportive friendship, \u003ci\u003eWhat Art Can Tell Us About Love\u003c\/i\u003e explores the myriad ways love has influenced artists, shaped the work they created, and altered the course of art history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs of more than 70 artworks, this guide looks at how artists have painted, sketched and modelled their lovers - and how the theme of love has found its way into a broad range of works, from landscapes to still-life and self-portraits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Artists include: Caravaggio, Georgia O'Keeffe, Sarah Bernhardt, Picasso, Rembrandt, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, Clifford Prince-King, Chagall, Lotte Laserstein and Niki de Saint Phalle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Trend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 6.15w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399620963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Trend is a journalist and art historian.

Named for the vehicle favored by the New York City police, Gran Fury formed to summon a sense of collective indignation. The collective's innovative graphic design campaigns were mobilized in ACT UP demonstrations to awaken the public to the disdain, neglect and silence of Ronald Reagan's administration during the epidemic. The group produced posters, newspapers, stickers, photographs, videos and billboards that were circulated to transform perceptions about HIV\/AIDS, interrogate ineffective public policies and underreported government data, interrupt misconceptions disseminated by the media, confront the morality of religious institutions, and alleviate the stigma and discrimination faced by people living with HIV\/AIDS.

How unthinking, how stupid, they think, not realizing that the pattern has been repeated again and again in the past and will be in the future. We now recognize that the process is a continual one. Each past canon was established for good reason; there are no mistakes, there is only history. Many of the favored artists of any period including our own will drop from favor, something that art dealers never tell their clients, or museum curators their boards.\" Stebbins describes the taste and outlook of each generation through his extensive research on the critics, museum activities, and the art market of each era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn entire section of the book is devoted to some of the most important collectors of the 20th century. Rejecting the typical curator's role as a flatterer of collectors, Stebbins examines these collectors in depth for the first time, outlining their successes and failures and their quirky personalities. He takes a hard look at the warring brothers, Sterling and Steven C. Clark; the inhibited Grenville Winthrop who left over 4,000 works to Harvard; Maxim Karolik, the gifted Ukrainian Jew who miraculously created a new canon during the Second World War; and, more recently, the enormously wealthy Alice Walton who built a new, ambitious museum of American Art in Arkansas. Of special interest is the author's explanation of the rise and fall of American Impressionism and of the role played by the New Yorkers Raymond and Margaret Horowitz in this development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis important volume concludes with several chapters devoted to the aesthetic standards that came to dominate the art world in recent years. At their core is a new emphasis on diversity, and a greatly expanded effort to showcase Black and women artists. Nearly every museum with collections of American art took this direction. Stebbins describes the successes and failures of many of these museums' efforts to reinstall their collections and redefine their audiences, from the Met and the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the East Coast, to Houston and San Francisco. Most importantly, he explores the question of whether the old ideal of seeking quality in art needs to be sacrificed to the aim of diversity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author, Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., was in the center of every development in American art collecting and exhibitions from the 1960s to well into the 2000s, as curator of American art at the Yale University Art Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Harvard Art Museum. He is the author of twenty-five books on nearly every important American painter starting with Copley. Stebbins is uniquely able to put recent shifts in the canon within the context of regular, generational shifts in taste that tell us much about the value that is placed on art--including who decides what matters and why. In this book, he presents a new way of looking at American art, and he doesn't pull his punches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProfusely illustrated, deeply informed, fascinating and controversial, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eRethinking American Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable for those seeking an understanding of American art and art collecting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore E.

Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions--including solitary confinement--these artists find ways to resist the brutality and depravity that prisons engender.

This thought--provoking work by a singular voice invites readers to critically reconsider power, ideology, and the boundaries of free speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ai Weiwei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500030820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeiwei, Ai:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAi Weiwei\u003c\/strong\u003e (b. 1957, Beijing) is renowned for making strong aesthetic statements that resonate with timely phenomena across today's geopolitical world.

Sites and artworks such as Colonial Williamsburg, the Winterthur Museum, the Index of American Design, and Narcissa Niblack Thorne's miniature period rooms created immersive fantasies of the past in which visitors seemed to have direct contact with the look and feel of history.

H. Wells examines the ways that colonial revival design produced new racial identifications in which the nation's European immigrant communities and \"old stock\" Americans transformed from being seen as individual groups differentiated by region, ethnicity, and class to a White race with shared ties to early American history. Drawing on an astonishing breadth of archival sources--including letters from designers and audiences, working drawings and documentary photographs, government and corporate reports, magazine articles and newspaper reviews, and exhibition catalogues and guidebooks--Wells offers a revelatory look at how the affective dimensions of visual and material cultures in colonial revival design contributed to the making of twentieth-century American whiteness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
