    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A cherished erotic play by Federico Garcia Lorca, illustrated by a major Spanish artist. Painting, poetry, and music come together in Zobel Reads Lorca, as Fernando Zobel, a Harvard student who would become one of Spains most famous painters, translates and illustrates Federico Garcia Lorcas haunting play about the wounds of love. The premiere of Amor de Don Perlimplin con Belisa en su jardin, an erotic allelujia which Lorca once called his most cherished play, was shut down in 1928 by Spanish government censors who confiscated the manuscript and locked it away in the pornography section of a state archive. Lorca rewrote the work in New York, and an amateur theater group brought it to the Spanish stage a few years later. Since his death, the play has also been transformed into ballet and opera. Zobel Reads Lorca presents Zobels previously unpublished translation and features contextual essays from several scholars. Art historian Felipe Pereda studies Lorca in the context of Zobels development as a painter, Luis Fernandez Cifuentes describes the precarious and much-debated state of the humanities in Zobels Harvard and throughout the United States in the 1940s, and Christopher Maurer delves into musical and visual aspects of the plays American productions. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Zóbel, Fernando (illustrator).…

    Tapa blanda. Condition: New. En el año aproximado de 1528, un escultor florentino llamado Pietro Torrigiano encontró su final en las cárceles de Sevilla. Aunque el motivo exacto de su condena y ejecución a manos del Santo Oficio sigue siendo un misterio, se le atribuyó una peculiar acusación, la de haber destruido con sus propias manos una escultura de barro de la Virgen María. Torrigiano la habría realizado para un importante noble local que, incapaz de apreciar el valor de su arte, le habría pagado el salario de un simple artesano. El trágico rumor de su muerte solo sirvió para alimentar la leyenda de un escultor que había abandonado su ciudad natal hacía veinticinco años, poco después de un altercado con el mismísimo Miguel Ángel Buonarroti, enrolándose después como mercenario en las guerras de Italia y finalmente buscando fortuna como escultor en la lejana Inglaterra. Este volumen, la primera monografía dedicada a la obra de Torrigiano, traza un viaje cautivador a través de las cuatro ciudades que moldearon su destino: Florencia, Roma, Londres y Sevilla. En sus páginas se reconstruye la relación entre su vida errante y su ambiciosa personalidad artística, ofreciendo una nueva lectura de la obra del legendario imaginero.…

    Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El arte español del Siglo de Oro afirma una tradición historiográfica ya centenaria puso la imitación del natural al servicio de la religión. Su exacerbado naturalismo es el resultado de la apasionada fe de aquel lugar en aquella época. Crimen e Ilusión defiende lo contrario: sostiene que el problema fundamental de los artistas del Barroco español no era la imitación, sino la verdad, y que una parte, tal vez la mejor parte, de la imaginería de nuestro Barroco se entiende mejor como un complejo ejercicio destinado a disipar las dudas de sus espectadores. Sobre el horizonte de un emergente empirismo, los artistas crearon sus imágenes como evidencias, como argumentos para creer. Crimen e ilusión aborda este aspecto judicial o forense de las imágenes de la Alta Edad Moderna en el interior de un triángulo político, religioso y científico. Por último, explora la reflexión escéptica de pintores y escultores ante el problemático vínculo que liga a las artes figurativas con la verdad. ÍNDICE: AGRADECIMIENTOS. -PREFACIO.

    Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Sangre y leche fueron símbolos omnipresentes en los territorios de la Monarquía Católica , en España y su Imperio colonial. Situados a medio camino entre la naturaleza y la cultura, a lo largo de las edades Media y Moderna, la sangre y la leche tejieron una poderosa analogía entre la reproducción fisiológica y la reproducción cultural. Como exploran los artículos de este libro, estos símbolos desempeñaron un papel determinante en los procesos de ordenación, jerarquización, y por supuesto también, de exclusión social dentro de la monarquía. Partiendo de perspectivas tan diversas como la religiosa, la social, la jurídica o la antropológica, los autores de este libro analizan esta privilegiada encrucijada simbólica para interrogarse sobre el origen y desarrollo del discurso de la raza en la España altomoderna. LIBRO.…

    Hardback. Condition: New. Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano has long held a place in the public imagination as the man who broke Michelangelo's nose. Indeed, he is known more for that story than for his impressive prowess as an artist. This engagingly written and deeply researched study by Felipe Pereda, a leading expert in the field, teases apart legend and history and reconstructs Torrigiano's work as an artist. Torrigiano was, in fact, one of the most fascinating characters of the sixteenth century. After fighting in the Italian wars under Cesare Borgia, the Florentine artist traveled across four countries, working for such patrons as Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands and the Tudors in England. Toriggiano later went to Spain, where he died in prison, accused of heresy by the Inquisition for breaking a sculpture of the Virgin and Child that he had made with his own hands. In the course of his travels, Torrigiano played a crucial role in the dissemination of the style and the techniques that he learned in Florence, and he interacted with local artisanal traditions and craftsmen, developing a singular terracotta modeling technique that is both a response to the authority of Michelangelo and a unique testimony to artists' mobility in the period.As Pereda shows, Torrigiano's life and work constitute an ideal example to rethink the geography of Renaissance art, challenging us to reconsider the model that still sees the Renaissance as expanding from an Italian center into the western periphery.…
