Written by an array of international experts, these collected essays gather perspectives from a diverse range of cultural sensibilities. From sensitive discussions of Tintoretto's unique approach to the play of light and darkness as exhibited in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, to the development of museum lighting as part of Japanese artistic self-fashioning, via the story of an epic American painting on tour, museum illumination in the work of Henry James, and lighting alterations at Chatsworth (to name only a few topics) this book is a treasure trove of illuminating contributions. The collection is at once a refreshing insight for the enthusiastic museum-goer, who is brought to an awareness of the exhibit in its immediate environment, and a wide-ranging scholarly compendium for the professional who seeks to proceed in their academic or curatorial work with a more enlightened sense of the lighted space."--Publisher's website. 606 $aArt$xExhibition techniques 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aexhibition spaces 610 $anineteenth century 610 $aJapan 610 $aAmerica 610 $atwentieth century 610 $amuseum lighting 610 $aWestern Europe 615 0$aArt$xExhibition techniques. 676 $a707.5 700 $aMamoli Zorzi$b Rosella (Editor)$4auth$01371872 702 $aMamoli Zorzi$b Rosella 702 $aManthorne$b Katherine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910318336703321 996 $aFrom darkness to light$93401613 997 $aUNINA
