Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "An unlikely episode in the history of European Modernism is the alliance between the avant-garde and the antique forged by artists of impeccable radical credentials. This book focuses on the reinventions and transformations of antiquity in the work of four culturally and politically diverse artists between 1905 and 1935. In distinctly different ways, classicizing creations such as de Chirico's enigmatic piazzas, Picasso's post-Cubist women, Leger's mechanized nudes, and Picabia's Transparencies reflect what the eyes and minds of these artists found so arresting in the arts of antiquity and how they made those arts modern. Classicism in the modern age has often been condemned as a conservative regression of the avant-garde in light of the totalitarian regimes that formed in Europe during this period. Yet far from being a reactionary language, the "classical" provided a range of elements that were surprisingly in tune with the "modern." Modern Antiquity draws unprecedented attention not only to the aesthetic impact ancient art had on twentieth-century artists but also to the ways in which these artists shaped our contemporary experience of antiquity. The result is a new and more nuanced appreciation of the complex role the classical past has played in western modernity." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. xiii, 178 pages, illustrations (some colour), colour maps; 27 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "About 1710, three life-size marble statues of women were found near Portici on the Bay of Naples. This discovery led to further exploration of the site, which was soon identified as the ancient city of Herculaneum, one of the towns buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The statues became famous throughout Europe as the 'Herculaneum Women.' First brought to Vienna, they have been in the Antiquities Collection in Dresden since 1736. This book presents for the first time in any language the comprehensive story of these famous statues, including their discovery, archaeological context, art history, interpretation, (an ongoing debate), and the impact of the Greek statuary types on representations of Roman women throughout the Mediterranean. No other models of the draped female body were used more often in Roman sculpture to carry individual portraits, including those of empresses, than the Large and Small Herculaneum Women." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Discovery and archaeological context, by Jens Daehner; From Herculaneum to Dresden: the modern history, by Kordelia Knoll; The large and small Herculaneum women sculptures, by Christiane Vorster; The statue types in the Roman world, by Jens Daehner; Greek origins: the Herculaneum women in the pre-Roman world, by Christiane Vorster; From the menagerie to the plaster gallery: the Herculaneum women in Dresden, by Moritz Woelk.

Softcover. Condition: VG+. Quarto. Softcover. Glued wraps with color illustrations on cover. (8) 9-367 pp. Features color illustrations. "For the general public and specialists alike, the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) and its diverse artistic legacy remain underexplored and not well understood. Yet it was a time when artists throughout the Mediterranean developed new forms, dynamic compositions, and graphic realism to meet new expressive goals, particularly in the realm of portraiture. Rare survivors from antiquity, large bronze statues are today often displayed in isolation, decontextualized as masterpieces of ancient art. Power and Pathos gathers together significant examples of bronze sculpture in order to highlight their varying styles, techniques, contexts, functions, and histories. As the first comprehensive volume on large-scale Hellenistic bronze statuary, this book includes groundbreaking archaeological, art-historical, and scientific essays offering new approaches to understanding ancient production and correctly identifying these remarkable pieces. Designed to become the standard reference for decades to come, the book emphasizes the unique role of bronze both as a medium of prestige and artistic innovation and as a material exceptionally suited for reproduction."--Publisher's description.
