Liana De Girolami Cheney, "Giorgio Vasari's Teachers: Sacred and Profane Art" English | 2007 | pages: 407 | ISBN: 0820488135 | PDF | 135,0 mb This book examines the artistic, cultural, and historical influence of Giorgio Vasari's teachers, mentors, and patrons on his sacred and profane paintings. As a Maniera artist, Vasari learns to admire and assimilate the art of the ancient masters. With the guidance of Dante's literary writings and Marsilio Ficino's Neoplatonic philosophy, Vasari reveals a moral and didactic vision in his art. Additionally, Vasari's artistic patronage is influenced by the political views of Niccolò Machiavelli. In the integration of both ancient art and myths with the didactic legacy of biblical figures and moral personifications, Vasari manifests his artistic theory and symbolism in his sacred and profane paintings.

David Powers, "Getting StartED with CSS" English | 2009 | pages: 563 | ISBN: 1430225432 | PDF | 18,3 mb Knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is essential for developing modern, attractive websites, but many beginners are put off by the need to learn about unfamiliar concepts, such as selectors, properties, and classes, before they can achieve anything. Getting StartED with CSS takes a practical approach by showing you how to use CSS in simple stages, starting by changing the default appearance of HTML tags to improve the look of text and links. It assumes no prior knowledge of CSS and avoids bombarding you with unnecessary technical details. At the same time, it explains all the main points and acts as a reference that you can come back to when you need to refresh your memory. More advanced concepts are introduced gradually, so that by the end of the book you'll have a solid understanding of all the main aspects of CSS. Particular attention is paid to avoiding the common pitfalls of beginners, enabling you to create websites that not only look good, but also are easy to maintain. Ellen J. Lippert, "George Ohr: Sophisticate and Rube" English | 2013 | pages: 207 | ISBN: 1617039012, 1617039020 | PDF | 33,5 mb The late nineteenth-century Biloxi potter, George Ohr, was considered an eccentric in his time but has emerged as a major figure in American art since the discovery of thousands of examples of his work in the 1960s. Currently, Ohr is celebrated as a solitary genius who foreshadowed modern art movements. While an intriguing narrative, this view offers a narrow understanding of the man and his work that has hindered serious consideration. Ernst Weiss, Joel Rotenberg, "Georg Letham: Physician and Murderer" English | 2010 | pages: 562 | ISBN: 0980033039 | PDF | 1,3 mb First published in 1931 and now appearing for the first time in English, Georg Letham: Physician and Murderer is a disquieting anatomy of a deviant mind in the tradition of Crime and Punishment. Letham, the treacherously unreliable narrator, is a depraved bacteriologist whose murder of his wife is, characteristically, both instinctual and premeditated. Convicted and exiled, he attempts to atone for his crimes through science, conceiving of the book we are reading as an empirical report on himself-whose ultimate purpose may be to substitute for a conscience. Yet Letham can neither understand nor master himself. His crimes are crimes of passion, and his passions remain more or less untouched by his reason-in fact they are constantly intruding on his "report," rigorous as it is intended to be. Both feverish and chilling, Georg Letham explores the limits of reason and the tensions between objectivity and subjectivity. Moving from an unnamed Central European city to arctic ice floes to a tropical island prison, this layered novel-with its often grotesquely comic tone and arresting images-invites us into the darkest chambers of the human psyche. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Steven Tester, "Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: Philosophical Writings" English | 2013 | pages: 226 | ISBN: 1438441967, 1438441975 | PDF | 3,1 mb The definitive scholarly edition of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg's philosophical aphorisms. Piers Pennington, Matthew Sperling, "Geoffrey Hill and his Contexts" English | 2011 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 3034301855 | PDF | 1,9 mb Geoffrey Hill is one of the most significant poets currently at work in the English language. The essays gathered in this book present a number of new contexts in which to explore a wide range of his writings, from the poems he wrote as an undergraduate to the recent volumes A Treatise of Civil Power (2007) and Collected Critical Writings (2008). Connections are made between the early and the later poetry, and between the poetry and the criticism, and archival materials are considered along with the published texts. The essays also make comparisons across disciplines, discussing Hill's work in relation to theology, philosophy and intellectual history, to literature from other languages, and to the other arts. In doing so, they cast fresh light upon Hill's dense, original and sometimes challenging writings, opening them up in new ways for all readers of his work.
