    • Art in detail: 100 masterpieces

      • 432 pages
      • 16 hours of reading

      Great paintings cannot be fully understood in a single encounter; there is always more to be derived from them. Art lovers may revisit and reconsider the masterpieces throughout their lives, but a deeper understanding can only be gained by analysing the painting in detail, be it the placement of the subject, the lighting, the style of brushstrokes or the themes. Art in Detail examines 100 iconic paintings from the Western canon and spotlights the finer points a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal. These include subtle internal details, such as hidden symbols and artistic tricks employed by the painter to achieve particular effects. In addition, Susie Hodge writes intelligently about external influences on the artist - everything from the socioeconomic context in which he or she flourished, to smaller local difficulties, such as the level of air pollution at the time the painting was created. And she treats each of her subjects not only, to quote Matthew Arnold, 'as in itself it really is', but also as part of a tradition that links the oldest painting to the most recent, as artists pass a metaphorical baton down through the ages. With 700 illustrations

      In diesem Buch erfahren die Leser, wie sie durch Kunst einen neuen Zugang zu ihren Emotionen finden können. Die Autorin Susie Hodge zeigt, dass das Betrachten von Kunstwerken wertvolle Impulse für den Umgang mit eigenen Gefühlen bietet. Selbstreflexion, der Abbau von Wut und die Bewältigung von Trauer sind durch das Studium von Bildern und Skulpturen möglich. Das Werk behandelt Themen wie Persönlichkeitsentwicklung durch die Reflexion über Emotionen, die Psychologie hinter bedeutenden Kunstwerken und bietet Interpretationen von über 70 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern. Hodge beleuchtet, wie Kunst als Therapie fungieren kann, von der Zerstreuung von Wut bis zur Annahme von Glück. Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen wichtiger Werke aus der Kunstgeschichte regt das Buch zur Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage an: Was bedeutet Kunst für mich? Die Interpretationen und Denkanstöße verbinden mehr als siebzig Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit grundlegenden menschlichen Emotionen. Von Frida Kahlo und Louise Bourgeois, die sich ihren Ängsten stellten, über Henri Matisse, der sein Glück umarmte, bis hin zu Auguste Rodin, der Hoffnung fand – Kunst vermittelt Werte, Sehnsüchte und Gefühle. Hodge möchte helfen, diese Botschaften zu verstehen und das emotionale Leben durch Kunst zu bereichern. Ein ideales Buch für Kunstliebhaber und solche, die es werden möchten!

    • Tajemství templářských rytířů

      Kronika válečnického mnišského řádu a jeho boje na obranu katolické křesťanské víry. Templáři soupeřili o ovládnutí Svaté země s muslimy, především s jejich geniálním vojevůdcem Saladínem a jeho následovníky. Tento řád, původně neformálně založený v roce 1119 na obranu křesťanských poutníků a v roce 1129 oficiálně uznaný římskou církví, se postupně proměnil v elitní bojovou sílu a sehrál významnou roli v křižáckých výpravách. Obdiv, který si templáři vysloužili strategickým důvtipem a hrdinskými činy, se však časem vytratil: řád byl obviněn z kacířství a z politických zločinů a za všeobecného opovržení rozpuštěn. Kniha přístupným způsobem a za doprovodu citací z dobových dokumentů a obrazových reprodukcí vypráví příběh o jeho vzestupu a pádu, a je proto ideální pro každého, kdo se zajímá o dějiny středověkého světa.
