Sinopsis

Powerful Art Patrons explores the significant influence of wealth and power on the creation and evolution of art throughout history. It examines how art patronage, from the Renaissance to today, has shaped not only what art is made but also who gets to see it. The book highlights the complex relationship between artists and their benefactors, demonstrating how patronage involves more than just financial support; it also involves power dynamics that can dictate artistic choices and trends.

 
Consider the Medici family, who commissioned groundbreaking works that defined the Renaissance, illustrating how personal fortunes can shape entire artistic movements. The book approaches this topic by tracing the evolution of art patronage across different eras. Beginning with foundational concepts, it then delves into specific historical periods and patrons, such as Peggy Guggenheim, analyzing their impact on artists and the art world.

 
Finally, it examines contemporary models of art funding, including corporate sponsorships and private philanthropy, and the ethical considerations involved. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how art patronage acts as both a catalyst for innovation and a potential constraint on artistic expression, offering valuable insights for art enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of art, history, and economics.

New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610.

But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

The Word of Dog - What Our...

Mark Rowlands

A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
 
 
 
If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
 
 
 
In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

The Length of the Shackles On...

Denis Collin

Our contemporary societies let us believe that we are free—it is a delusion. We are still shackled in our chains, even in the West. Chains that we take for wings: we believe ourselves to be in a democracy, we think that work allows us to emancipate ourselves, and we imagine that new technologies facilitate our lives. This is our daily “Newspeak.”
But oligarchy reigns. People are mired in consumerism and liberalism. Security control is more and more prevalent, while medical progress in procreation brings us closer to an “industrial fabrication of human beings.” In this context, we must question and rethink the conditions of a true human liberation.
This is the work that Denis Collin has undertaken. Basing himself on numerous historical and philosophical references, he redefines the concepts and opens up new political, economic, social and metaphysical perspectives. The setting up of “partial associations” at all levels of political organization, the end of wage labor in favor of the cooperation of producers, the realization of man through his creative activity, the guarantee of the primacy of subjectivity in the face of scientism, are among the weapons intended to break our chains.
