Martha Graham (May 11, 1894-April 1, 1991) was an influential American modern dancer and choreographer. In 1926 the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance was established. In the following decades, it would help develop many of her famous protégés. In 1938 Graham became the first dancer to perform at the White House. In 1976 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. Graham's influence on dance has been compared with the influence of Picasso on modern visual arts, Stravinsky on music, and Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture. This recording is from a lecture Graham gave on the requirements for being an exceptional dancer.

Art theory has had great prominence for centuries. Many people are fond of art and in fact artists are producing artwork to portray their views on any particular situation, trend, or a topic.

Art theory accentuates the concepts of modern and contemporary art practices. With the increase in demand for art theory, educational institutions and universities have introduced this as one of the courses in their colleges. As part of this art theory, people, especially artists, designers, and craftspeople will get to study and interpret art in various forms and will learn how to generate ideas to project their artistic work. Art theory will inform people about the society, history, culture, traditions, and social structure.

Members Reviews:

Malo malo

Un libro absolutamente simplista sobre el arte, con afirmaciones categóricas que para nada responden a la diversidad y complejidad del arte real, y menos el de los siglos XX y XXI. Se reduce a definiciones de términos, y a clasificaciones de técnicas y métodos artísticos que para mí son muy cuestionables.

La locución es aburridísima. He tardado en darme cuenta de que no era voz sintética.

Publisher's Summary:

On a freezing night in January 2013, an assailant hurled acid in the face of the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Filin. The crime, organised by a lead soloist, dragged one of Russia's most illustrious institutions into scandal.

Under Vladimir Putin, the Bolshoi Theatre has been called on to preserve Russia's lengthy artistic legacy and to mirror its neo-imperial ambitions. As renowned musicologist Simon Morrison shows in his tour de force account, the attack and its torrid aftermath underscored the importance of the Bolshoi to the art of ballet, to Russia, and to the world.

With exclusive access to state archives and private sources, Morrison sweeps us through the history of the ballet, tracing the political ties that bind the institution to the varying Russian regimes and detailing the birth of some of the best-loved ballets in the repertoire.

From its disreputable beginnings in 1776, the Bolshoi became a point of pride for the tsarist empire after the defeat of Napoleon in 1812. After the revolution Moscow was transformed into a global capital; meetings of the Communist Party were hosted at the Bolshoi, and the Soviet Union was signed into existence on its stage.

Recently, a 450 million restoration has returned the Bolshoi to its former glory, even as prized talent has departed. The theatre has been bombed, rigged with explosives and reinforced with cement. Its dancers have suffered unimaginable physical torment to climb the ranks. But, as Morrison reveals, the Bolshoi has transcended its own fraught history, surviving 250 years of artistic and political upheaval to define not only Russian culture but also ballet itself.

Critic Reviews:

"The title means what it says. There's plenty of scandal here: arson, double suicide, dead cats flung at curtain calls. At the same time, the book is energetically researched, beautifully written - fun, relaxed, sophisticated - and full of serious ideas, boldly stated." (Joan Acocella, The New Yorker)

"Another marvelously informative book from Simon Morrison, dishing this time on Russia's great musical theater, onstage and off. It is a wonderful read, full of intriguing spectacle and spectacular intrigue." (Richard Taruskin, author of The Oxford History of Western Music)

"Simon Morrison has written an engrossing history of one of Russia's most enduring cultural institutions. Bolshoi Confidential deftly shatters the distinctions between high-brow and low-brow, art and politics, authority and violence." (Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana and A World on Fire)

"A colorful and erudite view on Russia through the tumultuous history of the sumptuous Bolshoi." (Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible)

"Simon Morrison's Bolshoi Confidential is a magisterial portrait of the art, intrigue and politics buffeting Russia's great cultural institution, the Bolshoi Ballet. From its birth in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars to the corrosive intrigues of the 21st century, ballet was the heart of Soviet compliance and attempted resistance.

Resumen del editor:

Al mismo tiempo que los europeos luchaban entre sí denodadamente y realizaban las mejores obras artísticas de su historia, se lanzaban al mar dispuestos a desarrollar su economía de forma industrial y marítima, descubriendo los confines del Atlántico, del Índico y del Pacífico para establecer allí su poder económico y militar. El resultado, como no podía ser otro, fue el gran desarrollo comercial de sus países al mismo tiempo que un continuo enfrentamiento bélico por predominar en aquellas zonas unos contra otros. Estos resultados negativos se vieron compensados históricamente por la posibilidad de extender su arte y su cultura a los cinco continentes.

Resumen del editor:

A lo largo de más de setenta años de actividad creadora, es decir, durante todo el período de desarrollo del arte actual, Pablo Picasso ha sido el centro de la vida artística de su tiempo. Nunca ha seguido reglas ni normas determinadas. Para él, el arte ha sido siempre una aventura en busca de una pintura nueva: su producción ha sido una continua renovación. Por eso, encasillarle única y exclusivamente en las fronteras del cubismo es un grave error, ya que ha puesto su talento al servicio de la mayor parte de las tendencias pictóricas de nuestro tiempo.

Resumen del editor:

Nuestra Península es tan rica en manifestaciones artísticas prehistóricas que, precisamente, su abundancia ha tenido sumidos en el mayor desconcierto, durante mucho tiempo, a historiadores y arqueólogos, impidiéndoles establecer un esquema de conjunto en el que quedasen satisfactoriamente encuadradas y correlacionadas esas variadísimas manifestaciones.

Resumen del editor:

A partir de la obra helénica, y con una influencia etrusca muy marcada, los romanos aparecen en el escenario artístico europeo con gran originalidad, sobre todo en el capítulo arquitectónico, aunque también muestran gran talento para la escultura y la pintura, y son los grandes creadores del mosaico. En conjunto aparece un nuevo estilo artístico, inspirado sin duda en el helénico pero con indudable personalidad, que va a influir notablemente en el arte europeo posterior.

Resumen del editor:

Aunque el gran peso del arte islámico se desarrolla especialmente en la arquitectura y en la cerámica, por tener prácticamente prohibidas la escultura y la pintura, en estas series podemos contemplar la gran originalidad de la mentalidad islámica a partir del siglo XIII, en el que el genio islámico ha madurado lo suficiente para producir algunas obras que van a quedar como testimonios inolvidables de su arte.
