Art Historian - HOME   Art Historian The Survival of Images: Art Historians, Psychoanalysts, and the Ancients by Louis Rose, The twentieth century seemed destined, according to one art historian, to become not an age of reason, but a visual age in which images would afford more enlightenment and intellectual pleasure than the written or spoken word. Writing in 1948, Fritz Saxl was referring not only to the rise of cinematic art, but also to a major transformation in the way his predecessors had begun to view culture in general -- as a process of image-making.

Ancient Historian - HOME   Ancient Historian Cahuachi in the Ancient Nasca World by Helaine Silverman, Ever since its scientific discovery, the great Nasca site of Cahuachi on the south coast of the Central Andes has captured the attention of archaeologists, art historians, and the general public. Until Helaine Silverman's fieldwork, however, ancient Nasca culture was seen as an archaeological construct devoid of societal content. Silverman's long-term, multistage research as published in this volume reconstructs Nasca society and contextualizes the traces of this brilliant civilization (ca. 200 B.C.-A.D. 600). Silverman shows ...

The Historian Craft - HOME   The Historian Craft The Crafts in Britain in the 20th Century by Tanya Harrod, From ceramics to silversmithing, calligraphy to textiles, hot glass to bookbinding, crafts have played a rich and complex role in the social, cultural, and artistic history of twentieth-century Britain. This all-encompassing book is the first to survey the full range of individual craft disciplines and key practitioners from the pre-World War I years of the Arts and Crafts Movement to the 1990s. Tanya Harrod shows how the crafts movement emerged in response to generalized anxiety about the production, commodification, and consumption of objects in a highly industrialized society. Caught between the more powerful disciplines of fine art, architecture, and design for ...

James Luce, The Greeks invented history as a literary genre in the fifth century B.C.: the first historians owing much to Homer and adopting his vivid and direct style in narrating historical events. Despite the influence of Homer, however, the birth of history was fundamentally a reaction against mythical accounts of the past. Homer wrote about war and travel in foreign lands, in the distant and mythical past; in contrast, the Greek historians of the fifth century wrote about contemporary or very recent ...
