Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Cloth, 267 pages, illustrations; 25 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear to boards. Variant cover. *** "The art of the human image arose millennia ago as a way beyond impermanence and, especially, to keep the dead among us. The pictorial object the icon often carried a charge as ritual or ceremonial artifact and, indeed, as a thing with a certain power. The artist Heide Hatry has extended this tradition by creating realistic portraits made out of the actual ashes of the departed person portrayed. Are the results reminiscent of ancient sacred and secular traditions and their complex, even mysterious function to, say, calm, enrich or transform our experience? Icons in Ash includes twenty of Hatry's portraits and twenty-seven contemporary writers who explore this phenomenon in original and engaging meditations on death, the dead body, art, relics, psychology, philosophy, religion, mourning, evolution, transformation, and immortality." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The Ones Who Are Left Behind, by Michael Amy; Image and Death: Embodiment in Early Cultures, by Hans Belting; Postmortem Photography in Europe and America, by Stanley B.
