Every Object Tells A Story written by Oliver Hoare and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with Antiques & Collectibles categories.

This extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful book celebrates a lifetime of collecting passion. Oliver Hoare, one of London's most distinguished dealers, originally learnt his craft in the company of Bruce Chatwin. His love of the rare, the evocative, the seductive shines out from every stunning object in this collection and the stories that he teases out from them. No one could fail to be drawn into this gorgeous labyrinth. Published to coincide with an exhibition held in the magnificent settings of the Lavery Room in Sir John Millais's studio house in South Kensington, the book includes antiquities from the ancient and classical worlds; objects connected to shamanism, magic and alchemy; engravings by D rer, Hollar and Rembrandt; unusual paintings and textiles; and many curiosities Highlights include: the silver libation cup of M ngke Khan, grandson of Genghis and ruler of an empire that stretched from modern Bucharest to Peking, and Karachi to Novgorod; the apple from the Garden of Eden - a silver pomander belonging to the Stuart Kings, with bite marks, opening to reveal a silver skull; a Scythian (6-7th centuries BC) jade pendant of the endangered Saiga antelope, as finely carved as anything by Faberg ; a bronze Bacchus head from a tripod table belonging to the Emperor Augustus; a limestone bear carved in 3rd millenium BC Bactria. "The point of the exhibition, as its title announces, is to celebrate the fascinating, and often peculiar stories attached to works of art. The criterion for what is presented has little to do with the value of objects and therefore it differs from the more conventional 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. Nor does it reflect the current canon of what is seen as beautiful or culturally significant, although there are significant and beautiful works of art by anyone's standards. The catalogue is, hopefully, the work of a storyteller's art." Oliver Hoare

Il catalogo riproduce interamente la Suite 347, di proprietÃ di Bancaja di Valencia. Tutte le incisioni, appunto 347, realizzate da Picasso tra marzo e ottobre del 1968, rappresentano il "diario di bordo" di un uomo che "senza curarsi delle proprie ansie o di quelle profonde inquietudini che spesso cercava, portandole a galla, di esorcizzare," si apriva "alla percezione del mondo esterno, quel mondo che a un uomo di quasi 87 anni appariva folle, grottesco. Aveva visto ben altro!" La Suite Ã¨ composta da quattro grandi nuclei tematici: La Celestina, ovvero le stampe selezionate da Picasso per un'edizione della Celestina di Fernando de Rojas, pubblicata dall'atelier Crommelynck nel 1971; Picasso, la sua opera e il suo pubblico, una sorta di presentazione dei soggetti principali e di tutte le tecniche e gli stili utilizzati; Mitologia e circo, in cui affiorano la mitologia mediterranea e i tradizionali temi picassiani: il Don Chisciotte, i personaggi di Rembrandt, Raffaello, le mezzane ecc...; Il pittore e le modelle, incisioni che rimandano a temi della Suite Vollard e a quelli ripresi nella Suite 156 con Degas e Poussin nella parte di voyeur, i moschettieri e le donne rembrandtiane. Inoltre, il tema di Raffaello e la Fornarina, giÃ trattato da Ingres, viene affrontato da Picasso con maggiore ironia e malizia. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

The Middle Kingdom (ca. 2030–1650 B.C.) was a transformational period in ancient Egypt, during which older artistic conventions, cultural principles, religious beliefs, and political systems were revived and reimagined. Ancient Egypt Transformed presents a comprehensive picture of the art of the Middle Kingdom, arguably the least known of Egypt’s three kingdoms and yet one that saw the creation of powerful, compelling works rendered with great subtlety and sensitivity. The book brings together nearly 300 diverse works— including sculpture, relief decoration, stelae, jewelry, coffins, funerary objects, and personal possessions from the world’s leading collections of Egyptian art. Essays on architecture, statuary, tomb and temple relief decoration, and stele explore how Middle Kingdom artists adapted forms and iconography of the Old Kingdom, using existing conventions to create strikingly original works. Twelve lavishly illustrated chapters, each with a scholarly essay and entries on related objects, begin with discussions of the distinctive art that arose in the south during the early Middle Kingdom, the artistic developments that followed the return to Egypt’s traditional capital in the north, and the renewed construction of pyramid complexes. Thematic chapters devoted to the pharaoh, royal women, the court, and the vital role of family explore art created for different strata of Egyptian society, while others provide insight into Egypt’s expanding relations with foreign lands and the themes of Middle Kingdom literature. The era’s religious beliefs and practices, such as the pilgrimage to Abydos, are revealed through magnificent objects created for tombs, chapels, and temples. Finally, the book discusses Middle Kingdom archaeological sites, including excavations undertaken by the Metropolitan Museum over a number of decades. Written by an international team of respected Egyptologists and Middle Kingdom specialists, the text provides recent scholarship and fresh insights, making the book an authoritative resource.
