    Papi, Silvio Berlusconi

    Papi, Silvio Berlusconi

    Dikke paperback, zo goed als nieuw. Mooi ex. 

    Biografie van de Italiaanse minister-president met speciale aandacht voor de verstrengeling van zijn politieke en zakelijke belangen.

    Peter Gomez, Marco Lillo en Marco Travaglio, allen gelauwerde en gelouterde Italiaanse journalisten die voor verschillende kranten verslag doen van grote corruptieschandalen, omkopingen en maffi apraktijken, schetsen in Papi een gedetailleerd en ontluisterend beeld van de handelswijze van minister-president Berlusconi (leider van de politieke partij Popolo della Liberta, eigenaar van het Italiaans media-imperium Mediaset en een van de eigenaren van de voetbalclub AC Milan) en zijn entourage. En dan vooral van de wijze waarop zij over de rug van het Italiaanse electoraat samenzweren en de boel belazeren, waarbij niet alleen actrices en escorts zijn betrokken...

    Aan de hand van afgetapte telefoongesprekken, opgenomen door Italiaanse aanklagers en politieofficieren en interviews en artikelen uit kranten en tijdschriften, tonen de auteurs aan hoe Berlusconi Kamerleden, officieren van justitie en mediaspecialisten probeerde om te kopen en hen in allerlei compromitterende situaties trachtte te brengen. Papi gaat ook uitgebreid over Berlusconi en de vrouwen. Veel van de jongedames die in allerlei schandalen rondom Berlusconi verwikkeld raakten, zetelen nu in het Europees Parlement, als dank voor hun aanwezigheid in Berlusconi`s buitenhuis in Sardinie of bij feesten in Rome. Ook wordt dieper ingegaan op de zaak-Noemi Letizia. Berlusconi nam de toen zeventienjarige in november 2008 mee naar een officieel diner in een Romeinse villa met ministers en captains of industry....

    The Mirror and the...

    The Mirror and the Palette. Rebellion, Revolution and Resilience

    Paperback in goede staat. Naam op titelpagina. 2 Fotokaternen. Engelstalig

    Her story weaves in and out of time and place. She's Frida Kahlo, Lois Mailou Jones and Amrita Sher-Gil en route to Mexico City, Paris or Bombay. She's Suzanne Valadon and Gwen John, craving city lights, the sea and solitude; she's Artemisia Gentileschi striding through the streets of Naples and Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede. She's haunting museums in her paint-stained dress, scrutinising how El Greco or Titian or Van Dyck or Cezanne solved the problems that she too is facing. She's railing against her corsets, her chaperones, her husband and her brothers; she's hammering on doors, dreaming in her bedroom, working day and night in her studio. Despite the immense hurdles that have been placed in her way, she sits at her easel, picks up a mirror and paints a self-portrait because, as a subject, she is always available. Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In THE MIRROR AND THE PALETTE, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery. This is a dazzlingly original and ambitious book by one of the most well-respected art critics at work today.

    Leonardo Da Vinci

    Leonardo Da Vinci

    Engelstalig, linnengebonden met omslag, in zeer goede staat 

    A true genius whose talents embraced painting, engineering, anatomy, and flight, Leonardo da Vinci was--and remains--an extraordinary human being, indeed one of the most intriguing figures in world history, as the recent success of The Da Vinci Code attests. Now, in this new biography, Martin Kemp explores the essential nature of this forever fascinating artist-engineer, both as an individual and as a historical phenomenon.
    How can we best understand Leonardo? How did his mind work--was he prolific but scattered in his thinking, or is there a method in what often seems to be his madness? Was he basically an artist who also pursued science and technology, or was "science"--his understanding of the physical world--central to his artistic vision? In Leonardo, Martin Kemp offers a vivid portrait of the Renaissance giant that answers these questions and more. The book takes us on an absorbing journey through the life and work of Leonardo, looking first at the historical man, portraying an impressive and cultivated figure, an artist who in truth completed few paintings, rarely satisfied a commission, and yet lived in style and ended his career with a massive salary. More important, the author examines the ideas underlying Leonardo's investigations of nature, illuminating his vision of the artist-engineer as matching nature itself in his creativity. Kemp argues that Leonardo's apparent diversities reveal a desire to find an inner unity in the functioning of everything in the observable world. For Leonardo, writes Kemp, every act of looking and drawing was an act of analysis, and he used these analyses to re-make and re-interpret his surroundings. In a final chapter, Kemp also comments on the Da Vinci Code and "the continuing public appetite for Leonardo and his doings."
    Beautifully illustrated with a unique "thumbnail museum" that offers a tour of all Leonardo's paintings, plus 30 additional illustrations and life-size reproductions of pages from his famous notebooks, Leonardo is a powerful portrait of one of the towering geniuses of world history.

    The Classical Language...

    The Classical Language of Architecture

    Engelstalige paperback, revised and enlarged edition, in zeer goede staat

    "Classical architecture is a visual 'language' and like any other language has its own grammatical rules. Classical buildings as widely spaced in time as a Roman temple, an Italian Renaissance palace and a Regency house all show an awareness of these rules even if they vary them, break them or poetically contradict them. Sir Christopher Wren described them as the 'Latin' of architecture and the analogy is almost exact. There is the difference, however, that whereas the learning of Latin is a slow and difficult business, the language of classical architecture is relatively simple. It is still, to a great extent, the mode of expression of our urban surroundings, since classical architecture was the common language of the western world till comparatively recent times. Anybody to whom architecture makes a strong appeal has probably already discovered something of its grammar for himself. In this book, the author's purpose is to set out as simply and vividly as possible the exact grammatical workings of this architectural language. He is less concerned with its development in Greece and Rome than with its expansion and use in the centuries since the Renaissance. He explains the vigorous discipline of 'the orders' and the scope of 'rustication'; the dramatic deviations of the Baroque and, in the last chapter, the relationship between the classical tradition and the 'modern' architecture of today. The book is intended for anybody who cares for architecture but more specifically for students beginning a course in the history of architecture, to whom a guide to the classical rules will be an essential companion."--Publisher description.
