CHINESE LANGUAGE VERSIONFASHION INDUSTRY BROADCASTMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY Vol 51 The MuseFrom the moment artists decided to sketch a pretty female face rather than a buffalo on a cave wall, they needed muses. From ancient Greece-when the nine goddess daughters of Zeus motivated artistic achievement-to today, the muse's face or fashion or innate grace or mystery has come to inhabit the minds of some of the greatest artists of all time, and whose inspiration has seen some of the greatest art created. In this edition of the Masters of Photography series Vol 51 we look at the Muses of the greatest photographers and artists of all time.MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY Vol 51 The Muse features:* Andy Warhol* Terry Richardson* Francis Bacon* Robert Mapplethorpe* Salvadore Dali* Guy Bourdain* Richard Avedon* Man Ray* Corrine Day* David Bailey* Mario Sorrenti* Pablo PicassoFashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY" is a series:MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 9 Living Legends MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 10 Living Legends MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 11 Immortals MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 12 Immortals MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 13 AustraliansMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 50 Living LegendsMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 51 The MuseMASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Vol 52 New GenFashion Industry Broadcast is the number one destination on the web for the latest in fashion, style, creative arts, creative media, models, celebrity biographies and much more.

The fascinating life and work of an artist who captured some of the first photographs of the Far East are presented in this gorgeous volume.

In On Their Own Terms, Benjamin A. Elman offers a much-needed synthesis of early Chinese science during the Jesuit period (1600-1800) and the modern sciences as they evolved in China under Protestant influence (1840s-1900). By 1600 Europe was ahead of Asia in producing basic machines, such as clocks, levers, and pulleys, that would be necessary for the mechanization of agriculture and industry. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Elman shows, Europeans still sought from the Chinese their secrets of producing silk, fine textiles, and porcelain, as well as large-scale tea cultivation. Chinese literati borrowed in turn new algebraic notations of Hindu-Arabic origin, Tychonic cosmology, Euclidian geometry, and various computational advances. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, imperial reformers, early Republicans, Guomindang party cadres, and Chinese Communists have all prioritized science and technology. In this book, Elman gives a nuanced account of the ways in which native Chinese science evolved over four centuries, under the influence of both Jesuit and Protestant missionaries. In the end, he argues, the Chinese produced modern science on their own terms.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, the most common method of photography was the daguerreotype—Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre’s miraculous invention that captured in a camera visual images on a highly polished silver surface through exposure to light. In this book are presented nearly eighty masterpieces—many never previously published—from the J. Paul Getty Museum’s extensive daguerreotype collection.
