Part Of A Large Collection Of Original Antique Engravings Formed By A Southern California Artist In The Early To Middle Twentieth Century. Each Plate Has Small Glue Marks On Reverse Where They Were Tipped In To An Album. Antoine Arnauld 1612 - 1694 - Le Grand As Contemporaries Called Him To Distinguish Him From His Father - Was A French Roman Catholic Theologian Philosopher And Mathematician. He Was One Of The Leading Intellectuals Of The Jansenist Group Of Port-Royal And Had A Very Thorough Knowledge Of Patristics. He Was One Of The First To Adopt The Philosophy Of René Descartes Though With Certain Orthodox Reservations Relating To Meditations On First Philosophy; And Between 1683 And 1685 He Had A Long Battle With Nicolas Malebranche On The Relation Of Theology To Metaphysics. On The Whole Public Opinion Leant To Arnauld's Side. When Malebranche Complained That His Adversary Had Misunderstood Him Boileau Silenced Him With The Question: "My Dear Sir Whom Do You Expect To Understand You If M. Arnauld Does Not" Later Arnauld Was Engaged In An Extensive Correspondence With Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Regarding The Latter's Views Detailed In His "Discourse On Metaphysics" 1686. Popular Regard For Arnauld's Penetration Was Much Increased In His L'art De Penser Commonly Known As The Port-Royal Logic Which Kept Its Place As An Elementary Text-Book Until The 20Th Century And Is Considered A Paradigmatical Work Of Term Logic. Arnauld Came To Be Regarded As Important Among The Mathematicians Of His Time; One Critic Described Him As The Euclid Of The 17Th Century. After His Death His Reputation Began To Wane. Contemporaries Admired Him As A Master Of Intricate Reasoning; On This Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet The Greatest Theologian Of The Age Agreed With Henri François D'aguesseau The Greatest Lawyer. However His Eagerness To Win Every Argument Endeared Him To No One. "In Spite Of Myself" Arnauld Once Said Regretfully "My Books Are Seldom Very Short."Citation Needed. Despite Arnauld's Achievements In Various Fields His Name Is Mostly Known Because Of Pascal's Acclaimed Writings Which Were More Fit For The General Public Than Arnauld's Technical Essays.

One Of A Large Collection Of Original Antique Engravings Formed By A Southern California Artist In The Early To Middle Twentieth Century. Each Plate Has Small Glue Marks On Reverse Where They Were Tipped In To An Album. Antoine Houdar Or Houdart Of La Motte Born On January 17 1672 In Paris Where He Died On December 26 1731 Is A French Writer And Playwright . He Held An Important Place In The Literary Life Of His Time By His Writings And His Conceptions. In The Salon Of The Marquise De Lambert Whose La Motte Was One Of The Pillars With His Friend Fontenelle With Whom He Shared An Absence Of Prejudice And A Spirit Of Investigation The Question Was Considered Of Whether Versification Was Indispensable To Poetry. It Was Ultimately Thought That The Verse Rendered The Poet Slave With Superfluous Complicated And Harmful Rules Which Favored The Ankles And Periphrases And Hindered The True Expression Of Poetry. It Was Advocated To Return To The Sharpness And Firmness Of Prose Especially In The Theater For Reasons Of Naturalness. Houdar De La Motte Wanted To Demonstrate That Prose Could Very Well Serve Poetry. He Gave Fenelon's The Adventures Of Telemachus As An Example In This Sense And Put In Prose A Scene Of Mithridates Of Racine.His Reputation Today Rests On The Excellent Prose In Which He Expressed His Views Much Better Than His Verses Hard And Colorless. We Also Remember That He Refrained From Answering A Letter From Jean-Philippe Rameau Who Would Have Liked To Put One Of His Librettos To Music: Probably A Great Opportunity Missed By Houdar De La Motte. But More Than By His Productions It Is By His Role In The Movement Of Ideas And By The Important Place He Occupied In The Literary Life Of His Time That The Name Of Houdar De La Motte Has Reached Us. "He Proved According To Voltaire That In The Art Of Writing One Can Still Be Something In The Second Rank. "French Wikipedia. Gérard Edelinck 20 October 1640 Baptized - 2 April 1707 Was A Copper-Plate Engraver And Print Publisher Of Flemish Origin Who Worked In Paris From 1666 And Became A Naturalized French Citizen In 1675; His Son Nicolas-Etienne Edelinck Did This Engraving. <br/> <br/> unknown

A Fine copy in a Very Good Minus DJ. 4 lbs. 7 oz. Giovanni Battista di Iacopo di Rossi 1494-1540 known as Rosso Fiorentino is considered one of the foremost exponents of Italian Mannerism. From the very first highly significant works commissioned of him his rebellious impulse against the constraints of a classicism then in crisis is clearly evident. An aggressive and iconoclastic spirit Rosso Fiorentino made a fundamental contribution in his subsequent works to the richest and most disquieting current of the Maniera proposing compositions that were tormented convulsive and animated by an expressionism bordering on caricature. The author sketches a personal profile of him within the pages of this volume offering numerous insights into the art of one of the most audacious and poetic creators in the history of Western art. Giovanni Battista di Iacopo di Rossi detto Rosso Fiorentino Firenze 1494 Parigi 1540 è considerato uno dei massimi interpreti del manierismo italiano. Sin dalle prime importantissime opere che gli vennero commissionate risulta evidente il suo slancio ribelle alle costrizioni di un classicismo ormai in crisi. Spirito aggressivo e iconoclasta Rosso Fiorentino diede nelle opere successive un contributo fondamentale alla corrente più ricca e inquietante della maniera proponendo composizioni tormentate convulse e animate da un espressionismo tale da rasentare la caricatura. L'autore traccia nelle pagine di questo volume un suo personale profilo offrendo numerosi spunti di riflessione sull'arte di uno dei più spregiudicati e poetici artefici della storia artistica dell'Occidente. <br/> <br/> Silvana Editoriale hardcover

2009145973<p>Andros: Goulandris Foundation 2009. In French. Titled <strong>"Paul Delvaux and the Antiquity"</strong> the exhibition features 60 oil paintings and drawings from private and public collections in Europe and the United States as well as from major European institutions such as the Delvaux Foundation and the Roual Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium which is also co-organizing the show together with the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation. This is the first time that the oeuvre of this exceptionally important Belgian artist of the 20th century is shown to Greece in an exhibition. Paul Delvaux contributed to modern art his very unique and personal expression as far as the genre of the female nude is concerned. Further to this he established new modulations regarding the space in which painting takes action. He pursued his pictorial stride within the symbolic codes of James Ensor the mysterious metaphysical tension of Giorgio de Chirico and the iconographic poetry of Ren Magritte and although he never accepted the full title of the surrealist painter he is considered to be an established representative of this major artistic movement. The exhibition focuses mainly on the references and the relations Delvaux developed with Greece through the myths and the inexhaustible Greek subject-matter from which he systematically extracted facts and elements in order to interweave his own personal subjective mythology.</p><p>Curator of the exhibition was Michel Draguet director of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium Brussels.
