Kunst dagegen verachtet den Kompromiß, das Mittlere wie das Mittelmaß und dringt geradezu feindselig und diktatorisch auf Alleinherrschaft. Die Beiträge des Bandes beziehen hierzu - gerade vor dem Hintergrund des 11. September 2001 - auf differenzierte... more...

    Taylor and Francis 2010; US$ 34.95

    Artistic representations of landscape are studied widely in areas ranging from art history to geography to sociology, yet there has been little consensus about how to understand the relationship between landscape and art.

Andrea... more...

  • We Did Pornby Zak Smith

    Tin House Books 2009; US$ 24.95

    Blending memoir with Smith's own drawings and paintings, We Did Porn will do for alt porn what Hunter S. Thompson did for motorcycle gangs and Tom Wolfe for psychedelica.

  • Sketches Sartorial, Tonsorial and the Likeby St Claire Bullock; R. V. Andelson

    Shepheard-Walwyn 2009; US$ 9.95

    A collection of rhyming couplets, these wry and witty poems ponder the foibles and vanities of mortals. Cartoon pen-and-ink drawings by well-known illustrator Barrington Barber accompany the limerick-like lyrics, which capture the ridiculous?such as absurdly trimmed mustaches and outrageous hairstyles?with humorous rhymes and amusing titles. Perfect... more...

  • Bürger, Gott und Götterschützlingby Sabine Schlegelmilch

    De Gruyter 2009; US$ 168.00

    Portrayals of children became increasingly common in Greek literature and art during the Hellenistic period. It has long been thought that the reasons for this lie in the alienation of the Greeks as a result of the collapse of the polis and its structures, which was then compensated for by a concentration on private subjects. A review of recent research... more...
