Librería: LEFT COAST BOOKS, Santa Maria, CA, Estados Unidos de America
Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st. Cloth, 79 pages, colour illustrations; 31 cm. Published in association with the University Art Museum, Santa Barbara. Based on an exhibition organized by Phyllis Plous at the University Art Museum, Santa Barbara, March 1989. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light edgewear to boards & dust jacket. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "In these color photographs of art and natural history museums and their holdings, Ross, who teaches at UC Santa Barbara, wields considerable wit in constructing images of the institutions as we don't usually see them. In some cases, an animal's spirit is shown to have survived the taxidermist's art, flouting the authority of the knife (the face of a stuffed rhinoceros peers skeptically through glass, as though once again regnant). Elsewhere, held in suspended animation, victims in display cases seem sustained only by artifice, creating illusions of a perfectly orderly, hierarchical nature brought home to roost. In pure fun, Ross portrays a classical nude sculpture appearing to take cover from onlookers in a museum corner, and offers a delightful closeup of stuffed lions engaged in ferociously kitsch battle. But his thoughtful book, an exhibition catalogue, does more than amuse; it leaves readers with disquieting thoughts of predator and prey in museums and culture at large." - Publisher. Size: 4to.
