Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Visual arts in Britain between 1550 and 1650 have long been considered part of the classical Italian Renaissance canon. Now a distinguished group of scholars demonstrates that attitudes to classical art were in fact somewhat ambivalent during this period in Britain (or, as it is called poetically, Albion). For town halls and funeral monuments, for paintings and theatrical works, British artists, patrons, and builders made informed choices from the classical vocabulary while continuing to work within systems and circumstances quite distinct from those of classicism. The authors focus on the ways that local influences, habits, and visual sensibilities interacted with classicism and the work and methods of such masters as Inigo Jones in the evolution of British art, architecture, and literature in this era. Introduced and edited by Lucy Gent, this handsome book was written by contributors who come from the fields of history, art and architectural history, literary criticism, and emblematics. The book consists of essays by Lisa Jardine, Maurice Howard, Deborah Howard, Michael Bath, Paula Henderson, Nigel Llewellyn, Susan Foister, Margaret Aston, Keith Thomas, Christy Anderson, Ellen Chirelstein, Thomas Greene, Sasha Roberts, Alice Friedman, Gloria Kury, and Catherine Belsey. viii, 470 p. : ill. ; 27 cm.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good Plus. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Plus. Wyndham Lewis (illustrator). First Edition. 2000. 584pp . Illustrations in colour and b&w. "Equally talented as a writer and painter, Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) was one of the most innovative and controversial artistic figures of twentieth-century Britain, renowned as the driving force behind Vorticism, the avant-garde movement that flourished in London before the First World War. This book?the first critical overview of the visual, literary, and philosophical dimensions of Lewis's works?is also the first study to consider them as an integrated whole. Lewis the painter was an early pioneer of abstraction, and as a war artist he adopted the vocabulary of Vorticism to convey the grim struggle of the Western Front. For the rest of his career he moved at will between abstraction and representation in imaginative works, incisive life drawings, quasi-metaphysical history paintings, and portraits (most famously of the other "Men of 1914," Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and T. S. Eliot). As a writer, Lewis produced abrasive satirical novels, short stories, and "theological fantasies" as well as powerful cultural and political analyses. Through detailed but accessible commentary Paul Edwards traces a coherent pattern in Lewis's bafflingly diverse work and shows its centrality to a full understanding of Modernism. He also discusses Lewis's Fascist sympathies in the 1930s, his dissociation from Fascism after 1937, his self-imposed exile in Canada during the Second World War, and the radical reevaluation of his life and intellectual commitments in his final novels." Book and unclipped dust jacket are both in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Georgian architecture had its roots in the Great Fire of London of 1666. Out of that disaster grew the need for rapid redevelopment, which was accomplished through standardisation and the relaxation of restrictive practices in the building trades. This book investigates the decline in the crafted buildings of the client economies of the past and the introduction of the mass produced components which characterised an emerging consumerism. It is an approach that offers fresh insights into our architectural heritage by focusing on the traditions and innovations in the building methods of the time - the construction processes, the role of the building craftsmen, and the tools and materials they used. vii, 280 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 30 cm. First edition, first printing. Brown cloth boards, unclipped dust jacket (now in a removable protective sleeve). Slight shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, spine faded, tight and square binding.

Vollständige Ausgabe im original Verlagseinband: schwarzer Festeinband gr.8vo im Format 23 x 29 cm mit Rückentitel sowie dem farbfotoillustriertem Original-Schutzumschlag. 220 Seiten, zweispaltiger Druck, mit sehr vielen Fotoabbildungen auf Kunstdruckpapier und farbig bebilderten Vorsätzen. - In diesem bahnbrechenden Band werden die bisherigen Annahmen über einen der größten und einflussreichsten klassischen Architekten Englands auf den Kopf gestellt. Bislang wurde Inigo Jones in der europäischen Architektur als isolierte, ja sogar altmodische Figur betrachtet, die immer noch die palladianischen Ideale des 16. Jahrhunderts vertrat, als sich die europäischen Zeitgenossen bereits dem Barock zuwandten. Eine Untersuchung der zeitgenössischen europäischen Architektur und der Bauten von Jones widerlegt diesen Eindruck und zeigt, daß er im Kontext einer europaweiten klassizistischen Bewegung des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts gesehen werden muss. Giles Worsley untersucht die gesamte Bandbreite von Jones` Architektur - vom einfachen Stall bis zum Königspalast - und zeigt, daß Schlüsselmotive, die als Beweis für Jones` palladianische Nachahmung angesehen wurden, insbesondere Serliana, Portikus und Zentralvilla - eine viel ältere und tiefere Bedeutung als Symbole der Souveränität haben.
