The art of Arousal (en anglais) / Ruth Westheimer

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : The art of Arousal (en anglais) Auteurs : Ruth Westheimer Editeur : Abbeville press, 1993   Résumé : Well-known sex therapist Westheimer here presents a provocative, richly eclectic, inspirational collection of erotic art. Chapters proceed methodically from flirtation and seduction to foreplay, the embrace, solitary and group pleasures and conclude with blissful exhaustion--a loose framework for organizing more than 100 color reproductions of works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Titian, Watteau, Durer, Manet, Courbet, Egon Schiele, David Hockney and others. The scope is multicultural, embracing Persian miniatures, a Cambodian sandstone female torso, a Dogon primordial couple from west Africa and Hopi carver Fred Koruh's interlocking male and female kachina dolls. Westheimer's exhortatory interjections on foreplay, lovemaking positions and so forth seem intrusive amidst the shrewd art-historical commentaries of her anonymous, albeit acknowledged cultural adviser. Overall, this is a delightful bedside companion.

Treasures of the Louvre / Michel Laclotte

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : Treasures of the Louvre Auteurs : Michel Laclotte Editeur : Abbeville press Langues : Anglais (eng)   Résumé : Two hundred years ago, the doors of the Louvre opened to the public for the very first time. The palace of the French kings had been transformed into a museum that today stretches over an enormous architectural ensemble right in the heart of Paris. The royal collections first assembled by Francis I in the sixteenth century were later transferred to the Louvre palace, and this prestigious core was further enriched with artistic treasures during the Revolutionary period. The collections have been growing since, and are today divided into seven departments. Oriental Antiquities, Egyptian Antiquities, and Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities illustrate the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle East and the Mediterranean countries. The other four so-called 'modern' departments -painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and drawing- span Western art from the height of the Middle Ages to the mid-nineteenth century. With superb reproductions of nearly 400 of the museum's most renowned masterpieces, this glorious volume provides a grand tour of the Louvre's unparalleled collection, and highlights the extraordinary range of artistic traditions that have gradually found their place in this museum.
