Hardback. Jules Lubbock, Yale University Press. How do countries acquire their distinctive features and appearance, their look or style? In this stimulating book, Jules Lubbock answers this question by focusing on Britain, with its characteristic terraced houses, Georgian squares, postwar slab blocks, and Victorian floral ornamentation. Lubbock traces the fierce debates over consumerism, good design, and town planning that have raged in Britain since the Elizabethan period, investigating how the design of buildings and possessions-domestic as well as official-becomes an issue of public policy and controversy. Lubbock discusses the ideas, policies, and motivations of designers and commentators from 1550 to the present, including such figures as Charles I, Inigo Jones, Joseph Addison, Pope, Hogarth, Pugin, Dickens, Ruskin, and Le Corbusier. He describes the growing public awareness that taste and beauty are related to economic growth, that there is what he calls a political economy of design. He shows, for example, that London was shaped by a desire to control its expansion in order to maintain social stability in the face of the developing industrial and commercial revolution; that Puritans believed that the high consumption of luxury goods essential to prosperity could be made morally acceptable through good design; and that the court of James I consciously adopted classicism as the appropriate style for the newly joined kingdoms of England and Scotland. Lubbock shows the different ways in which architecture, design, planning, and style were believed to contribute to a "Good Society." He suggests that the political economy of design was not only viable in the past but can also provide an essential framework for the future. Hardback.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A new examination of Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Good and Bad Government through the lens of the Hymn to Justice. In 1338 Ambrogio Lorenzetti painted three huge frescoes, known today as Good and Bad Government, on the walls of the Sala dei Nove, the Room of the Nine, in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, where the city's nine executive magistrates presided over the destiny of this famous commune. The frescoes were meant to be strong visual reminders of the Nove's duties and an admonishment of the nefarious effects of bad government. Boasting the largest artist's signature of all time, the frescoes are a testament to the extremely high esteem in which Ambrogio's art was held by his fellow citizens. Good and Bad Government has become one of the most widely reproduced works of the early Renaissance and is recognised for its many innovations, including the first European panorama of a cityscape and countryside. But what sort of visual journey was Ambrogio asking the Nove to make through this expanse? In pursuit of an elusive answer, the murals have become one of art's great puzzles, challenging scholars and the public. Scant attention, however, has been paid to the images themselves. They have been studied merely as symbols and allegories of abstract political concepts in which good and bad governments are juxtaposed. Despite his enormous signature, Ambrogio has been treated more as a servile illustrator than a creative artist, disregarding his highly personal approach to painting and the way his visual ingenuity, from composition to brushwork, shaped a far more complex and fascinating message. This book sheds new light on one of the most important artworks of the early Italian Renaissance, Ambrogio Lorenzetti's fresco cycle of Good and Bad Government in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena.
