The iconic images of Parisian nightlife created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) became a hallmark of the bohemian lifestyle in fin-de-siècle Paris. A man born into aristocracy but handicapped by his physical disability, Toulouse-Lautrec immersed himself in his radical art and found company in avant-garde artists, dancers, and other social outcasts in Montmartre, Paris's district of pleasure. His widely popular prints of those otherwise marginalized by society captured the nonconformist spirit of the Belle Epoque (1871-1914). While the formal influence of Japanese prints-flat forms, cropped compositions, and vibrant colors-on Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries has been well studied, the shared anti-establishment hedonism that underlies both Japanese prints and Toulouse-Lautrec's work has not been examined in tandem. Rather than focusing on the visual connections between French and Japanese prints, Renegade Edo and Paris highlights the social impulses-pleasure seeking, theater going-that led to the tremendous print production in both Paris and Edo (present-day Tokyo). Drawing from the Seattle Art Museum's Japanese prints collection and from one of the most extensive private holdings of Toulouse-Lautrec prints, this catalogue presents more than 60 works to offer a critical look at the renegade spirit that permeates both Japanese prints and Toulouse-Lautrec's work
The 5th of a prestigious series of conferences, these proceedings are devoted to the latest achievements in ceramic materials and components for engines. Their purpose is to advance structural ceramics and ceramic engine technology on a worldwide scale and provide a state-of-the-art survey of this increasingly important field. The papers presented cover many aspects from basic research and development to production, properties and applications. These proceedings will be of interest to ceramists and mechanical engineers concerned with the potential use of ceramic components in engines.
The 767 papers of this 3-volume proceedings were first presented at the Fourth China International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics, held in October 2005 in Chengdu, sponsored by the Chinese Ceramic Society and organized by Tsignhua University (where both the editors teach and carry out their research). The papers are not organized by topic, however, both keyword and author indexes are provided (in Vol. 3). Each paper includes a list of keywords, an abstract, and a list of references and most are illustrated with b & w photos, tables, and schematics. Scientists from 24 countries are the contributors, though the majority are based in China. The conference proceedings also incorporates the Second International Workshop on Layered and Graded Materials and the First Satellite Symposium on Thermoelectrics.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). This special volume presents the latest advances in the science and technology of high-performance ceramics in China. More than 600 valuable original contributions were sifted, using a strict peer-review process, to yield the more than 229 manuscripts included in this collection. The contributions covered almost all aspects of the field including: functional ceramics, structural ceramics, processing of ceramics and the evaluation of ceramics.
The book contains the Proceedings of the 37th International Symposium on Archaeometry, 12th May 2008, Siena, Italy. The aim of the Symposium is to promote the development and use of scientific techniques in order to extract archaeological and historical information from cultural heritage and the paleoenvironment. It involves all Natural Sciences and all types of objects and materials related with human activity. Papers deal with the development and/or application of scientific techniques for extracting information related to human activities of the past, including the biological nature of man himself and the environment in which he lived. Topics include: Field Archaeology and Intergrated Site Studies; Archaeo-chronometry including recent developments in Radiocarbon Dating; Human - Environment Interactions including Geoarchaeology, Palaeoclimate studies, Landscape Archaeology, Environmental reconstructions, etc.; Bioarchaeology; Food preparation and consumption in Antiquity; the Technology and Provenance of Stone, Plaster, Pigments;Ceramics, Glazes, Glass and Vitreous Materials, Metals and Metallurgical Ceramics; and Micro/nano diagnostic techniques.
