Global Objects : Toward a Connected Art History
A bold reorientation of art history that bridges the divide between fine art and material culture through an examination of objects and their usesArt history is often viewed through cultural or national lenses that define some works as fine art while relegating others to the category of craft.Global Objects points the way to an interconnected history of art, examining a broad array of functional aesthetic objects that transcend geographic and temporal boundaries and challenging preconceived ideas about what is and is not art. Avoiding traditional binaries such as East versus West and fine art versus decorative art, Edward Cooke looks at the production, consumption, and circulation of objects made from clay, fiber, wood, and nonferrous base metals.Carefully considering the materials and process of making, and connecting process to product and people, he demonstrates how objects act on those who look at, use, and acquire them.He reveals how objects retain aspects of their local fabrication while absorbing additional meanings in subtle and unexpected ways as they move through space and time.In emphasizing multiple centers of art production amid constantly changing contexts, Cooke moves beyond regional histories driven by geography, nation-state, time period, or medium. Beautifully illustrated, Global Objects traces the social lives of objects from creation to purchase, and from use to experienced meaning, charting exciting new directions in art history.

Classic Objects
We dove headfirst into the sonic wonderland that is Jenny Hval's latest opus, "Classic Objects," and emerged with our brains thoroughly scrambled in the best possible way. Hval, the Norwegian avant-garde goddess, has once again defied categorisation with a collection of songs that are as confounding as they are enchanting. From the opening track, "The Dreamer Is Everyone in Her Dream," Hval takes us on a journey through a surrealist landscape populated by disembodied voices, glitchy electronics, and haunting melodies. This is not an album for the faint of heart or the easily bored - Hval demands your full attention and rewards it with a cornucopia of sonic delights. Tracks like "High Alice" and "Accident" showcase Hval's knack for combining the experimental with the accessible, weaving intricate tapestries of sound that are as thought-provoking as they are catchy. And then there's "Six Red Cannas," a sprawling epic that unfolds like a fever dream, full of unexpected twists and turns. But perhaps the album's crowning achievement is the seven-minute odyssey "Ashes to Ashes." With its pulsating beats, ethereal vocals, and shimmering synths, it's a tour de force that cements Hval's status as one of the most innovative artists of our time. "Classic Objects" is a triumph of imagination and a testament to Hval's boundless creativity. Dive in at your own risk - you may never want to come back.

Art and Objects
In this book, the founder of object-oriented ontology develops his view that aesthetics is the central discipline of philosophy.Whereas science must attempt to grasp an object in terms of its observable qualities, philosophy and art cannot proceed in this way because they don't have direct access to their objects.Hence philosophy shares the same fate as art in being compelled to communicate indirectly, allusively, or elliptically, rather than in the clear propositional terms that are often taken – wrongly – to be the sole stuff of genuine philosophy. Conceiving of philosophy and art in this way allows us to reread key debates in aesthetic theory and to view art history in a different way.The formalist criticism of Greenberg and Fried is rejected for its refusal to embrace the innate theatricality and deep multiplicity of every artwork.This has consequences for art criticism, making pictorial content more important than formalism thinks but less entwined with the social sphere than anti-formalism holds.It has consequences for art history too, as the surrealists, David, and Poussin, among others, gain in importance.The close link between aesthetics and ontology also invites a new periodization of modern philosophy as a whole, and the habitual turn away from Kant’s thing-in-itself towards an increase in philosophical "immanence" is shown to be a false dawn. This major work will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy, aesthetics, art history and cultural theory.

How can you draw everyday objects enlarged in art class?
In art class, you can draw everyday objects enlarged by using the technique of foreshortening. Foreshortening involves drawing objects in a way that makes them appear closer or larger than they actually are. You can also use the grid method to enlarge the objects by drawing a grid over the object and then drawing a larger grid on your paper to scale up the object. Additionally, you can use the technique of exaggeration to emphasize certain features of the object and make it appear larger than life.

Napoleonic Objects and their Afterlives : Art, Culture and Heritage, 1821-present
Two centuries after Napoleon Bonaparte’s death, this edited volume brings together a diverse group of historians, art historians, and museum professionals to critically examine the enduring power of visual and material culture in the making of Napoleonic memory.While most discussions surrounding the legendary figure explore his impact on legislative, political, or military reform, this innovative volume explores the global dimensions of the trade in Napoleonic collectibles, art, and relics over time. Representing new avenues of research and scholarship, Napoleonic Objects and their Afterlives investigates the material objects and cultural forms that Napoleon inspired through a range of themes.These include art collecting, the circulation and display of objects, political and imperial symbolism, and the flexibility and ambiguity of Napoleon’s enduring legacy.The essays examine how and why, despite his contentious role in contemporary memory, Napoleon continues to escape much historical and popular censure.They explore the ways people have connected with the idea of him: on stage and screen; in museums and galleries; and most intimately of all, by gathering items said to have belonged to him, right down to his toothbrush and locks of his hair. Napoleonic items can be official or personal, serious or comical, luxury or disposable, yet little work has been done to bring together these diverse cultural histories into conversation with one another.With its broad, multi-disciplinary approach, including perspectives from art history, film studies, cultural history, and museum curation, the book provides a deep critical insight into the cult of personality surrounding Napoleon and its effect on our understanding of celebrity culture today and in the future. Includes an additional foreword by Napoleon’s biographer, Ruth Scurr, author of In Gardens and Shadows (2021).

India: A History in Objects (British Museum)
An authoritative visual history of one of the world’s oldest and most vibrant cultures, drawing on South Asian art and artefacts from prehistory to the present. Arranged chronologically, and abundantly illustrated with expertly selected objects, this superb new overview connects today’s India with its past.Early chapters uncover prehistoric objects from 1.5 million years ago, examine artefacts from the Indus Civilization, and follow the emergence and transmission of Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism and Sikhism, as well as the incoming religions of Zoroastrianism, Islam and Christianity.During the medieval era, skills related to temple-building and sculpture-production in stone and bronze developed.From this remote period up to the present day, pilgrimage has been an important part of the spread of social, political and religious ideas.With the rise of the Mughals, the last Muslim dynasty of India, India once more became a leading economic power.The development of a distinct Mughal style can be traced in paintings, hardstone carving and metalwork.Following the advent of Europeans in India in the early Mughal period, trade in spices, textiles and other luxury goods increased.Later, in the 19th century, under British rule, much of South Asia became part of a national and international trade complex that saw Indian goods exported throughout the world.Modernism and political independence in the 20th century saw the fresh assertion of Indian culture through cinema, dance and music. An extraordinary range of history and culture is presented here, from the splendour of dynastic empires to the rural, and tribal life of the subcontinent.This is a compelling visual history of some of the world’s oldest cultures.
