Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ.; Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans, such as paganism, licentiousness, greed, gluttony, and violence.

Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy, as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 256 pages; Oversized. …

Zustand: Sehr gut. 264 Seiten, zahlr. Abb. Very good, almost perfect copy. - / The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection explores the modern reception of Pompeii and the other ancient sites destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Rather than windows to the daily lives of ancient Romans, these sites have served as mirrors of a shifting present. Through cultural appropriation and projection, artists have made the ancient catastrophe their own expressing contemporary concerns in diverse media-from paintings, prints, and sculpture, to theatrical performances, photography, and film. This lavishly illustrated volume examines the legacy of Pompeii the modern imagination featuring the works of artists such as Piranesi, Fragonard. Kaufmann Chasseriau, and Alma-Tadema, as well as Duchamp, Dali, Rothko, Rauschenberg, and Warhol. / Contents: Foreword -- DAVID FRANKLIN TIMOTHY POTTS -- Acknowledgments Lenders to the Exhibition -- Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection -- JON L.
