9783791379654 - The Sun: the Source of Light in Art by Edited by Ortrud Westheider; Michael Philipp; Daniel Zamani (32 results)

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Als Quell von Licht und Wärme und damit als Ursprung des Lebens war die Sonne seit den frühesten dokumentierten Kulturen unmittelbarer Bezugspunkt religiöser und mythologischer Vorstellungen. Sie spielt als Zeichen oder Personifizierung göttlicher Mächte, als handlungstreibendes Element in mythologischen Erzählungen, als Stimmungsträger in Landschaftsgemälden und als Grundlage für die Intensivierung der Farbe in der Malerei der klassischen Moderne eine zentrale Rolle in der europäischen Kunst. Die Publikation widmet sich der Darstellung der Sonne von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart. Ausgehend von Claude Monets legendärem Gemälde Impression, Sonnenaufgang von 1872, das dem Impressionismus seinen Namen gab, wird die Ikonographie der Sonnendarstellung erstmals umfassend und anhand zahlreicher Beispiele eingehend untersucht. (Text englisch). 288 pp. Englisch.

Published in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Monet's 1872 painting, Sunrise, this unique and illuminating exhibition catalog reaches throughout history to explore how artist have incorporated the sun as a reference point and as inspiration in their art. For as long as humans have been making art, they have turned to the sun as the source of light, warmth and life itself. It appears as a symbol of limitless power, as the personification of gods and of Christ, and as a harbinger of change. Artists have also used the sun as a means of exploring light and color and as an entree into discussions about climate. The first of its kind, this catalog investigates visual representations of the sun from antiquity to the present day. It is divided into seven roughly chronological sections that look at both epoch-spanning and period specific examples, including symbolic, allegorical representations, the iconography of mythological subjects, and mimetic qualities such as typology, phenomenology, and emotional effect. It includes more than two hundred stunning reproductions of well- and lesser-known works. Incisive and enlightening texts explore how solar symbolism figured in pre-Christian objects through 17th-century depictions of the "Sun King" Louix XIV; how artists such as Rubens and Monet employed the sun in their narrative paintings; how the Impressionists first investigated the sun's effects on a landscape; how Neo-Impressionist such as Seurat experimented with color based on the Newtonian analysis of the solar spectrum; and how 20th-century artists incorporated a broad array of abstract, surrealistic, and transformative modes of solar representation into a variety of media.
