Condition: NUOVO. Firenze, Pontecorboli Editore cm.14,5x21, pp.88, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. This elusive monument is classic, early Christian, Byzantine, Lombard or Romanesque? Is it really an ideal model of perfect unity or has been transformed in several times? And moreover: it's born as a true baptistery or perhaps it was once a 'Temple of Mars'? Although studied for centuries in every aspect by a crowd of scholars and historians, the topic of the origins of the Florentine Baptistery of San Giovanni remains debated and obscure, since the authors are divided between those who believe it ancient and those who medieval. Thus, being it still not related with certainty to a specific historical context, the «bel San Giovanni» loved by Dante does not find a ascertained and firm placement in the texts, and it is not even clear the role it played in the birth of the Florentine Renaissance. This book tries to give an answer to the lasting problem in a synthetic view that resumes documents and researches, pointing most of all to what the architecture suggests.…

Hardcover. Black paper boards, black DJ with color illustration. 510 pp. Illustrated mostly in color. Essays by Nancy G. Heller, Percy North, J. Susan Isaacs, Herbert L. Kessler, Angelo Pontecorboli, Fred Lazarus IV, Tom Haulk, Amalie R. Rothschild. "The artist Amalie Rothschild (1916-2001) lived and worked her entire life in Baltimore, Maryland. During her six-and-a-half decade career she made significant contributions to the cultural and artistic environment of the city and local area. She is best known as a painter and sculptor working in a variety of materials including Plexiglas, aluminum, bronze, bark, handmade cast paper, and particle board, as well as oil, acrylic, and watercolor. Her oeuvre encompasses the dramatic range of style, media and message that characterized the questing spirit of the best of 20th-century art. Her work also explores the challenges faced by a creative woman in an era of major social change. Her output, despite its often abstract geometric appearance, was frequently self-referential and regularly dealt with the issues of balancing the duties of wife and mother with the strivings of the artist, while at the same time paying homage to historical themes. The book, a practical "portable museum" of her most significant creations, makes her varied artistic output available to a wider public.--Publisher.

The book, a practical "portable museum" of her most significant creations, makes her varied artistic output available to a wider public. As contributor Nancy G. Heller observes: "Amalie Rosenfeld Rothschild appeared on the American art scene at a challenging time. She was a woman, when artists were supposed to be male; she was American, at a time when important art was still expected to come from Europe; and she lived in Baltimore-which, while hardly a cultural backwater, was not New York City, then regarded as the center of art in the U.S.Over the course of six and a half decades she managed to surmount traditional prejudices-about the abilities, rights, and obligations of American women; about commercial vs. fine art; about artists who constantly explore new ways to express themselves; about people who live outside New York City; and about the validity of supposedly-serious art that also dares to be funny.".…
