Summary:
Patrick Maynard surveys the rich and varied practices of drawing, from the earliest markings on cave walls to the complex technical schematics that make the modern world possible, from cartoons and the first efforts of preschoolers to the works of skilled draftspeople and the greatest artists, East and West. Despite, or perhaps because of, its ubiquity, drawing as such has provoked remarkably little philosophical reflection. Nonphilosophical writing on the topic tends to be divided between specialties such as art history and mechanics. In this book, Maynard reveals the interconnections and developments that unite this fundamental autonomous human activity in all its diversity. Informed by close discussion of work in art history, art criticism, cognitive and developmental psychology, and aesthetics, Drawing Distinctions presents a theoretically sophisticated yet approachable argument that will improve comprehension and appreciation of drawing in its many forms, uses, and meanings.

The documents reproduced here offer an unprecedented avenue to the city's past - a fascinating collective portrait of the evolution of one of America's great towns. Among the seventy-four maps featured, many are seminal exemplars of this timeless art form: the "Kinzie Map," which accompanied the Narrative of the Massacre of 1812; the Rand McNally "View of the World's Columbian Exposition" of 1893; Daniel Burnham's influential "Chicago Plan" of 1909, which epitomized the ambitions of the City Beautiful Movement; W. T. Stead's "Map of Sin"; and Bruce-Roberts' 1931 "Gangland Map" - a tongue-in-cheek "exposé" of a city populated by such powerful underworld figures as Al Capone, "Baby Face" Nelson, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and others, indicating various gang territories and warehouses.

Rome est désormais solaire, inhabitée, géométrique. Ce sont surtout les artistes étrangers qui imposent ce changement des regards : Français d'abord, dans le sillage de David, puis Hollandais, Allemands, Anglais, Suisses, Danois. L'absence des Italiens s'explique : plus dépendants que les autres par rapport aux lois du marché, ils se risquent moins à des solutions radicales, qui remettraient en cause l'idée encore bien enracinée de la "bonne peinture". Aux origines de la mutation: la redécouverte du dorique, dont les formes élémentaires et primaires sont rapidement prises comme modèles pour les arts figuratifs. Peintres et architectes, c'est l'autre innovation, travaillent côte à côte, étudient les mêmes monuments, fréquentent les mêmes lieux. L'histoire qui se dessine est alors celle d'une conceptualisation et d'une abstraction progressives des formes et des espaces, avec des solutions expressives qui apparaissent aujourd'hui d'une extraordinaire modernité. C'est un XVIIIe siècle peu connu, qui rejoint l'histoire européenne de la peinture de paysage, le long d'une ligne qui conduit d'Henri de Valenciennes à Jean-Baptiste Corot.

Summary:
En cinquante planches, cet ouvrage donne à voir l'image de Paris depuis la fin du Moyen Age et les traces anciennes conservées dans la cité moderne. Les plans, commentés, sont précédés d'un exposé sur ce qu'ils apportent à la compréhension de la ville. Que représentent-ils au-delà des rues, des parcelles, des maisons, des monuments Pourquoi a-t-on représenté Paris ? Pour préparer des projets d'aménagement par un savant arpentage ou pour magnifier les réalisations des princes ? Comment l'a-t-on représenté ? Dans les vues cavalières qui révèlent sa complexité, dans les plans géométriques qui auscultent la forme urbaine ? L'analyse de cette cartographie montre des familles, des générations, une évolution non linéaire : le plan a valeur d'image qui excite le désir de découverte du voyageur et où l'habitant reconnaît sa ville ; il répond également à une recherche de l'exactitude satisfaisant l'esprit technique et tendant à l'abstraction. La succession de ces plans historiques constitue finalement la mémoire de la ville, à travers ses métamorphoses.

In "Apollo's Eye", geographer Denis Cosgrove examines the historical implications for the West of conceiving and representing the earth as a globe: a unified, spherical body. Cosgrove traces how ideas of globalism and globalization have shifted historically in relation to changing images of the earth, from antiquity to the Space Age. He connects the evolving image(...)

Summary:
In "Apollo's Eye", geographer Denis Cosgrove examines the historical implications for the West of conceiving and representing the earth as a globe: a unified, spherical body. Cosgrove traces how ideas of globalism and globalization have shifted historically in relation to changing images of the earth, from antiquity to the Space Age. He connects the evolving image of a unified globe to politically powerful conceptions of human unity. Cosgrove constructs a genealogy of global images from classical Greece and Rome to the present, giving special attention to the early sixteenth century, when Europeans circumnavigated the earth, relocated it within their understanding of the cosmos, and revolutionized its representation in models and maps. Each chapter focuses on specific images of the globe or whole earth, reproduced in a wealth of illustrations. Cosgrove's analysis traces a pattern of associations between global images and the formation of Western identities, paying tribute to the complex cosmographic tradition out of which today's geographical imagination has emerged.
