Theodore Zeldin is that rare person, a genuine intellectual who none the less understands the mass media and who possesses the curiosity to connect with and elucidate ordinary people s lives. Conversation brings his central theme that conversation is essential to our development as civilised human beings into sharp focus. Born out of the huge listener response to his lecture series on Radio 4, this unique manifesto alters our perceptions and practices of conversation. It is both a sourcebook of ideas about what conversation is and a provocative manual or game for improving how we talk to one another. Illustrated with Zeldin s own distinctive and original paintings, which provide a commentary on his theme, Conversation is a fascinating insight into human behaviour from a wise and charming observer. It demonstrates, in an accessible way, the means by which just talking and listening to others can improve our lives.

Natl Gallery Pubns 2013, cm.21x27, pp.80, brossura, copertina figurata a colori. Edizione inglese. Johannes Vermeer (1632?1675) is one of the world?s most captivating artists. Renowned for his sublimely beautiful depictions of everyday Dutch life, Vermeer created exquisite paintings that are sought out by any art lover. Music was a key facet of 17th-century Dutch life, in both public and private. Of Vermeer?s thirty-six surviving paintings, twelve depict musical themes or a musical instrument. These include the magnificent Young Woman Standing at a Virginal, Young Woman Seated at a Virginal, The Music Lesson, and The Guitar Player, all featured in this book. The book also includes paintings by Vermeer?s contemporaries, such as Gerard ter Borch (1617?1681), Gabriel Metsu (1629?1667), and Jan Steen (c. 1626?1679). Vermeer and Music provides new insight into the cultural significance of these images. A historical overview of musical instruments and entertainment in the Dutch Republic, including the abundant publication of songbooks filled with love songs and poems, some richly illustrated, contextualizes the fascinating relationship between music and the visual arts.

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press 1968, cm.15x23, pp.212, 8 tavole bianco e nero fuori testo, legatura editoriale, sopraccoperta figurata. Testo in inglese. The Age of Gold was one of the so-called 'commonplaces' inherited by the Renaissance from classical antiquity, a myth (taking many different forms) telling of an era of human happiness without war or want. Most writers used it as a convenient device, predicting its return as an age of peace and plenty upon the accession of a ruler or the signing of a treaty: others moralized it as a reformed or spiritually regenerated society. Elizabeth Armstrong's search for an answer to this question has entailed a study of a wide range of possible influences, classical, medieval and contemporary, and an examination of neglected areas of Ronsard's own vast literary output. Most of all an explanation is sought in his temperament and tastes, which made the theme of the Age of Gold at one period in his life a welcome vehicle for poetry expressing his love of freedom and his sensibility to untouched nature.

Testo Inglese. This book devoted to the still life is without doubt different to many others that have preceded it. It has not been subdivided on the basis of schools or eras, but rather thematic groups and many of the pictures included here are previously unpublished. The pleasing of the senses is common to the numerous still-lifes analysed: we have chosen to present the details of the paintings in full page reproductions so as to draw attention to the values of Sight, Touch, Hearing, Taste and Smell. Although the author has previously highlighted the difficulties inherent in attributing Italian still lifes in a book published in 1992, almost all the paintings presented here have found their correct paternity. 'The characters have found their author.' In the section dedicated to The Rediscovery of Nature, Spike works on the principle that for the artists of the late sixteenth century such as Caravaggio (the heirs to Leonardo) 'picturing the world meant penetrating its inner workings.' In the section dedicated to The Flavors of Nature, the author presents paintings depicting 'kitchens, markets and sideboards laden with fresh game and fish:' the painter also paints to whet the appetite. In the section Nature in Flower, Spike instead notes that "the evanescent beauty of flowers has fascinated humanity throughout the ages," a fascination leading, in a parascientific key, to the production of illustrated herbals that are the direct predecessors of many still lifes. In the section Nature's Harvest, Spike considers the problems of the seasons and how the painting that represents flowers and fruits refers to a precise moment in the year, almost as if it were a snapshot.

A cura di Arturo Carlo Quintavalle e Gloria Bianchino.

L'opera di Gastone Biggi (1925-2014), artista singolare e significativo nella storia della pittura dal dopoguerra a oggi. Curato da Arturo Carlo Quintavalle e Gloria Bianchino, il catalogo ragionato delle opere di Gastone Biggi mette in evidenza l'importanza dell'artista e a ricostruirne il ricco, complesso percorso storico. Dal realismo e dall'Informale, al dialogo approfondito con Paul Klee e con Vasilij Kandinskij, infine all'incontro con l'Abstract Expressionism americano, da Kline a Pollock, da Tobey a Cy Twombly, Biggi è stato un consapevole mediatore fra la cultura europea e statunitense. Il catalogo delle opere comprende circa 4000 dipinti dagli inizi al 2014, sui 6000 realizzati dall'artista ma in parte da lui distrutti; a questi pezzi si aggiunge un saggio delle tempere e dei disegni. Nel catalogo vengono presentati in ordine cronologico i diversi cicli, tutti analiticamente schedati e preceduti da una scheda specifica. Al catalogo si aggiunge un'ampia selezione critica dei testi dei maggiori studiosi che hanno scritto di Gastone Biggi e una antologia di testi di dello stesso artista, la cui consapevolezza della propria e delle altrui ricerche è ben nota.
