‎"Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art" (Charles Dempsey, The Johns Hopkins University) A very important part of Caravaggio?s production consists of pictorial narratives, mostly religious. Thus, according to early modern aesthetics, Caravaggio practiced the artistic genre of the istoria: the most discussed and thoroughly defined pictorial institution of his time. Unanimously, seventeenth-century artists and art theorists censored and condemned Caravaggio?s art for its numerous deficiencies and faults in regard to the principles of the istoria. In spite of all these testimonies, Caravaggio?s innovations in and misuses of the techniques specific to early modern pictorial narrative have never been systematically studied, debated, and put into historical perspective. In this volume, Lorenzo Pericolo argues that Caravaggio?s multiple experimentations with the traditional devices of the istoria not only represent the core of an unprecedented "poetics of dislocation," but also unsettled, dismantled, and expanded the scope of pictorial narrative in ways that would have redefined and deeply transformed the concept of painting and artistic creation, had Caravaggio?s enterprise not have been ferociously criticized and stigmatized as both aberrant and defective. To solidly establish the importance and groundbreaking charge of Caravaggio?s work, Pericolo examines the notion of Leon Battista Alberti?s istoria as interpreted and developed by early modern artists and theorists?from Leonardo to Vasari, from Lomazzo to Poussin, and from Michelangelo to Bellori?in vast surveys in which the concepts of diachrony, duration, eurythmy, propriety, verisimilitude, and pictorial truth? among others?are carefully examined on a theoretical and practical level. By analyzing the paintings of Caravaggio?s followers such as Cecco del Caravaggio, Battistello Caracciolo, Valentin de Boulogne and, not least, Diego Velazquez, Pericolo explores how Caravaggio?s innovations in the domain of pictorial narrative were variously construed, elaborated upon, and brought to fruition in the aftermath of the master?s death in 1610, thereby offering a critical explanation of the implosion and extinction of the Caravaggesque movement in the 1630s. Among the flood of recent books devoted to Caravaggio, whose popularity now stands at the zenith, Lorenzo Pericolo?s profound and passionate study stands out for its sensitive and learned presentation of an argument that is both historically true and critically revealing to present-day sensibilities. Thoroughly at home in the vast literature devoted to Baroque art in general and to Caravaggio in particular, Pericolo also brings to his subject an unrivaled understanding of modern theoretical techniques on the one hand, and, on the other, an unrivaled mastery of seventeenth-century artistic theory, profoundly based in Aristotelian poetics and in rhetorical techniques. Through extended close readings of Caravaggio?s paintings, arranged in roughly chronological order, Pericolo brilliantly teases out the theoretical and practical choices that confronted Caravaggio, and that further determined reception of his work, both in the positive and negative senses, by highly sophisticated contemporary audiences. Beyond this, Pericolo is a remarkably sensitive guide to Caravaggio?s expression of profound, wrenching and often painful, emotions caught in eternal suspension, the sources of both his contemporaries? discomfort and our own, modern, recognition and appreciation. Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art. ‎

‎First appearance of Perrin's doctorial thesis, in which he definitly settled the question of the common nature of cathode rays and of the recently discovered X rays, showing them to be particles. The experiments prepared the way for J.J. Thomson's determination in 1897 of the charge-mass ratio of these particles, electrons. In 1896 Perrin won the Joule Prize of the Royal Society for his experiments on cathode rays and for his preliminary studies on Röntgen's X rays, these investigations formed the content of his thesis. Perrin received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926 for this and other work on the discontinuous structure of matter, which put a definite end to the long struggle regarding the question of the physical reality of molecules.""During the 1890s he was attracted to the study of cathode rays, which Crookes had shown to be electrically charged. Even so, there remained controversy whether they were particles (as it seemed they would have to be if they were charged) or whether Crooke's observations were in error and they were actually a form of wave radiation. Perrin settled the matter for all in 1895 by showing that the radiation could be made to impart a large negative charge to a cylinder upon which they fell. The cathode rays must, therefore, consist of negatively-charged material, and must be particles rather than wave. J.J. Thomson was able to determine the mass of the particles and to show that they were much smaller than atoms.""(Asimov).The offered volume contains further notable papers. 14 Memoirs by Marcellin Berthelot.‎

‎First appearance of these 8 papers constituting Perrin's major work on the Brownian motion and establishing THE REALITY OF THE MOLECULAR-KINETIC VIEW OF MATTER. Perrin's experimental verification of molecular reality and his 'classical' verification of the statistical method was of great importece to the subsequent rise of the quantum revolution with the introduction of quantum mechanics. Perrin's experiments helped to confirm Einstein's analysis of the Brownian movements (1905), and calculated a value for Avogadro's numbers and thereby the size of atoms and molecules.Perrin was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, 1926 ""for his work on discontinuity in the structure of matter, and in particular for his discovery of the equilibrium of sedimentation"" ""The work for which Perrin is best known is his investigation of Brownian motion, the erratic movements performed by microscopic particles in suspension in a fluid, now interpreted as being caused by the continous, irregular bombardment of the particles by the molecules of the surrounding medium. Perrin thought that collodially suspended particles undergoing Brownian motion would distribute themselves vertically in a definite way at equilibrium. By counting small particles of gum resin suspended in water, Perrin found that their number decreased exponentially with increasing height. He proved that this variation follows from kinetic theory and that from it he could calculate a value for Avogadro's number. Since the size of a water molecule appeared in the equation for the vertical distribution of the brownian motion particles, for the first time the sizes of atoms and molecules could be calculated from actual observations. As henri Poincaré wrote: ""The brilliant determination of the number of atom (in a mole) made by Perrin has completed the triumph of atomism.... The atom of the chemists is now a reality.'

‎Der 1954 in Bombay geborene Kunstler zahlt zu den prominentesten Vertretern der British Sculpture. Bereits mit seinen ersten Skulpturen ? einfachen, auf dem Boden ruhenden Formen mit farbigen Pigmenten ? schuf der Kunstler ein uberaus vielgestaltiges Werk aus unterschiedlichen Materialien wie Stein, Stahl und Glas. Das abstrakt-poetische ?uvre des Turner-Preistragers beeindruckt durch seine Spiritualitat und Transzendenz, die ihre Wurzeln in der indischen Heimat des heute in London lebenden Kunstlers haben. Dieser Band stellt drei grosse Arbeiten aus Wachs vor, die der Bildhauer eigens fur die gleichnamige Ausstellung im MAK Wien entwickelt hat und mit denen er kunstlerisches Neuland betritt. Der Band dokumentiert diese Werkgruppe in einem Abbildungsteil ausfuhrlich. Ebenso werden erstmalig die Wachsarbeiten seit 1992 und das grafische Werk seit 1987 gemeinsam publiziert, um die Wechselwirkung zwischen Malerei und Bildhauerei im Werk Kapoors naher zu beleuchten. Erganzt wird dieser umfassende Einblick in das Schaffen des Kunstlers mit Essays, die das Werk kunst- und kulturhistorisch verorten.‎
