DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis publication brings together prominent art historians, conservators, and scientists to discuss fresh approaches to the study of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern works of bronze. Featuring significant bronzes from the Harvard Art Museums' holdings as well as other museum collections, the volume's eight essays present technical and formal analyses in a format that will be useful for both general readers and students of ancient art. The text provides an overview of ancient manufacturing processes as well as modern methods of scientific examination, and it focuses on objects as diverse as large-scale statuary and more utilitarian armor, vessels, and lamps. Filling a current gap in the art historical literature, this book offers a much-needed, accessible introduction to ancient bronzes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art? www.getty.edu/publications/artistryinbronze

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from An Important Collection of Paintings and Bronzes by Modern Masters of American and European Art: On View at the C. W. Kraushaar Art Galleries, 680 Fifth Avenue, New York, December 4th to 30th, 1922 In this exhibition Mr. Kraushaar has done an uncommon, fine thing. He has defied that efficiency devil, the classifier. He has brought into this collection the pictures of good paint ers without respect to the uniforms of the regi ments in which, for the sake of economy, these organizers of artists have placed them. He has done a very fine thing in art in neglecting the rule for its exception. Indeed, if this exhibition was without anything else in its favor, it would remain of tremendous importance as a piece of destructive criticism. The exceptions to the rule in governments are criminals, and perhaps justly punished as such. The exceptions to the rule in art are artists, and of an estimable value to the world. In art, ultimately, they are the only facts worth bothering about. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
