DOWNLOAD EBOOKPartiendo del personaje de Laocoonte, devorado por la violencia desatada entre dos ciudades helénicas, la muestra, además de incluir la serie de "Los desastres de la guerra", de Goya, reúne a más de treinta artistas, nacionales e internacionales, comprometidos con su tiempo, cuya mirada nos enfrenta a situaciones y sentimientos que brotan de la sinrazón, del miedo, de la amenaza, situaciones que proceden de la política, esto es, de la instancia pública que debería ser garante de la paz, la libertad de actuación y pensamiento, y la concordia, y que, si bien han existido en todas las épocas, alcanzan en nuestro tiempo unas cotas inimaginables de impunidad -irresponsabilidad- y amplitud -genocidio.

ISBN-13: 1526112639
DOWNLOAD EBOOKMakes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.

Minimalismos, un signo de los tiempos

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRather than limit the minimal to being a type of visual art, the curators of Minimalisms: A Sign of the Times conceive of the minimal as a way of life, as a spirit that impregnates nearly the whole of modern culture and its surroundings. After an exhaustive overview of classic Minimalist works by Dan Flavin, Frank Stella, Agnes Martin, Carl Andre, and Elsworth Kelly, Minimalisms looks further, at artworks by Andreas Gursky, Candida Hoffer, Richard Serra, Jean-Marc Bustamante, and Gunther Forg, architecture by Peter Zumthor, Dominique Perrault, Claus En Kaan, and Rafael Moneo, furniture designs by Donald Judd and Shiro Kuramate, and fashion designs by Anni Albers, Donna Karan, and Issey Miyaki. Linking them all is a simplicity of form and ornament, a technical precision, and the essential and concrete nature of structure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume of essays, based on papers given at a conference on England and Europe in the reign of Henry III, at the University of Wales, Swansea in April 2000, investigates the close political, economic and cultural ties that developed between England and its neighbours during the reign of Henry III. The essays demonstrate the variety and strength of these contacts between England and her neighbours, and by seeking to place Henry's England within a broader geographical and thematic range, contribute to a broader understanding of England's place within 13th century Europe.
