"Artemisia Gentileschi around 1622: the shaping and reshaping of an artistic identity"

Escrito por Mary D. Garrard
Mary D. Garrard, author of the acclaimed Artemisia Gentileschi, furthers her study of the seventeenth-century artist in this groundbreaking investigation of two little-known paintings. Taking as case studies the Seville Mary Magdalene and the Burghley House Susanna and the Elders, paintings of circa 1621-22 attributed to Artemisia, Garrard examines the ways that identity, gender, and market pressures interact both in the artist's work and in the criticism and connoisseurship that have surrounded it.

EL ARTE DE VIAJAR

Con motivo del debate abierto en clase a propósito de "el viaje" me ha venido a la cabeza un libro que leí el año pasado que se titula "El arte de viajar". Su autor Alain de Botton analiza aspectos que entran en juego al viajar: las expectativas previas, el exotismo, los no-lugares (como aeropuertos, estaciones...), el arte, el amor por la naturaleza... Todo ello se divide en capítulos en que se desarrolla en paralelo "el viaje" del autor y las reflexiones, análisis o experiencias de filósofos, escritores y artistas (Flaubert, Baudelaire, William Wordsworth, David Hopper, Van Gogh).
