Book SynopsisThis book studies developments in art historical writing and factors which shaped the album preface. The prefaces were written in Persian between ca. 1491 and 1609 to introduce albums of calligraphy, painting, and drawing assembled for Safavid rulers and courtiers. Approaches to the study of these sources are examined, followed by an analysis of the sociohistorical court-centered context; the circumstances of the texts' composition, reception, and literary dimensions; and their art historical formation and content. It ends with an interpretation of calligrapher Dust Muhammad's preface and his conceptualization of a history and aesthetics of depiction. The book is the first to study the prefaces collectively and in relationship to other cultural practices. It also draws on a wide variety of additional primary sources. It includes forty illustrations and several tables.Table of ContentsCHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION TO THE PREFACES CHAPTER TWO: THE AUTHORS AND THEIR MILIEU CHAPER THREE: COMPOSITION AND CONTEXT CHAPTER FOUR: LITERARY DIMENSIONS CHAPTER FIVE: ART IN HISTORY AND PRACTICE CHAPTER SIX: LIFTING THE VEIL FROM THE FACE OF DEPICTION: DUST MUHAMMAD’S PREFACE CHAPTER SEVEN: EPILOGUE APPENDIX 1.

Book SynopsisThis collection of essays deals broadly with the visual and cultural manifestation of utopian aspirations in Russia of the 1920s and 1930s, while examining the before- and after-life of such ideas both geographically and chronologically. The studies document the pluralism of Russian and Soviet culture at this time as well as illuminating various cultural strategies adopted by officialdom. The result serves to complicate the excessively simplistic narrative that avant-garde dreams were suddenly and brutally crushed by Soviet repression and to contest the notion of the avant-garde’s complicity in Stalinism. Naturally, some essays document episodes in the defeat and dismantling of utopian projects, but others trace the persistence of avant-garde ideas and the astonishing tenacity of creative individuals who managed to retain their personal integrity while continuing to serve the cause of Soviet power. Contributors include: John E. Bowlt, Natalia Budanova, David Crowley, Evgeny Dobrenko, Maria Kokkori, Christina Lodder, Muireann Maguire, Nicholas Bueno de Mesquita, Maria Mileeva, John Milner, Nicoletta Misler, Maria Starkova-Vindman, Brandon Taylor, and Maria Tsantsanoglou.Table of ContentsList of illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction: Utopia and Dystopia: The Impulse of History Christina Lodder, Maria Kokkori and Maria Mileeva 1.

Book SynopsisGrief binds the worshipers together in an adagio of sorrow as they encounter the sculptural representation of the Entombment of Christ. Located in funerary chapels, parish churches, cemeteries, and hospitals, these works embody the piety of the later Middle Ages. In this book, Donna Sadler examines the sculptural Entombments from Burgundy and Champagne through a variety of lenses, including performance theory, embodied perception, and the invocation of the absent presence of the Holy Sepulcher. The author demonstrates how the action of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus entombing Christ in the presence of the Marys and John operates in a commemorative and collective fashion: the worshiper enters the realm of the holy and becomes a participant in the biblical event.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgements ix List of Illustrations xi Introduction 1 1 The Origins of the Entombment of Christ 7 2 The Entombment of Christ: Echoes of the Performative Piety of the Sculpture at the Chartreuse de Champmol 25 3 The Entombment of Christ: The Absent Presence of the Resurrected Christ and the Holy Sepulcher 72 4 Hocus Pocus: The Entombment of Christ and Medieval Performance 111 5 Conclusion: The Entombments in the Context of Late Medieval Sculpture 149 Bibliography 199 Index 229
