Figures of Reality: A Perspective on the Poetic Imagination by Roger Cardinal (1-Nov-1980) Hardcover

Henry Moore in the Light of Greece
(This book is based on an exhibition of Henry Moore's work...)
This book is based on an exhibition of Henry Moore's work held at the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art on the Greek island of Andros. The aim of the exhibition is to enable the visitor-viewer-reader to appreciate the full extent to which Moore's work has affinities with the art of ancient Greece, and to gain an awareness of the many influences, both apparent and less obvious, it exercised upon the sculptor. Evidence for such influences is well documented in Professor Roger Cardinal's erudite and inspired essay on Moore, which supports and substantiates the exhibition. Moore was present at the 1951 Zappeion Hall exhibition in Athens and, according to witnesses, he appeared dazzled by the Greek light and the ancient monuments. The majority of the works on display and which are illustrated in full in the book come from the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green. The illustrations cover both works of sculpture as well as drawings including some of the seminal pictures of people sheltering in the London underground during the Second World War. The book is extensively illustrated with archival photos of Henry Moore throughout his career.

Cultures of Collecting (Critical Views)
( This book traces the psychology, history and theory of ...)
This book traces the psychology, history and theory of the compulsion to collect, focusing not just on the normative collections of the Western canon, but also on collections that reflect a fascination with the "Other" and the marginal – the ephemeral, exotic, or just plain curious. There are essays on the Neoclassical architect Sir John Soane, Sigmund Freud and Kurt Schwitters, one of the masters of collage. Others examine imperialist encounters with remote cultures – the consquitadors in America in the sixteenth century, and the British in the Pacific in the eighteenth – and the more recent collectors of popular culture, be they of Swatch watches, Elvis Presley memorabilia or of packaging and advertising. With essays by Jean Baudrillard, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Nicholas Thomas, Mieke Bal, John Forrester, John Windsor, Naomi Schor, Susan Stewart, Anthony Alan Shelton, John Elsner, Roger Cardinal and an interview with Robert Opie.

The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (Essays in Art & Culture)
(Paul Nash (1889 - 1946) has long been admired as one of t...)
Paul Nash (1889 - 1946) has long been admired as one of the outstanding English landscape painters of this century. Nash has a deep affinity for such favourite sites in Southern England as the rolling downland near Swanage, the gaunt coastline at Dymchurch, the enigmatic stone circles at Avebury, and the twin hills in Oxfordshire known as the Wittenham Clumps which became his ultimate 'Place' and the focal symbol of his art. In this book Roger Cardinal surveys the full range of Nash's work, from the ravaged Flanders landscapes of World War One to the spectacular aerial battles of World War Two and the meditative late oils, his final materpieces.
