Sommario/riassunto

This book offers an insightful analysis of Carl Einstein's theories on art and his interpretation of Georges Braque's contributions to Cubism. It delves into Einstein's critique of the static perception of art, advocating for a dynamic interaction between the viewer and the artwork. The text explores how Braque's work exemplified a new conception of space and reality, challenging traditional perspectives. Einstein, a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century art scene, emphasized the sociological and ethnological aspects of art, viewing it as a 'living and magical means'. His theories align with the broader modernist movement, redefining realism and the role of art in reflecting the complexity of human experience. This book is intended for art historians, students, and enthusiasts interested in modern art and its theoretical underpinnings.

Sommario/riassunto

In The People That Never Were, Christopher M. Hutton takes a fresh look at the term Aryan, making the case that the concept was brought into being by western philology and Indology. Hutton then takes the reader through the history of the concept, beginning with colonial scholarship in India around 1800, and ending in the first decades of the twentieth century. By exploring the complex history of the Aryan paradigm, Hutton raises a challenging set of questions for the modern discipline of linguistics and illuminates the role of linguistic scholarship in political understandings of human diversity.
