English Embroidery in the Metropolitan Museum 1580-1700: 'Twixt Art and Nature (Published in Association with the Bard Graduate Centre for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design and Culture)


This was an expensive book that I ummed and aahed about purchasing. But on receiving it, I could see what the fuss was all about. Many textiley, embroidery people are very visual people, and I was thrilled to see the quantity and quality of colour photos in this book. Some of them are very close-up so that you can see wonderful details in the embroidery. I still haven't actually read the text - but that's not why I bought it! The photos just enthrall me.

English Embroidery in the Metropolitan Museum 1580-1700: \'Twixt Art and Nature (Published in Association with the Bard Graduate Centre for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design and Culture)

Product Description:

This book centers around the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s preeminent collection of embroidered objects from England’s late Tudor and Stuart eras. These seventeenth-century embroideries, some eighty works in all, include samplers, gloves, headgear, purses, raised work panels, boxes and mirrors, portrait miniatures, lavishly embroidered Bibles, and a spectacular burse made to hold the Great Seal of England. In a series of essays the book explores the important role of embroidery in the history of textiles and decorative arts and also offers new insight into the role of women in the production of decorative arts. Expert scholars discuss embroidered furnishings, fashion accessories, biblical narratives, and pastoral imagery, to create a superb and comprehensive overview of embroidery during this tumultuous period in English history.

My Laocoon: Alternative Claims in the Interpretation of Artworks (California Studies in the History of Art Discovery Series)


My Laocoon: Alternative Claims in the Interpretation of Artworks (California Studies in the History of Art Discovery Series)

Product Description:
Analyzing the theme, provenance, and history of the Vatican Laocon, Richard Brilliant traces the interpretation of this masterpiece of Greco-Roman sculpture through the ages, showing how these interpretations have shaped its reception. The Vatican Laocon has suffered the vicissitudes of changing tastes, differing agendas of incompatible interpretations, and relegation to the margins of aesthetic preference. Several Laocons are identified in this erudite and strikingly original study: the alleged, lost "Greek original" the extant marbles sculpted in the first century; the sixteenth-century restoration and its impact; the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century topos of critical judgment; the twentieth-century re-restored artifact of ancient art. Yet, the Vatican Laocon contains all of them in its obdurate self, and My Laocon treats their history as a means of demonstrating an artwork's power to transcend its critical reception.

Customer Reviews


Okay!
This book is okay! It has given me tons of great ideas! Personally, I enjoy the History Alive (TCI) series better, but this one has been interesting also. I'm in the beginning stages of my teaching career and am finishing up my second student teaching internship. This book has been helpful on occassion.
