Лондонская Национальная галерея - одно из лучших в мире собраний западноевропейской живописи. Музей был открыт в 1824 решением британского парламента. Основой галереи стала коллекция банкира Ангерштейна, выкупленная у его наследников и состоящая из 38 картин. Сегодня экспозиция построена строго в хронологическом порядке, в галерее представлено более 2000 произведений всех европейских школ живописи XIII - начала XX века.

In this book the notions of real learning and equality are approached as processes of becoming leading to the figuration of new worlds through local curations of learning and practice. Though its main theses are mainly grounded in the context of art practice and education they have a much wider application to other (perhaps all) contexts of learning through the notions of pedagogies against the state and pedagogies of the event. Learning is conceived as a political act rather than, for example, an incremental process of psychological or sociological development.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental changes which have occurred in both the institutions and practice of art history over the last thirty years. Jonathan Harris examines and accounts for the new approaches to the study of art which have been grouped loosely under the term "the new art history." Structured around an examination of key texts by major contemporary critics, including Griselda Pollock, Fred Orton, Albert Boime, Alan Wallach and Laura Mulvey, each chapter discusses a key moment in the discipline of art history, tracing the development and interaction of Marxist, feminist and psychoanalytic critical theories.

This issue extends into the late nineteenth century Albert Boimes commanding perspective on the dynamics of cultural development within the nascent industrial and capitalist democratic societies of Europe and the Unit- States. Boimes now-indispensable erudition and scholarship are always accessible and enjoyable, fostering a sense of the readers participation in this art historical journey toward explanations of a social and cultural order increasingly familiar to us now in ours.

Here is the real inside story—not the one about the Stieg Larsson phenomenon, but rather the love story of a man and a woman whose lives came to be guided by politics and love, coffee and activism, writing and friendship. Only one person in the world knows that story well enough to tell it with authority. Her name is Eva Gabrielsson.
