Caravaggio: Art, Knighthood and Malta

Midsea Books, 2012. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9789993270713 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, uncreased covers. A well-kept copy. Written by two leading authorities in the field, this richly illustrated book tells the story of Caravaggio's voyage to Malta, his interactions with the Knights and their leader, Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt, and the magnificent paintings he made for them. Among the works he produced on the island are the Beheading of St John the Baptist - his largest and only signed picture - and the St Jerome Writing , a canvas of exceptional pyschological force. The book presents new iconographic, technical, and stylistic analyses of all of the Maltese pictures as well as two chapters devoted to discussions of Caravaggio's importance in the history of art and the chronological problems in his late works. Based on original archival research, this study also includes an account of Caravaggio's crime in Malta, his imprisonment, and his daring escape to Sicily. Illustrated. 149 pages.

The Last Frontier: Kelly Richardson

Southern Alberta Art Gallery, 2013. First Edition, Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9781894699570 Slight bumping to top corner of front and rear boards and jacket, firm binding, clean unmarked pages, slight curling to top rear edge of jacket, very small indent to front. This is a superbly illustrated retrospective of the last 15-years [pre-2013] of audiovisual installations works by Kelly Richardson. This first retrospective publication features an extensive look at the UK-based Canadian born artist's audiovisual installation works of the last fifteen years. Richardson's works play with the idea of the hyper-real, a notion that due to our increased use of new media can no longer be distinguished from the real or the constructed. In particular she is fascinated by the way in which we connect with landscape, and within her deeply layered practice, she draws on devices from Hollywood science-fiction and horror, landscape painting and wildlife cinematography. The results are complex cinematic installations that present us with locations that appear real but have been subtly doctored with CGI, animation and sound to create an unsettling, otherworldly atmosphere. The lack of any physical human presence enhances the work; often making the scenarios feel like a post-apocalyptic future 160 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

The Art of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - Including the Screenplay

Ted Smart, 2002. Hardcover. Fine Condition. Missing its jacket.Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight bumping and wear to boards. This is a very good book - and one that I'd certainly recommend to fans of Star Wars (and to students of film-making). It presents the screenplay of the movie "Attack of the Clones" as well as numerous pieces of film art associated with that movie. The drawings - some in full colour, others in black and white - are stunning, and demonstrate the time and effort that went into the pre-production stage of this movie. (Reader review) 220 pages.

Claudio Guarino

Edizioni Charta, 2008. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9788881586714 Clean unmarked pages, very slight wear to covers. A well-kept copy. Enchanted gardens, splendid but aloof dames sans merci, solitary heroes in search of a lost love, magical apparitions immersed in blinding light and sudden visions: this is the surprising and prolific, eclectic and prodigiously generous artistic activity of Claudio Guarino, a "creator" with an unpredictable and original personality of objects, installations, films, and performances inspired by opera and gathered here for the first time. This publication documents the oeuvre of an artist who knows how to simultaneously discuss desire, pleasure, and eroticism, not opposed or merely compared to existing norms but instead re-imagined in a fantastical, fairy-tale, limitless world. Text in Italian and English. 168 pages. Text is in multiple languages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; ISBN/EAN: 9788881586714. Inventory No: dscf11367.
