Photos available upon request.From the bestselling author of SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, the fascinating story of how images of Roman autocrats have influenced art, culture, and the representation of power for more than 2,000 yearsWhat does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore? In this bookagainst a background of today's "sculpture wars"Mary Beard tells the story of how for more than two millennia portraits of the rich, powerful, and famous in the western world have been shaped by the image of Roman emperors, especially the "Twelve Caesars," from the ruthless Julius Caesar to the fly-torturing Domitian. Twelve Caesars asks why these murderous autocrats have loomed so large in art from antiquity and the Renaissance to today, when hapless leaders are still caricatured as Neros fiddling while Rome burns.Beginning with the importance of imperial portraits in Roman politics, this richly illustrated book offers a tour through 2,000 years of art and cultural history, presenting a fresh look at works by artists from Memling and Mantegna to the nineteenth-century American sculptor Edmonia Lewis, as well as by generations of weavers, cabinetmakers, silversmiths, printers, and ceramicists. Rather than a story of a simple repetition of stable, blandly conservative images of imperial men and women, Twelve Caesars is an unexpected tale of changing identities, clueless or deliberate misidentifications, fakes, and often ambivalent representations of authority.From Beard's reconstruction of Titian's extraordinary lost Room of the Emperors to her reinterpretation of Henry VIII's famous Caesarian tapestries, Twelve Caesars includes fascinating detective work and offers a gripping story of some of the most challenging and disturbing portraits of power ever created.Published in association with the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, Princeton University Press, 2021, 6, Caracas: Museo de Bellas Artes, 2005. color plates, cat., indice, appen., bibl/hem., d.j. in paper slipcase.

White printed card covers. Green lettering along the spine and on the front cover. Sealed in original transparent publisher's shrink-wrapping. This publication accompanied the exhibition Theo A. Rosenblum: "I Didn't Know There Was Chicken In This Soup" that took place June 24 August 1, 2009 at 20 Hoxton Square in London, United Kingdom, presented by Vito Schnabel and 20 Hoxton Square. The art works, the artist s first solo show, included humorous paintings, sculptures and drawings influenced by comic books, horror films and medieval art, and allegorical painting. Rosenblum grew up in Manhattan; his mother, Jane Kaplowitz, is a painter, and his father, Robert Rosenblum, was curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum and a Professor at New York University. Rosenblum's work parodied the world around us and offered a visceral thrill, which provoked an immediate reaction and served as a draw that allowed the audience deeper entry into the work. Rosenblum first envisioned an expected interaction between two related objects, which he then disrupted, in the way that culture or science would disrupt a natural interaction, or nature would disrupt a manmade interaction. Rosenblum's work is about "the natural order of the world, mankind's artificial replications and interruptions of order and his own scepticism and fears this generates "in other words, life can often make you feel like a shit magnet". Rosenblum is a New York-based artist educated at Cooper Union School of Art. He has exhibited throughout the United States and has been included in several group shows, including: A Better History at the American Standard Gallery in New York, NY (2009), Invasions at 7Eleven Gallery in New York, NY (2008), Dutch Elm Disease in the Painting and Sculpture Collection at Gavin Brown s Enterprise @ Passerby in New York, NY (2007), Kamp K48 at John Connelly Presents in New York, NY (2006) and The Zine Unbound: Kults, Werewolves and Sarcastic Hippies at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, CA (2005).

Description: "A detailed study of the individualistic body of work created by American artist Prendergast (1863-1948) following his successful early career as a framemaker, this catalogue documents with illustrations and frequently lengthy commentaries some 70 pieces dating from the 1910s through the 1940s, including watercolors, sculptures, drawings and decorative objects along with many of the paintings of religious scenes and medieval and folk subjects produced by the artist on carved gessoed panels. Two essays chronicle Prendergast's career, describe his adaptation of Italian Renaissance techniques, and examine the evolution of his deliberately primitivist style and archaic themes, noting affinities with the Neo-Impressionist works of his brother Maurice." -- with a bonus offer--; 0.41 x 11.02 x 8.57 Inches ., University of Pennsylvania Press, 1993, 6<
