Blauw, rood, groen en goud

Een bondig overzicht van de kunstgeschiedenis met vier kleuren in de hoofdrol In Blauw, rood, groen en goud gaat kunsthistoricus Ben Street op zoek naar de geschiedenis van de schilderkunst aan de hand van 48 schilderijen en vier kleuren: hemelsblauw, sensueel rood, gifgroen en glinsterend goud. Deze vier kleuren zijn de sleutel tot fascinerende verhalen: van de pigmenten waarmee de kleuren gemaakt worden – soms bijzonder duur, zoals ultramarijn, of gevaarlijk giftig, zoals smaragdgroen – tot de verschillende betekenissen die de kleuren door de tijd hebben gekregen. Blauw, rood, groen en goud bevat leuke feiten én geeft een beknopt overzicht van de kunst door de eeuwen heen. Bij elke kleur worden de belangrijkste meesterwerken in chronologische volgorde gepresenteerd, waarmee ook de ontwikkeling in de kunstgeschiedenis duidelijk wordt. Blauw, rood, groen en goud is een boek dat geen kunstliefhebber mag missen.

The Art of Poetics and Politics: The Shield of Achilles

This book provides a current reading of the Shield of Achilles in the Iliad. Looking to combat views that regard aspects of the passage as confused and inessential, I hope to demonstrate the different ways in which this passage is important to the understanding of the greater epic. My first chapter provides a scene-by-scene analysis of the Shield passage, incorporating many of the views held by modern scholarship, arguing that the Shield works as a reflexive centerpiece within the poem, concentrating key themes and recalling crucial scenes at a climactic moment in the epic's narrative. My second chapter explores how the Shield, as the earliest example of an extended ekphrasis in Western culture, provides a sophisticated comment upon the nature of art, and explores the inferences that can be made from the description of a creative process within a poem performed in an oral tradition. My final chapter examines the Shield's political scenes arguing that the Shield passage provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Iliad as an early work of political thought and evidence of the nascent city-state.
