In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.The Australian War Memorial's art collection numbers many thousands of works - sketches, paintings and sculpture - which represent the output of war artists both official and unofficial during a span of more than eighty years. Begun by C.E.W. Bean after the First World War, the collection is now the most comprehensive in Australia and reveals a facet of Australian history and culture all too frequently overlooked.Volume I surveys the artists and their war art from 1885 up to and including the Great War. Some of the most famous names in Australian painting are represented here in an entirely different light, including Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and other 'Heidelberg School' painters, as well as artists best known for their imposing First World War battle pictures, such as George Lambert and H. Septimus Power. In addition to major artists and art works depicting and recording primarily the…

Description:
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights on books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Peachment's imagined Caravaggio, while still a child, overhears his parents discussing one of his sketches, and realizes he has a talent which sets him apart from the world. He leaves family and home for ever to map out a solitary traveller's life.Caravaggio became a revolutionary of his time, a rebellious and dangerous man to know, a man governed by his genius, his indiscriminate sexual appetite and his murderous rage. He was sought far and wide in the late-Renaissance world for his art. And there was a price on his head for at least one murder.This is Caravaggio's confession, told in humorous, blasphemous, often brutal prose, which cleverly beguiles the reader into understanding the art that was so celebrated and the life that caused so much outrage.

Description:
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Naples is always a shock, flaunting beauty and squalor like nowhere else. Naples is the only city in Europe whose ancient past still lives in its irrepressible people. Their ancestors came from all over the early Mediterranean to the wide bay and its islands, shadowed by a dormant volcano. Not all of them found what they were looking for, but they made a great and terribly human city.Peter Robb's Street Fight in Naples ranges across nearly three thousand years of Neapolitan life and art, from the first Greek landings in Italy to his own less auspicious arrival thirty-something years ago.In 1503 Naples became the Mediterranean capital of Spain's world empire and the base for the Christian struggle with Islam. It was a European metropolis matched only by Paris and Istanbul, an extraordinary concentration of military power, lavish consumption, poverty and desperation. As the…

Description:
In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.The popular concept of Toulouse-Lautrec as an emotionally insecure, physically deformed aristocrat living a reckless bohemian existence in fin-de-siècle Paris is enshrined in John Huston's classic movie Moulin Rouge. The publicity for this described Lautrec as a 'gifted painter and tortured soul.' Major exhibitions in Chicago in 1979 and London in 1991/2, however have suggested that the interpretation of Lautrec's work as that of artist as victim is an over-simplification. The critic Robert Hughes has acclaimed his 'precocious modernity' and argued that his 'caustic and tender view of the world speaks directly to our culture of narcissistic display.'Frank Milner's richly illustrated and penetrating study focuses not only on the Montmartre cabaret life Lautrec portrayed so brilliantly in his witty and elegant graphics, but also on his claim to a place in the history of avant-garde painting…
