We have more books available by this author!. x 182 pp. "They brought balls of spun cotton and parrots and javelins and other little things that it would be tiresome to write down and they gave everything for anything that was given to them. I was attentive and labored to find out if there was any gold." With these portentous words Christopher Columbus described one of his first encounters with Native Americans on the island of Guanahani which he had named San Salvador and claimed for Spain the day before. In Columbus in the Americas bestselling author William Least Heat-Moon reveals that Columbus's subsequent dealings with the cultures he encountered not only did considerable immediate harm but also set the pattern of behavior for those who followed him. Based on the logbook of Columbus and numerous other firsthand accounts of his four voyages to the New World this vividly detailed history also examines the strengths and weaknesses of Columbus as a navigator explorer and leader. It recounts dramatic events such as the destruction of Fortress Navidad the very first European settlement in the New World; a pitched battle in northern Panama with the native Guaymi people; and an agonizing year Columbus and his men spent marooned on a narrow spit of land in southern Jamaica. Filled with stories of triumph and tragedy courage and villainy Columbus in the Americas offers a balanced yet unflinching portrait of the most famous and controversial explorer in history.

200788059Bogotá: Universidad Nacional de Colombia Facultad de Artes 2007. 21 cm. Colección Punto Aparte. 172p b/w plates ports. frontis facs. meas. draws. appens. bibl. ind. pict. b/w pict. fldg. wrps Author Ardila Luna reconsiders the artistic representation of nature and the constant concern against natural disasters developing theories on the crisis of modernity and how different environmental effects have affected Colombian art. The study is divided in 2 chapters: 1 "The Interprested Landscape" is a study of a landscape exhibition by the same name organized in 1999 by the museum of the Banco de la República and 2 "Art and environmental anxiety" analyzes various exhibitions where artist reflect their ecological concerns. Includes interviews with Alberto Baraya and Maria Elvira Escallón. This is a major contribution to the literature on art landscape the environment and the relationship of disaster facing Colombia. Desde hace por lo menos 20 años no se había escrito sobre el paisaje en el arte colombiano. Era una deuda de los investigadores con el trabajo de muchos artistas contemporáneo que han escogido el paisaje como un reto para representarlo con la inocencia perdida porque se han dado cuenta de las fuerzas económicas políticas y sociales que lo atraviesan. Frente a este panorama tan amplio Óscar Ardila resolvió abordar su tesis de maestría con la pregunta sobre la representación del paisaje en el límite del sueño de dominio de la naturaleza y la preocupación frente al desastre. Es una tesis que va tejiendo teorías acerca de la crisis de la modernidad y de la representación con las obras de algunos artistas colombianos de los años 90. La imposibilidad de la naturaleza es un título que permite entrever una cierta ansiedad de los artistas frente al campo colombiano atravesado por el narcotráfico los sistemas policivos el desplazamiento la violencia y la deforestación. La imposibilidad de la naturaleza se refiere también a la imposibilidad de representarla sin poner en crisis los cánones. Una crisis que sin embargo ha inventado muchas estrategias: cartografías intervenciones en la tierra o en los árboles nuevas lecturas del pasado recolección de muestras caminatas registros siembras recolección de relatos grabaciones de sonido estrategias curatoriales confrontaciones comparaciones archivos.La imposibilidad es un síntoma de reconocimiento de una crisis y este libro se decide a plantear la urgencia de acompañar teóricamente unas obras de arte que se han abierto camino en solitario al reconocer una naturaleza en crisis casi imposible de representar. Este libro acompaña a los artistas que se han inventado sin embargo estrategias para recuperar la naturaleza en la imagen porque si lo pensamos detenidamente han reconocido la crisis en al territorio más vital y emocional que podamos imaginar.

"Portraiture is an art genre that appeared early in human history in both the East and the West. Korean portrait painting has a long history that goes back as far as the Goguryeo period but it flourished and saw its greatest development in the Joseon Dynasty. In Joseon the three bonds and five cardinal relationships of Confucianism formed the basis of the social order and few forms of visual art can help one understand the nature and underlying philosophy of Joseon society better than portraits do." p. 6.
