Pre-Columbian Maya Graffiti: Contex, Dating and Function Alter

Historia AmerykiKultura. Cywilizacja. EtnografiaWydawnictwa naukowe i popularno-naukowe

Graffiti have always been a popular means of expression for people from different social strata in ancient as well as modern societies. They constitute a rich source of information on both the daily life and religious activities of the people who created them. Although ancient graffiti are mostly known from the Old World, especially from the Roman Empire or Egypt, they were also very popular in the pre-Columbian world. Ancient Maya civilisation, which once thrived in the rainforests of Mexico and Central America, has an extremely extensive corpus of graffiti. Many Maya sites have graffiti of various types, including inscribed, painted, gouged, impressed and sketched with charcoal. Maya graffiti were usually executed on the plaster surfaces of architectural buildings: chiefly on walls, vaults, floors, as well as benches and other architectural elements. Most examples are figural images that usually represent people, animals, architectural buildings and geometrical designs. They may also depict supernatural beings, symbolic and religious objects and many other subjects, usually related to the socio-political and religious lives of the Maya elites.Despite architectural graffiti being broadly present in various Maya sites, they remain a relatively rarely studied phenomenon. Little interest has been shown in this kind of art and Maya graffiti tend to be published as minor appendices to larger archaeological reports. Moreover, in the case of many Maya sites, the graffiti were not even documented or recorded. This attitude of sidelining Maya graffiti stemmed from the fact that many scholars considered graffiti to be trivial scribbles or the inconsequential work of the Postclassic or Colonial populations squatting in Maya palaces and temples after they had been abandoned by their original inhabitants. Such long held views in the field are changing; recent studies by various scholars have shown that the meaning of graffiti is far more complex and sophisticated than previously thought. The current view is that graffiti were made by various authors in different periods of time and by people representing different social groups. This book constitutes a comprehensive treatment of the subject of graffiti and provides comparative iconographic data on graffiti from various Maya sites. It also has ample and up-to-date information about graffiti, including its dating, meaning, techniques of rendition and function. Jarosław Źrałka is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland. He specialises in Mesoamerican archaeology with a special focus on the ancient Maya. He has been working as an archaeologist in Central America for more than 10 years. Since 2006 he has been co-directing a regional project (Nakum Archaeological Project) in the Maya site of Nakum, located in north-eastern Guatemala. His publications include a book Terminal Classic Occupation in the Maya Sites Located in the Area of Triangulo Park, Peten, Guatemala (2008).

Science and Art ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Science and art are increasingly interconnected in the activities of the study and conservation of works of art. Science plays a key role in cultural heritage, from developing new analytical techniques for studying the art, to investigating new ways of preserving the materials for the future. For example, high resolution multispectral examination of paintings allows art historians to view underdrawings barely visible before, while the use of non-invasive and micro-sampling analytical techniques allow scientists to identify pigments and binders that help art conservators in their work. It also allows curators to understand more about how the artwork was originally painted. Through a series of case studies written by scientists together with art historians, archaeologists and conservators, Science and Art: The Painted Surface demonstrates how the cooperation between science and humanities can lead to an increased understanding of the history of art and to better techniques in conservation.The examples used in the book cover paintings from ancient history, Renaissance, modern, and contemporary art, belonging to the artistic expressions of world regions from the Far East to America and Europe. Topics covered include the study of polychrome surfaces from pre-Columbian and medieval manuscripts, the revelation of hidden images below the surface of Van Gogh paintings and conservation of acrylic paints in contemporary art. Presented in an easily readable form for a large audience, the book guides readers into new areas uncovered by the link between science and art. The book features contributions from leading institutions across the globe including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Getty Conservation Institute; Opificio delle Pietre Dure, Firenze; National Gallery of London; Tate Britain; Warsaw Academy of Fine Art and the National Gallery of Denmark as well as a chapter covering the Thangka paintings by Nobel Prize winner Richard Ernst.

Josef Albers. Interaction König, Walther

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The effect of colour in the work of Josef Albers is powerful and unmistakable. Line, colour, area and space all interact with one another, challenging the viewer's perception. Albers' series "Homage to the Square" became the hallmark of the pioneering artist, teacher, art theorist and driving force.The catalogue presents the main works from his multifaceted oeuvre. Josef Albers investigated colour in all its artistic dimensions. He wanted to think colour, tried to determine its weight, discussed its ever-changing faces and the loss of all certainty with his students: "Only appearances are not deceiving", he wrote.Albers represents an art that learned a new way of seeing. The catalogue begins with his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau and spans a long creative career, including major moments in America: encounters with Mexico and the "Homage to the Square" series. Paintings, prints, furniture, everyday objects, works in glass, photographs and pre-Columbian sculptures are all shown. The juxtaposition of Renaissance sculptures and icons with paintings by Albers underlines the intellectual and spiritual dimension of his art. The effect of Albers on 1960s American art, so-called Minimal Art, is also illuminated.Text: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Michael Beggs, Brenda Danilowitz, Charles Darwent, Donald Judd, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, Jeannette Redensek, Jerry Zeniuk u.a.

Maison Martin Margiela Rizzoli International Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Graduating from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction--a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliqued details--to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela's garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.

Michael Haneke University of Illinois Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this book, Peter Brunette analyzes the theatrical releases of Austrian film director Michael Haneke, including "The White Ribbon", winner of the 2009 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Perhaps best known for "Cache", "The Piano Teacher", and his remake of his own disturbing "Funny Games", Haneke has consistently challenged critics and film viewers to consider their own responsibility for what they watch when they seek to be "merely" entertained by such studio-produced Hollywood thrillers. Brunette highlights Haneke's brilliant use of uncompromising visual and aural techniques to express complex themes. His most recent films contain what has become his hallmark: a moment of violence or shock that is not intended to be exploitative, but that nevertheless goes beyond the conventional boundaries of most art cinema. Lauded for graphically revealing the powerful influence of contemporary media on social behaviour, his films offer a chilling critique of contemporary consumer society. Brunette discusses Haneke's major releases in English, French, and German, including the film that first brought him to international attention, Benny's Video.The first full-length study of Haneke's work in any language, this book also includes an interview with the director that explores his motivations and methods.
